Specifies the requirements for cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) and ethylene propylene rubber (EPR) insulated cables for fixed installations for electricity supply, with or without armour, including single-core and three-core cables comprising individually screened cores and three-core cables comprising collectively screened cores.

This Standard specifies requirements for cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) and ethylene propylene rubber (EPR) insulated cables for fixed installations for electricity supply.NOTE: Optional requirements for metal sheath, armour, water-blocking, protection from insect attack and metre marking on cable are provided in Clauses 2.9, 2.12, 2.14, 2.15 and 2.17 respectively.Sections 1 to 3 of this Standard cover the general requirements for cables with individually or collectively screened cores, Section 4 requirements are specific to cables with individually screened cores, and Section 5 requirements are specific to three-core cables with collectively screened cores.
