Design, control of work and actual jointing procedures.

This Part of BS 6910 provides guidance on the procedures to be followed when making joints by the cold pour resin or heat-shrink methods in cables in the voltage range up to 1000 V a.c. and 1500 V d.c.

This code describes procedures to be adopted for jointing packs manufactured in accordance with BS 6910 : Part 1. It does not cover the problems that may be encountered if components from packs of different manufacturers are used in jointing.

This code is limited to jointing on cables that are not energized and, therefore, should not be applied to the practice of jointing of live cables.
