Introduction
EN 50264 covers a range of cables with standard wall thickness of insulation, both
sheathed and unsheathed, based upon halogen free materials, for use in railway rolling
stock. It is divided into 3 parts:
Part 1: General requirements;
Part 2: Single core cables;
Part 3: Multicore cables.
Special test methods referred to in EN 50264 are given in EN 50305. A guide to use is
given in (EN 50355 – under development).
The cables in part 2 may also be used in part 3 of this series of standards to build up
multicore sheathed cables.
Part 1, General requirements, contains a more extensive introduction to EN 50264, and
should be read in conjunction with this part 2.
- 5 - EN 50264-2:2002
1 Scope
Part 2 of EN 50264 specifies requirements for, and constructions and dimensions of, single
core cables of the following types and voltage ratings:
2 2
- 0,6/1 kV unscreened, unsheathed (1 mm to 400 mm );
2 2
- 1,8/3 kV unscreened, unsheathed (1,5 mm to 400 mm );
2 2
- 1,8/3 kV unscreened, sheathed (1,5 mm to 400 mm );
2 2
- 3,6/6 kV unscreened, sheathed (2,5 mm to 400 mm ).
All cables have class 5 tinned copper conductors to HD 383, halogen-free insulation and,
where applicable, halogen-free sheath. They are for use in railway rolling stock as fixed
wiring, or wiring where limited flexing in operation is encountered. The requirements provide
for a continuous conductor temperature not exceeding 90 °C and a maximum temperature
for short circuit conditions of 200 °C based on a duration of 5 seconds.
Under fire conditions the cables exhibit special performance characteristics in respect of
maximum permissible flame propagation (flame spread) and maximum permissible emission
of smoke and toxic gases. These requirements are specified to permit the cables to satisfy
hazard levels 2, 3 or 4 of EN 45545-1.
NOTE 1 Requirements for the emission of smoke, fumes and gases are not specified for Hazard Level 1 of
EN 45545-1.
NOTE 2 EN 45545-1 is still under development and should be consulted.
Part 2 of EN 50264 should be used in conjunction with part 1 “General requirements”.

3 Definitions
For the purposes of this standard the definitions given in EN 50264-1 apply.
- 7 - EN 50264-2:2002
4 Rated voltage
The rated voltage for single-core insulated cables shall be as follows:
a) unsheathed: 0,6/1 kV; 1,8/3 kV;
b) sheathed: 1,8/3 kV; 3,6/6 kV.
5 Designation, marking and coding
5.1 Code Designation
For the purpose of supplying cables to this standard, the following code designation shall
be used:
EN reference, number of cores and conductor size, identifier for the particular hazard level
(see 5.2)
For example:
EN 50264 1 x 1,5 F
5.2 Code identities for cables suitable for use in particular hazard levels
The following letters shall be used as a code to identify the suitability of a particular cable
for use under one of the Hazard Levels of EN 45545-1, and to indicate performance levels
relating to low temperature and to oil and fuel resistance.
Hazard level EN 45545-1 HL1 HL2 or HL4
HL3
Low temperature/Oil resistance A B C
Extra low temperature/ Oil resistance D E F
Low temperature/ Extra oil and fuel resistance G H J
Extra low temperature/ Extra oil and fuel KL M
resistance
5.3 Marking of cable
Cables shall be marked with the following:
- manufacturer’s name;
- EN reference;
- voltage rating (U );
o
- conductor size;
- identifier for the particular hazard level (see 5.2).
For example:
XYZ EN 50264-2 3 600 V 400 F
The marking shall conform to the requirements of clause 5 of EN 50264-1.
5.4 Core identification
5.4.1 Single core cables
The core insulation of all cables shall be black unless otherwise specified. If a colour other
than black is specified it shall be a colour in accordance with HD 308.
The colour shall be clearly identifiable and durable. Durability shall be checked by the test
given in 10.1 of EN 50305.
Conformity with these requirements shall be verified by visual examination.
5.4.2 Multicore cables
Cores complying with EN 50264-2 may be used as components of multicore cables, e.g. in
EN 50264-3. In such cases, the identification of the individual core in a cable, except the
earthing conductor, shall be by printed number or colour.
The number shall be printed in a colour which contrasts with the core colour.
The marking by numbers shall conform to EN 50334, unless otherwise specified, and
conformity shall be by visual examination and measurement.
5.5 Sheath
The sheath shall be black unless otherwise specified.
6 Construction of cables
6.1 General
The cable shall conform to the applicable general requirements given in EN 50264-1, and to
the specific requirements of this part.
Conformity with the requirements shall be checked by inspection and by the tests given in
