Specifies the construction, dimensions and test requirements for cables insulated with polymeric materials intended for use in electrical installations at working voltages up to and including 0.6/1 (1.2) kV. It does not apply to polymeric insulated cables for special installations for which there are separate Australian/New Zealand Standards, e.g. flexible lift control cables, neutral screened cables, welding cables, flexible cords and aerial bundled cables.

This Standard specifies construction, dimensions and tests for single and multicore cables insulated with polymeric materials intended for use in electrical installations at working voltages up to and including 0.6/1 (1.2) kV. It does not apply to polymeric insulated cables for special installations and service conditions or for which there are separate Australian/New Zealand Standards, e.g. flexible lift control cables, neutral screened cables, welding cables, flexible cords and aerial bundled cables. NOTES: 1 Purchasing guidelines are contained in Appendix A. 2 AS/NZS 3008.1 should be referenced to assist correct cable size selection for the intended application and installation.
