BS EN 50363-7:2005

This standard BS EN 50363-7:2005 Insulating, sheathing and covering materials for low voltage energy cables is classified in these ICS categories:

• 29.035.20 Plastics and rubber insulating materials

This part of EN 50363 specifies the requirements for the physical properties of the harmonised halogen-free thermoplastic insulating compounds given in Table 1. The relevant test methods are given in EN 60811 series, EN 50267-2 (series), EN 60684-2 and EN 50396.

NOTE 1 Requirements for smoke emission, which are based on tests on cables and not individual materials, are given in the relevant cable standard.

NOTE 2 This part of EN 50363 is to be read in conjunction with EN 50363-0.
