BS EN 50290-2-23 is a European Standard on communication cables that gives specific requirements for PE compounds to be used for the insulation of telephone wire for the external plant.
Using raw material and type test data as outlined in this BS EN 50290-2-23, the raw material supplier will have sufficient data to demonstrate compliance and warrant that the material is suitable for the specified application.
BS EN 50290-2-23 on polyethylene insulation for multi-pair cables is relevant to:
Polyethylene insulation cables are useful in a wide range of industries and the quality of compounds/materials determines their use in specified applications based on resistance to heat, oil, corrosion, and chemicals.
BS EN 50290-2-23 provides compound test requirements, cable test requirements, insulation compounds properties with health, safety, and environmental regulations to ensure the quality Of multi-pair cables.
Overall BS EN 50290-2-23 can benefit you by providing accurate and necessary tests to demonstrate compliance that the insulation material chosen is suitable for the specified application based on a range of parameters. This ensures the operational efficiency of communication cables and the safety of the product end-user.
