IEC 60684-3-216: 2019 gives the requirements for four types of heat-shrinkable, flame-retarded, limited-fire-hazard sleeving with a thermal endurance rating of 105 °C as shown below. Class A: thin wall shrink ratio 2:1 internal diameter up to 102,0 mm Class B: medium wall shrink ratio 2:1 internal diameter up to 60,0 mm Class C: thick wall shrink ratio 2:1 internal diameter up to 51,0 mm Class D: medium wall shrink ratio 3:1 internal diameter up to 40,0 mm These sleevings are normally supplied in the following colours: black, red, green, blue, white, yellow and green/yellow. Sizes or colours other than those listed in this document are available as custom items. These items are considered to comply with this document if they comply with the property requirements listed in Tables 5, 6, 7 and 8, excluding dimensions and mass. Materials which conform to this specification meet established levels of performance. However, the selection of a material by a user for a specific application will be based on the actual requirements necessary for adequate performance in that application and not based on this specification alone. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2001, Amendment 1:2005 and Amendment 2:2013. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: 1. the temperature at which the sleeving is shrunk in a forced-air circulation oven for (5 ± 1) min has been increased from (150 ± 5) °C to (200 ± 5) °C.

Les matériaux qui sont conformes à la présente spécification satisfont à des niveaux de performances établis. Cependant, le choix d’un matériau par un utilisateur, pour une application spécifique, est fondé sur les exigences réelles nécessaires pour obtenir des performances adéquates pour l'application concernée, et n'est pas fondé sur cette seule spécification. Cette deuxième édition annule et remplace la première édition parue en 2001, l'Amendement 1:2005 et l'Amendement 2:2013. Cette édition constitue une révision technique. Cette édition inclut la modification technique majeure suivante par rapport à l'édition précédente: 1. la température à laquelle les gaines sont rétreintes dans une étuve à circulation d’air forcée pendant (5 ± 1) min a été augmentée de (150 ± 5) °C à (200 ± 5) °C.

Overview

EN IEC 60684-3-216:2019 (CLC adoption of IEC 60684-3-216:2019) specifies requirements for heat-shrinkable, flame‑retarded, limited‑fire‑hazard sleeving used as flexible insulating sleeving for electrical purposes. This second edition is a technical revision (replacing the 2001 edition and subsequent amendments) and is available as an RLV (Redline Version) showing changes from the previous edition. Materials covered have a thermal endurance rating of 105 °C and are intended to meet established performance levels for electrical insulation and fire-limited applications.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Sleeving classes and shrink ratios
  • Class A: thin wall, 2:1 shrink ratio, recovered ID up to 102.0 mm
  • Class B: medium wall, 2:1 shrink ratio, recovered ID up to 60.0 mm
  • Class C: thick wall, 2:1 shrink ratio, recovered ID up to 51.0 mm
  • Class D: medium wall, 3:1 shrink ratio, recovered ID up to 40.0 mm
• Thermal and processing requirement
  • Pre-test shrink: forced‑air circulation oven for (5 ± 1) min at (200 ± 5) °C (updated from 150 °C in prior edition).
• Colours and sizing
  • Typical colours: black, red, green, blue, white, yellow, green/yellow. Custom sizes/colours permitted; compliance is based on property requirements (see below) excluding dimensions and mass.
• Standards structure and tests
  • Conformance relies on properties enumerated in Tables 5–8 (mechanical, thermal, electrical, fluid resistance and breakdown voltage requirements) and dimensional/mass tables for Classes A–D.
  • Designation format example: Sleeving - IEC 60684 – 3 – 216 – A – 12,7/6,4 – GN
• Notes on selection
  • Compliance indicates established performance, but material selection must be driven by the specific application’s requirements (environment, mechanical stress, electrical rating, fire-safety needs).

Applications and users

• Typical applications include protection and insulation of electrical conductors, cable harnesses, terminations and component coverings where limited fire hazard is required.
• Primary users:
  • Electrical/electronic designers and OEMs
  • Cable and harness manufacturers
  • Procurement and quality managers specifying materials to standards
  • Test laboratories and conformity assessment bodies
  • Installers and maintenance engineers in sectors requiring fire-limited sleeving (industrial, transport, energy, consumer electronics)

Related standards

• IEC 60684-1: Definitions and general requirements
• IEC 60684-2: Methods of test
• IEC 60757: Code for designation of colours
• ISO 846: Evaluation of the action of microorganisms
• ISO 1817: Determination of effect of liquids

EN IEC 60684-3-216:2019 is harmonized for use in Europe (CLC/CENELEC) and should be used together with Part 1 and Part 2 of IEC 60684 when specifying or testing heat‑shrinkable, flame‑retarded sleeving for electrical purposes.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 60684-3-216 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 15:
Solid electrical insulating materials.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2001,
Amendment 1:2005 and Amendment 2:2013. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
a) the temperature at which the sleeving is shrunk in a forced-air circulation oven for
(5 ± 1) min has been increased from (150 ± 5) °C to (200 ± 5) °C.
