Introduction
This revision of EN 50143 is made at the request of the European Sign Federation (ESF). It supports
EN 50107.
By comparison with EN 50143:1997 the number of cable types has been rationalised. One new type (type L)
has been introduced, and four types (types A, C1, D1 and H) withdrawn.
The object of the European Standard remains unchanged, namely:
- to standardise cables and cords that are safe and reliable when properly used in relation to the technical
requirements of the installation of which they form a part;
- to state the characteristics and manufacturing requirements directly or indirectly bearing on safety; and
- to specify methods for checking conformity with those requirements.
1 Scope
EN 50143 applies to single core cables of rated voltages up to and including 5/10 kV (U /U) used with electric
o
signs and high-voltage luminous-discharge-tube installations. These cables are for use in installations
complying with EN 50107.
The particular types of cables are specified in Clauses 7 to 10 of this standard.
