Scope

This part of IEC 60245 applies to rigid and flexible cables with insulation, and sheath if any, based on vulcanized rubber of rated voltages Uo/U up to and including 450/750 V used in power installations of nominal voltage not exceeding 450/750 V a.c. NOTE For some types of flexible cables the term ‘cord’ is used. The particular types of cables are specified in IEC 60245-3, IEC 60245-4, etc. The code designations of these types of cables are given in Annex A. The test methods specified in Parts 1 to 8 are given in IEC 60245-2, IEC 60332-1 and in the relevant parts of IEC 60811.
