This standard specifies the test method for determining the shrinkage properties of non-metallic sheathing materials used in power and optical fiber cables. It outlines procedures to evaluate mechanical performance, focusing on the assessment of how these materials contract under specific conditions. The methodology described is intended to ensure that cable components maintain their integrity and functionality over time.
