The IEC 60811 series specifies the test methods to be used for testing non-metallic materials of all types of cables. These test methods are intended to be referenced in standards for
cable construction and for cable materials.
BS EN 60811-203 is 203rd part of IEC 60811 and gives the methods for measuring overall dimensions. BS EN 60811-203 is applicable to all types of cable, circular and flat.
BS EN 60811-203 on non-metallic electric cable materials is relevant to:
Electric cables are designed to continue to operate in a designated manner whilst subjected to a specific source of heat for a specified period of time under specified conditions.
BS EN 60811-203 provides you test method which includes a general specification measuring procedure, evaluation of the measurement results, and reports that ensure you the classification of non-metallic electric cables.
Compliance with BS EN 60811-203 can benefit you by providing accurate and necessary tests to demonstrate compliance that the non-metallic material chosen is suitable for the specified application based on a range of parameters. This not only ensures the operational efficiency of communication cables but also the safety of the product end-user.
