Title

Amend the title to read:

Cables of rated voltages up to and including 450/750 V and having thermoplastic
insulation - Part 2: Test methods

Subclause 1.1

Amend paragraph 1 to read:

HD 21 applies to rigid and flexible cables with insulation and sheath, if any, based on
thermoplastic materials, of rated voltages U /U up to and including 450/750 V used in
o
power installations.

In paragraph 2, line 2:

Delete “HD 405.1 and EN 60811” and insert “the common test methods for cables
given in EN 50265, EN 50267, EN 50268 and EN 60811.”

Subclause 2.2

Delete the second paragraph and insert the following:

“A voltage shall be applied between conductor(s) and groups of conductors in such a
way that the insulation on each core is tested against all adjacent cores. The voltage
shall be increased gradually to the specified value on each occasion.”

Delete the fourth paragraph and insert the following:

A voltage shall be applied between conductor(s) and groups of conductors in such a
way that the insulation on each core is tested against all adjacent cores and the
metallic layer. The voltage shall be increased gradually to the specified value on each
occasion.”

Subclause 2.3

Amend the start of paragraph 3 to read:

In the case of flat non-sheathed cord, and unless otherwise indicated in the particular
specification, a short cut ….

Subclause 2.5

In paragraph 1, at the end of the third sentence, add:

unless specified in the particular specification.

Subclause 2.8

Add new subclause as follows:

2.8 Surface resistance of sheath

When specified in the particular part of HD 21 this test shall be carried out on
cables with sheaths. It shall be carried out on three samples of complete cable,
each about 250 mm in length.

The sheath of each of the samples shall be cleaned with spirit, and two
electrodes consisting of wire helices applied at a distance of (100 ± 2) mm from
each other. For the helices, copper wire of between 0,2 mm and 0,6 mm diameter
shall be used. After the wire has been applied, the surface of the sheath shall
again be thoroughly cleaned between the electrodes.

The samples shall then be conditioned at a temperature of (20 ± 2) °C, and a
relative humidity of (65 ± 5) %, for 24 hours.

Immediately after removal from the conditioning chamber, a d.c. voltage of
between 100 V and 500 V shall
