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.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
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. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.

This fourth edition of ISO 6722-2 cancels and replaces ISO 6722:2006.
ISO 6722 consists of the following parts, under the general title Road vehicles — 60 V and 600 V single-
core cables:
— Part 1: Dimensions, test methods and requirements for copper conductor cables
— Part 2: Dimensions, test methods and requirements for aluminium conductor cables

Introduction
ISO 6722 deals with single-core cables, with copper conductor cables covered in ISO 6722-1 and
aluminium conductor cables covered in this part of ISO 6722. The performance of aluminium conductor
cables is, in general, not to be expected to be the same as the performance of copper conductor cables in
a one-to-one comparison basis.

1 Scope
This part of ISO 6722 specifies the dimensions, test methods, and requirements for single-core 60 V
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 from > 60 V d.c. or 25 V a.c. to ≤ 600 V
d.c. or 600 V a.c. It also applies to individual cores in multi-core cables.
This part of ISO 6722 specifies requirements for aluminium conductor cables.
