Metode za preskušanje električnih lastnosti nizkonapetostnih energetskih kablov - Dopolnilo A1
EN 50395 vsebuje metode za preskušanje električnih lastnosti, potrebne za preskušanje harmoniziranih nizkonapetostnih energetskih kablov, predvsem tistih z nazivno napetostjo do vključno 450/750 V.
OPOMBA 1: Opis izvora teh preskusnih metod in ozadje tega evropskega standarda sta podana v uvodu in dodatku B.
Standard za določen kabel narekuje, katere preskuse je treba opraviti na ustrezni vrsti kabla.
Opredeljuje tudi, ali je pri neki vrsti kabla določen preskus tipski preskus (T), vzorčni preskus (S) ali rutinski preskus (R).
OPOMBA 2: T, S in R so opredeljeni v standardu za ustrezni kabel.
Zahteve, ki morajo biti izpolnjene med preskusom ali po njem, so opredeljene za določeno vrsto kabla v standardu za ustrezen kabel. Vendar pa so nekatere preskusne zahteve očitne in univerzalne kot dejstvo, da med napetostnimi preskusi ne pride do okvare, in te so navedene v določeni preskusni metodi.
Ta evropski standard ne zajema preskusnih metod, ki se uporabljajo izrecno v priročnih energetskih kablih.
Te so navedene v HD 605.
Za preskusne metode, ki se uporabljajo izrecno v komunikacijskih kablih, je odgovoren Tehnični odbor CENELEC TC 46X, Komunikacijski kabli. Trenutno so te preskusne metode navedene v seriji EN 50289.

Overview
EN 50395:2005/A1:2011 is a European standard developed by CENELEC that specifies electrical test methods for low voltage energy cables. This standard serves as a key technical reference for manufacturers, testing laboratories, and regulatory bodies involved in ensuring the quality, safety, and reliability of low voltage power cables used across various industries.
Dating back to the original 2005 publication with an amendment in 2011, EN 50395/A1 addresses precise test procedures to verify cable performance and durability under electrical stress. It is part of the broader framework of European electrotechnical standards and was prepared by the Technical Committee CENELEC TC 20, specializing in electric cables.
Although the standard was removed from the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU) as a mandatory reference in 2019, it remains a valuable supporting document for compliance and quality assurance in cable manufacturing.
