Specifies the test methods to be used for testing polymeric sheathing and insulating materials of electric cables for telecommunications and power distribution including cables used on ships. Gives the thermal ageing methods which apply to the most common types of insulating and sheathing compounds (elastomeric, PE, PVC, PP, etc). Coverage includes test values, applicability, pre-conditioning, test temperature, and thermal ageing methods.
