Bibliography

Defines test procedures for testing polymeric insulating and sheathing materials of electric and optical fibre cables for power distribution and communications, including ships' cables. Provides procedures for measuring tensile strength and elongation at break following preconditioning, for wrapping test after thermal ageing in air, for measuring mass increase, for long-term stability test and for measuring copper-catalysed oxidative degradation, applicable to polyolefin insulations.
