What is BS EN 60702-1 – Mineral insulated cables about?
BS EN 60702-1:2002+A1:2015 Mineral insulated cables and their terminations with a rated voltage not exceeding 750 V is the UK implementation of EN 60702-1:2002+A1:2015 . It is identical to IEC 60702-1:2002 , incorporating amendment 1:2015. It supersedes BS EN 60702-1:2002 .
BS EN 60702-1:2002+A1:2015 applies to mineral insulted general wiring cables with copper or copper alloy sheath and copper conductors and with rated voltages of 500V and 750V. Provision is made for an extruded corrosion-resistant outer covering over the copper sheath when required. This outer covering is not specified for the purposes of electrical insulation of the metal sheath.
Requirements for terminations for use with these cables are given in BS EN 60702-2 .
The purpose of this standard is to specify mineral insulated cables that are safe and reliable when properly used, to state the manufacturing requirements and characteristics to achieve this, and to specify methods for checking conformity with these requirements.
