Bibliography

Provides general guidance for the safe use of electric cables with a rated voltage not exceeding 450/750 V. It is applicable to those cables that are specified in IEC 60227 and IEC 60245. The guidance given in this standard can also be applicable to low-voltage cables of a similar type to those specified in IEC 60227 and IEC 60245 but not specifically mentioned in those standards. In such cases, it is advisable to seek additional advice from the cable manufacturer.
