EN 60332-3-10:2018 details the apparatus and its arrangement and calibration for methods of test for the assessment of vertical flame spread of vertically mounted bunched wires or cables, electrical or optical, under defined conditions.

This European Standard establishes the requirements and tests for cover plates and cover tapes used for the mechanical protection, identification and warning of the location of buried cables or buried conduits.

This document details a designation system for harmonised power cables and cords according to EN 50525 (series), EN 50214, EN 50618 and EN 50620.
NOTE The use of the system for Recognised National Types of cable or cord has been withdrawn by CLC/TC 20. For non-harmonised cables National Committees are permitted to use any designation that does not conflict with this HD, but see Tables 2 and 4 for recommendations.

This part of IEC 60317 specifies the requirements of enamelled round aluminium winding
wires of class 200 with a dual coating. The underlying coating is based on polyester or
polyesterimide resin, which can be modified provided it retains the chemical identity of the
original resin and meets all specified wire requirements. The superimposed coating is based
on polyamide-imide resin.
NOTE A modified resin is a resin that has undergone a chemical change, or contains one or more additives to
