Electric cables - Guide to use for cables with a rated voltage not exceeding 450/750 V (U0/U) - Part 2: Specific guidance related to EN 50525 cable types

This European Standard provides guidance to help installers, cabling designers and end users to understand the characteristics of electric cables, with a rated voltage not exceeding 450/750 V (U0/U) or equivalent d.c. voltages, so that the cable can be selected, installed and operated in a safe way. It is applicable to those cable types that are specified in EN 50525 (all parts).

Standard EN 50565-2 podaja smernice, ki so inštalaterjem, načrtovalcem kablov in končnim uporabnikom v pomoč pri razumevanju značilnosti električnih kablov z nazivno napetostjo, manjšo od 450/750 V (U0/U) ali enakovredno enosmerno napetostjo, zato da lahko kabel izberejo ter varno namestijo in upravljajo. Uporablja se za vrste kablov, določene v standardu EN 50525 (vsi deli).

This document (EN 50565-2:2014) has been prepared by CLC/TC 20 "Electric cables".
The following dates are fixed:

This document together with Part 1 supersedes HD 516 S2:1997.
EN 50565-1:2014 and EN 50565-2:2014 includes the following significant technical changes with respect
to HD 516 S2:1997:
Both parts of EN 50565 refer to cable types specified in EN 50525, replacing the reference to the
HD21 and HD22 cable types. Part 1 provides general recommendations and guidance, Part 2
covers specific guidance for each cable type in EN 50525, like designation, constructional
details, recommendations for installation, conditions and limits of operation, temperature limits
and recommended use/suitability. This standard covers the Principle Elements of the Safety
Objectives for Electrical Equipment Designed for Use within Certain Voltage Limits (LVD -
2006/95/EC).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the
subject of patent rights. CENELEC [and/or CEN] shall not be held responsible for identifying any
or all such patent rights.

Introduction
This European Standard provides guidance for equipment manufacturers, installers and end-
users on the properties of low voltage electric cables, and the limitations that are deemed to be
necessary in order to safeguard life, buildings, and goods. It also gives a reasonable certainty on
cable life time expectation relevant to its application, i.e. the duration of acceptable performance
considered as reasonable for a cable used in a fixed installation for the distribution of electricity
in a building is more than that for flexible cable.
The information is given in the form of limiting values and is illustrated by examples, which are
not exhaustive but which indicate ways by which safety can be obtained.
It is not possible to cover all the uses for which the installers or users may wish to use a specific
type of cable. The use other than the recommended ones could result in a lowering of safety
and/or in a reduction in the expected life of the cable. If a cable is intended to be used outside of
the recommended uses, the cable manufacturer should be consulted for advice.
This European Standard is to be read in conjunction with EN 50565-1:2014, wh
