BS G 246 specifies the design, performance, quality assurance requirements and test procedures for cable ties for installation under controlled tension on aircraft electric cable harnesses. Ties which have provision for marking are covered but BS G 246 does not include accessories such as mounting brackets, separate identification tags, reusable ties, or application tools. Guidance on the storage of finished ties is given in Appendix A, and a recommended ordering procedure is given in Appendix B.
BS G 246 on specification for cable ties is useful for:
A cable tie (also known as a hose tie, zip tie, or tie-wrap) is a type of fastener, used to harness and bundle items, primarily electrical cables, and wires together to keep them organized and prevent damage. Because of their low cost, ease of use, and binding strength, cable ties are ubiquitous, finding use in a wide range of other applications. When it comes to the manufacturing and use of aerospace components, reliability, consistent performance and durability are crucial.
BS G 246 provides design requirements for cable ties used in the aerospace industry. This can ensure that your products comply with the best industry requirements which ensures its reliability.
BS G 246 provides production and quality testing methods. This ensures your products meet the quality and performance needs of the end-application.
With compliance to BS G 246, can demonstrate the reliability of cable ties and build trust in their use throughout the aerospace supply chain.
