BS EN 3475-201:2002

What is BS EN 3475-201- Visual examination of electric cables about?   

BS EN 3475-201 specifies a method for the visual inspection of conductors and cables. It shall be used together with EN 3475-100. 

BS EN 3475-201 has been prepared by the European Association of Aerospace Manufacturers (AECMA). BS EN 3475-201 covers the characteristics of conductors, cables, and their methods for inspection.  

Who is BS EN 3475-201- Visual examination of electric cables for?  

BS EN 3475-201 on visual examination of electric cables is useful for:  

• Electric cables inspectors  
• Aerospace products manufacturers     
• Testing agencies involved in the inspection of aerospace products           
• Quality control personnel for spacecraft products        
• Aeronautical engineers   
• Aerospace researchers 

Why should you use BS EN 3475-201- Visual examination of electric cables?   

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 3475-201 provides best practice guidelines on the inspection of conductors and cables in aircraft. BS EN 3475-201 is important because it helps enhance product quality and end-user satisfaction. 

By adopting BS EN 3475-201, manufacturers can demonstrate the reliability of products and build trust in their use throughout the aerospace supply chain.   The guidelines in BS EN 3475-201, ensures the efficiency of aircraft systems, thereby preventing damage and danger to aircraft cables during use.
