Overview
EN 3475-402:2002 is a CEN/AECMA aerospace test method that specifies how to measure shrinkage and delamination of finished electrical cables for aircraft use. Intended to be used together with EN 3475-100 (general test methods), this standard defines specimen preparation, required apparatus and the pass/fail criteria for a controlled thermal conditioning test.
Key topics and requirements
- Scope: Measurement of shrinkage and delamination on finished aerospace cables; used in conjunction with EN 3475-100.
- Specimen preparation:
- Take a 300 mm specimen from the finished cable.
- Cut ends so the conductor is flush with the insulation; for shielded cables, ensure all conductors are in the same plane as the jacket at the two ends.
- Apparatus:
- An air-circulating oven is required.
- Test method:
- Place the specimen in the air-circulating oven for 6 hours at the temperature specified in the product standard (product standard defines the exact temperature).
- After exposure, remove the specimen and return it to ambient temperature for inspection.
- Acceptance criteria:
- Maximum allowable shrinkage at either end is defined by the applicable product standard (measured as the length of any bare part of conductor(s)); shrinkage must not exceed that value.
- Any debonding or delamination of layers-either along the insulation or at the ends-is considered a defect.
Applications and who uses it
- Aerospace cable manufacturers - for product qualification and routine production quality control of aircraft electrical cables.
- Quality assurance laboratories - to perform standardized shrinkage and delamination testing during incoming inspection or type approval.
- Aerospace OEMs and certification bodies - to verify cable performance against specified product standards.
- Suppliers and maintenance organizations - to confirm long-term dimensional stability of installed cable assemblies after thermal exposure.
Practical value
- Ensures cable insulation and layer bonding integrity after thermal stress-critical for electrical reliability and safety in aircraft systems.
- Provides repeatable, auditable test steps (specimen size, oven type, exposure time) that link directly to product-specific limits defined in the product standard.
