IEC 60245-8:2026
IEC 60245-8:2026 defines the particular requirements for rubber insulated and textile braid covered cords of rated voltage 300/300 V, for use in applications where high flexibility is required, for example iron cords, which apply in addition to the general requirements specified in IEC 60245-1, which apply to all cables. The tests for cables specified in the IEC 60245 series are described in IEC 63294.
IEC 60245-8:2026 includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) reference to IEC 60245-2 for the tests has been deleted and replaced by IEC 63294;
b) reference to lift cable according to IEC 60245-5 has been deleted;
c) normative references have been updated.
