Heat shrinkable moulded shapes -- Part 2: Methods of test

This part of IEC 62329 gives methods of test for heat-shrinkable moulded shapes in a range of configurations and materials suitable for insulation, environmental sealing, mechanical protection and strain relief for connector/cable terminations and multi-way transitions. The tests specified are designed to control the quality of the moulded shapes but it is recognized that they do not completely establish the suitability of moulded shapes for impregnation or encapsulation processes or other specialized applications. Where necessary, the test methods in this Part will need to be supplemented by appropriate impregnation or compatibility tests to suit the individual circumstances.

Wärmeschrumpfende Formteile -- Teil 2: Prüfverfahren

Gaines thermorétractables -- Partie 2: Méthodes d'essai

La CEI 62329-2:2006 décrit des méthodes d'essai des profilés thermorétractables dans une gamme de configurations et de matériaux adaptés à l'isolement, aux éléments d'étanchéité contre les intempéries, à la protection mécanique et aux dispositifs anti-traction pour connecteurs/extrémités de câbles, et aux transitions à conducteurs multiples. Les essais spécifiés sont prévus pour contrôler la qualité des profilés, mais il est admis qu'ils n'établissent pas totalement l'adéquation des profilés aux processus d'imprégnation ou d'encapsulation ou à d'autres applications spécialisées.

Part 2: Methods of test


FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all
national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international co-
operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in
addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their preparation
is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may
participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising with
the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all interested
IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication
