Gives guidance to help installers, cabling designers and end users to understand the characteristics of electric cables with a rated voltage not exceeding 450/750 V (U[0]/U) or equivalent d.c. voltages, so that the cable can be selected, installed and operated in a safe way.

This European Standard provides guidance to help installers, cabling designers and end users to understand the characteristics of electric cables, with a rated voltage not exceeding 450/750V (U0/U) or equivalent d.c. voltages, so that the cable can be selected, installed and operated in a safe way. It is applicable to those cable types that are specified in EN50525 (all parts).

The guidance given in this European Standard can also be applicable to low-voltage cables of a similar type to those specified in EN50525 but not specifically mentioned in those standards. In these cases, it is advisable to seek additional advice from the cable manufacturer.

Legal or statutory requirements do take precedence over the guidance given in this document.
