BS EN 60811-407 is an international standard on electric and optical fibre cable. BS EN 60811-407 is the 407th part of IEC 60811. BS EN 60811-403 gives the procedure to examine a possible interaction between insulation material and filling compound of filled cable.
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 60811-407 on Polyethylene and polypropylene compounds measurement 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 60811-407 provides test method which includes a general specification, apparatus, Sampling, test pieces preparation, and test procedure with a test report that helps you to ensure good performance of mass increase of polyethylene and polypropylene compounds.
Compliance with BS EN 60811-407 can benefit you by providing accurate and necessary tests to demonstrate compliance regarding chosen insulation material and its suitability for the specified application based on a range of dimensions. This not only ensures the operational efficiency of communication cables but also the safety of the product end-user.
