CONTAINED IN VOL. 10.02, 2016 Describes the relative resistance to vented water-tree growth in solid translucent thermoplastic or cross-linked electrical insulating materials.

1.1This test method covers the relative resistance to vented water-tree growth in solid translucent thermoplastic or cross-linked electrical insulating materials. This test method is especially applicable to extruded polymeric insulation materials used in medium-voltage cables.

1.2The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.

1.3This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitation prior to use. For specific hazard statements see 8.1.

1.4There is no similar or equivalent IEC standard.
