Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International
Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 14572 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 22, Road vehicles, Subcommittee SC 3, Electrical
and electronic equipment.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 14572:2006), which has been technically revised.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 14572:2011(E)
Road vehicles — Round, sheathed, 60 V and 600 V screened
and unscreened single- or multi-core cables — Test methods
and requirements for basic- and high-performance cables
WARNING — The use of this International Standard may involve hazardous materials, operations, and
equipment. This International Standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any,
associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this International Standard to establish
appropriate safety practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies test methods and requirements for basic- and high-performance round,
single- or multi-core sheathed cables intended for use in road vehicle applications where the nominal system
voltage is ≤ (60 V d.c. or 25 V a.c.). It also specifies additional test methods and/or requirements for 600 V
cables intended for use in road vehicle applications where the nominal system voltage is > (60 V d.c. or
25 V a.c.) and ≤ (600 V d.c. or 600 V a.c.).

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
NOTE Whenever a.c. voltage is specified throughout this International Standard, a.c. rms value shall be used.
3.1
basic-performance (cable)
(cable) meeting basic requirements for general automotive applications
3.2
core
assembly comprising a conductor with its own insulation (and screens if any)
3.3
high-performance (cable)
(cable) meeting all basic requirements plus enhanced mechanical and/or environmental performance (as
defined by the customer)
3.4
screen
conductive material intended to reduce the penetration and/or radiation of a varying electromagnetic field into
an assigned region
3.5
unscreened
without a screen
3.6
60 volt (V) cable
cable intended for use in road vehicle applications where the nominal system voltage is equal to or less than
(60 V d.c. or 25 V a.c.)
3.7
600 volt (V) cable
cable intended for use in road vehicle applications where the nominal system voltage greater than (60 V d.c. or
25 V a.c.) and less than or equal to (600 V d.c. or 600 V a.c.)
3.8
nominal (value)
suitable approximate value used to designate or identify a component
4 General requirements
4.1 Safety concerns
See “Warning” at the beginning of this International Standard.
4.2 Rating of cables
4.2.1 Voltage rating
The voltage rating is established by the rating of the cores. 60 V and 600 V cores shall not be mixed in the
same multi-core cable.
4.2.2 Temperature class rating
The temperature class rating is established by the rating(s) of the cores and sheath. The rating of the cable shall be
equal to the lowest rating of the individual cores and sheath. For details on temperature classes see ISO 6722-1.
4.3 600 volt cables
Special care shall be taken for cables used for voltages above 60 V d.c. to protect them from mechanical stress
to avoid shock hazard.
The 600 V cable sheath shall be visually identified with permanent orange colour.
4.4 Tests
The cables shall be subjected to the tests as specified in Table 1.
