BS EN 15701:2016

What is BS EN 15701 - Thermoplastic jackets about ?

BS EN 15701 is an international standard used for plastics that specifies the test method for thermoplastic jackets which ensures your safety while manufacturing the insulation products.    

BS EN 15701 specifies the requirements for thermoplastic jackets for insulation products for building equipment and industrial installations and the test methods to be used. 

Note: BS EN 15701 does not apply to systems in which the jackets have already been securely fixed over the whole surface of insulating material in situ. 

Who is BS EN 15701 - Thermoplastic jackets for ? 

BS EN 15701 on plastics is useful for: 

• Manufacturers of insulation products 
• Manufacturers of building equipment 
• Manufacturers of machinery  
• Manufacturers of plastic products 

Why should you use BS EN 15701 - Thermoplastic jackets ?

Thermoplastic jackets are the next step up from PVC jackets. These Thermoplastic jackets are useful in ensuring your safety while manufacturing or installing the products.  
BS EN 15701 specifies the test method, test procedure for these thermoplastic jackets. This test method is useful in measuring the residual content of monomer vinyl chloride.  
Using BS EN 15701, you can measure the film thickness and tensile-impact strength. The test method helps in ensuring the fire resistivity of these thermoplastic jackets. BS EN 15701, you can produce better quality thermoplastic jackets used for safety purposes.
