BS EN 3475-405 specifies a method of determining the behavior of a cable after a bend test at ambient temperature. It shall be used together with EN 3475-100.
BS EN 3475-405 has been prepared by the European Association of Aerospace Manufacturers (AECMA). BS EN 3475-405 covers the preparation of specimens, apparatus, requirements, and methods for determining the behaviour of a cable after a bend test at ambient temperature.
BS EN 3475-405 on test methods for bending at ambient temperature is useful for:
Aerospace electrical cables sustain intense vibration during take-off, flight, and landing, while also being subject to harsh environmental conditions. Cable faults cost money and create disruption, so there is an enormous demand for cable test techniques to ensure cables and joints are in good condition.
BS EN 3475-405 provides best practice guidelines on the test methods for determining the behaviour of a cable after a bend test at ambient temperature in aircraft systems. BS EN 3475-405 is important because it enhances the product quality and end-user satisfaction. By adopting BS EN 3475-405, the manufacturers can demonstrate the reliability of products and build trust in their use throughout the aerospace supply chain.
The guidelines in BS EN 3475-405, ensure the efficiency of aircraft systems, thereby preventing damage and danger to aircraft cables during use.
