Flat polyvinyl chloride sheathed flexible cables
This European Standard covers the construction, requirements and particular test methods for flat, flexible PVC insulated and PVC sheathed cables, of rated voltage Uo/U 300/500 V, for use in passenger and goods lifts (elevators), and Uo/U 450/750 V for general purposes and for special applications such as hoists and travelling cranes. Cables of composite construction (for instance, cables with cores of different sizes) are not specified, but conditions are given for the inclusion of telecommunication units into the cables. NOTE 1 This revision is in accordance with an agreement with CEN TC 10 to specify in the same standard a) flexible cables for lifts as required by EN 81, and b) flexible cable for applications such as hoists and travelling cranes, previously found in HD 359. In accordance with this agreement only those cables in Clauses 5 and 6 are suitable for use with EN 81. NOTE 2 The limits for the overall diameter of the cables have been calculated in accordance with EN 60719.
Flache PVC-ummantelte Steuerleitungen
Diese Europäische Norm umfasst Aufbau, Anforderungen und besondere Prüfverfahren für flache, PVC-isolierte und -ummantelte flexible Leitungen mit einer Nennspannung von Uo/U 300/500 V für die Verwendung an Personen- und Lastenaufzügen und von Uo/U 450/750 V für allgemeine Verwendung und spezielle Anwendungen wie z. B. Aufzüge und Laufkräne. Leitungen mit gemischtem Aufbau (z. B. Leitungen mit unterschiedlichen Leiternennquerschnitten) sind nicht festgelegt; es sind jedoch die Bedingungen für die Aufnahme von Elementen für Nachrichtenübermittlung in die Leitungen festgelegt. ANMERKUNG 1 Diese Überarbeitung erfolgt Übereinstimmung mit dem Abkommen mit CEN TC 10, um in der gleichen Norm a) flexible Leitungen nach EN 81 und b) flexible Leitungen für Anwendungen wie Aufzüge und Laufkräne festzulegen, die vorher in HD 359 zu finden waren. Nach dieser Übereinkunft sind nur die Leitungen in den Abschnitten 5 und 6 für Anwendungen nach EN 81 geeignet. ANMERKUNG 2 Die Außenmaße der Leitungen sind in Übereinstimmung mit EN 60719 berechnet worden.

1 Scope
This European Standard covers the construction, requirements and particular test methods for
flat, flexible PVC insulated and PVC sheathed cables, of rated voltage U /U 300/500 V, for
o
use in passenger and goods lifts (elevators), and U /U 450/750 V for general purposes and for
o
special applications such as hoists and travelling cranes.

3 Definitions
3.1 Definitions relating to insulating and sheathing materials
3.1.1
type of compound
the category in which a compound is placed according to its properties, and determined by
specific tests. The type designation is not directly related to the composition of the compound
3.1.2
polyvinyl chloride compound (PVC)
combinations of materials, of which polyvinyl chloride is the characteristic constituent, suitably
selected, proportioned and treated which meet the requirements given in the particular
specification
3.2 Definitions relating to the tests
3.2.1
type tests (Symbol T)
tests required to be made before supplying a type of cable covered by this standard on a
general commercial basis, in order to demonstrate satisfactory performance characteristics to
meet the intended application. These tests are of such a nature that, after they have been
made, they need not be repeated unless changes are made in the cable materials, design or
type of manufacturing process which might change the performance characteristics
3.2.2
sample tests (Symbol S)
tests made on samples of completed cable, or components taken from a completed cable
adequate to verify that the finished product meets the design specifications
3.2.3
routine tests (Symbol R)
tests made on all production cable lengths to demonstrate their integrity
3.3
rated voltage
the rated voltage of a cable is the reference voltage for which the cable is designed, and
which serves to define the electrical tests
The rated voltage is expressed by the combination of two values U /U, expressed in volts:
o
U being the r.m.s. value between any insulated conductor and "earth" (metal covering of the
o
cable or the surrounding medium);
U being the r.m.s. value between any two phase-conductors of a multicore cable or of a
system of single-core cables.
In an alternating current system, the rated voltage of a cable shall be at least equal to the
nominal voltage of the system for which it is intended.
This condition applies both to the value U and to the value U.
o
In a direct current system, the nominal voltage between conductors shall be not higher than
1,5 times the rated voltage (U) of the cable, and the nominal voltage between any conductor
and earth shall not be higher than 1,5 times the rated voltage (U ) of the cable.
o
NOTE The operating voltage of a system may permanently exceed the nominal voltage of such a system by
10 %. A cable can be used at a 10 % higher operating voltage than its rated voltage if the latter is at least equal to
the nominal voltage of the system.

3.4
freely suspended length
the unsupported allowed length of cable between two fixing points
3.5
strain bearing member (sbm)
metallic or non-metallic high tensile strand or bunch included in the cable construction in
order to hold the cable weight

Unless otherwise indicated in Clauses 5, 6 or 7 of this EN, the cables shall comply with the
general requirements specified in HD 21.1, Clause 5.
