1 General

1.1    Scope

HD 21 applies to rigid and flexible cables with insulation and sheath, if any, based
on thermoplastic materials, of rated voltages U /U up to and including 450/750 V,
o
used in power installations.

NOTE  For some types of flexible cables, the term "cord" is used.

This Part 1 specifies the General Requirements applicable to these cables.

The test methods specified are given in Part 2 of this Harmonisation Document
(HD), or in the common test methods for cables given in EN 50265, EN 50267,
EN 50268 and EN 60811.

The particular types of cables are specified in Part 3 onwards of this HD, which
are hereafter referred to as "the particular specifications".

The code designations of these types of cables are in accordance with HD 361.

1.2 Object

The objects of this HD are to standardise cables and cords that are safe and
reliable when properly used, to state the characteristics and manufacturing
requirements directly or indirectly bearing on safety, and to specify methods for
checking conformity with those requirements.

1.3 Common Marking

 1.3.1 General

The Common Marking () signifies that the manufacturer has been
assessed and his production is subjected to continuing surveillance in
accordance with the technical procedures by a recognised national
Approval Organisation which is a signatory to the "Agreement on the use
of a Commonly Agreed Marking for Cables and Cords complying with
Harmonised Specifications."

Compliance with this HD may be certified by the application of the
1)
agreed technical procedures for granting the Common Marking , which
are the recognised means of ensuring that a manufacturer is competent
and takes all reasonable care to produce cables complying with this HD.

The Common Marking may be used, under these conditions, by
manufacturers in countries which have implemented this HD and in
which the national Approval Organisations are signatories to the
Agreement.

NOTE  See annex B to Part 1 for guidance on national marking.

1)
These are given in Appendices 4 and 5 of the 'Agreement on the use of a Commonly Agreed Marking for Cables and
Cords complying with Harmonised Specifications'.

 1.3.2 Extensible leads

For extensible leads the Common Marking, as defined in paragraph one
of 1.3.1 is shown by a special mark ( COIL or CCCCC)
in association with the indication of origin.

This mark signifies that the coiling process has been carried out in a
controlled manner and that the product will meet the requirements of this
HD. The application of this additional mark also signifies that the
producer of the extensible lead is subject to regular and systematic
surveillance by a signatory to the agreement as a condition for use of that
mark.

2  Definitions

2.1 Definitions relating to insulating and sheathing materials

2.1.1
type of compound
the category in which a compound is placed according to its properties, and
determined by specific tests. The type designation is not directly related to the
composition of the compound

2.1.2
polyvinyl chloride compound (PVC)
combinations of materials, of which polyvinyl chloride is the characteristic
constituent, suitably selected, proportioned and treated which meet the
requirements given in the particular specification


2.2 Definitions relating to the tests

 2.2.1
type tests (Symbol T)
tests required to be made before supplying a type of cable covered by this
standard on a general commercial basis, in order to demonstrate satisfactory
performance characteristics to meet the intended application. These tests are of
such a nature that, after they have been made, they need not be repeated unless
changes are made in the cable materials, design or type of manufacturing
process which might change the performance characteristics

 2.2.2
sample tests (Symbol S)
tests made on samples of completed cable, or components taken from a
completed cable adequate to verify that the finished product meets the design
specifications

 2.2.3
routine tests (Symbol R)
tests made on all production cable lengths to demonstrate their integrity

2.3 Rated voltage

The rated voltage of a cable is the reference voltage for which the cable is
designed, and which serves to define the electrical tests.

0

---------------------- Page: 7 ----------------------

SIST HD 21.1 S4:2003
HD 21.1 S4:2002 - 6 -
The rated voltage is expressed by the combination of two values U /U, expressed
o
in volts:

U being the r.m.s. value between any insulated conductor and "earth" (metal
o
covering of the cable or the surrounding medium);

U being the r.m.s. value between any two phase-conductors of a multicore
cable or of a system of single-core cables.

In an alternating current system, the rated voltage of a cable shall be at least
equal to the nominal voltage of the system for which it is intended.

This condition applies both to the value U and to the value U.
o

In a direct current system, the nominal voltage between conductors shall be not
higher than 1,5 times the rated voltage (U) of the cable, and the nominal voltage
between any conductor and earth shall not be higher than 1,5 times the rated
voltage (U ) of the cable.
o

NOTE  The operating voltage of a system may permanently exceed the nominal voltage of such a
system by 10 %. A cable can be used at a 10 % higher operating voltage than its rated voltage if the
latter is at least equal to the nominal voltage of the system.

3 Marking

3.1 Indication of origin

 3.1.1 General

Cables shall be provided with an identification of origin consisting of
either

1. the manufacturer's identification thread, or,
2. the continuous marking of the manufacturer's name or trademark, or
(if legally protected) identification number, by one of the three
following methods;

a) printed tape within the cable;
b) printing, indenting or embossing on the insulation of at least one
core (the core coloured blue, if any)
c) printing, indenting or embossing on the sheath, if any.

 3.1.2 Extensible leads

For extensible leads an additional mark of indication of origin shall be
applied to identify the coiler. It shall consist of one of the following:

1. an additional embossed mark clearly discernible on the extensible
part regardless of any additional processing such as the moulding on
of a plug;

2. an additional moulded mark subject to the conditions as in 1 above;

3. the addition of a sleeve bearing a clear and indelible marking which
shall remain identifiable during normal use and which shall not be
removed during any further processing;

4. additional printing on the ends of the extensible lead, provided such
marking shall not be obliterated during any subsequent processing
and remains identifiable during normal use.

checked by the test given in 1.8 of Part 2.

3.4 Legibility

All markings shall be legible.

The colours of the identification threads shall be easy to recognise or easily made
recognisable, if necessary by cleaning with petrol or other suitable solvent.

3.5 Common Marking

 3.5.1 General

If the Common Marking () is used, it shall be as specified in the
"Agreement on the use of a Commonly Agreed Marking for Cables and
Cords complying with Harmonised Specifications". It shall consist of
either

1. the common thread as specified and allotted in appendix 2 to the
above mentioned "Agreement", or,

2. a continuous (see 3.2) marking of the symbols specified and allotted
in appendix 1 to the above mentioned "Agreement", by one of the
three methods a), b), c) specified in 3.1.1.

 3.5.2 Extensible leads

If under the terms of the above mentioned 'Agreement' the Common
Marking for extensible leads ( COIL or CCCCC) is used
it shall consist of one of the markings described for extensible leads in
3.1.2 and shall be applied in association with the indication of origin.

3.6     Use of the name CENELEC

The name CENELEC, in full or abbreviated, shall not be marked on, or in, the
cables.

3.7 Code designation

Each cable or cord shall have its full code designation marked continuously (see
3.2) on the sheath or on the insulation of one core. The code designation for each
cable is given in the particular specifications in Part 3 onwards of this HD.

NOTE  The particular specifications in Part 3 onwards of this HD presently specify either no such
marking, or marking of only part of the code designation. The requirement in this 3.7 supersedes that
in the particular specifications, which will be amended in due course.

4 Core identification

4.1 General requirements

Identification of the cores of a cable shall be achieved by the use of coloured
insulation or by a coloured surface.

Each core of a multicore cable shall have only one colour, except the core
identified by a combination of the colours green-and-yellow. In multicore cables,
the colours green and yellow shall not be used separately as single colours.

The colours shall be clearly identifiable and durable. Durability shall be checked
by the test given in 1.8 of Part 2.

4.2 Colour schemes

 4.2.1 Flexible cables

The core colours, and their rotational position, for flexible cables and
cords shall be in accordance with HD 308.

4.2.2 Single core non-sheathed cables

The core colours, which should be a reasonable match to those given in
HD 402, shall be chosen from the following:

a) for cable types rated 300/500 V (H05 types) the following
mono-colours are recognised: black, blue, brown, grey, orange, pink,
red, turquoise, violet, white, green and yellow. Bi-colours of any
combination of the above mono-colours are permitted. The
distribution of the colours for the core bi-coloured green-and-yellow
shall comply with 4.3 of Part 1;

NOTE  The use of green or yellow in some countries may be forbidden or restricted
by national safety or other regulations. In some countries, green is specifically
permitted for decorative chains

b) for cable types rated 450/750 V (H07 types) the following
mono-colours are recognised: black, blue, brown, grey, orange, pink,

SIST HD 21.1 S4:2003
- 9 - HD 21.1 S4:2002
red, turquoise, violet and white. Bi-colours shall not be used except
the combination of the mono-colours green and yellow, the
distribution of the colours of which shall comply with 4.3 of Part 1.

NOTE Other mono-colours are permitted by national standards, pending
CENELEC TC 64 harmonisation of installation rules.

 4.2.3 Multicore sheathed cables for fixed wiring

  The core colours shall be in accordance with HD 308.

4.3 Colour combination green-and-yellow

The distribution of the colours for the core coloured green-and-yellow shall
comply with the following condition: for every 15 mm length of core, one of these
colours shall cover at least 30 % and not more than 70 % of the surface of the
core, the other colour covering the remainder.

NOTE  Information on the use of the colours green-and-yellow and blue.

It is understood that the colours green and yellow, when they are combined as specified above are
recognised exclusively as a means of identification of the core intended for use as earth connection or
similar protection, and that the colour blue is intended for the identification of the core intended to be
connected to neutral. If, however, there is no neutral, blue can be used to identify any core except the
earthing or protective conductor.

4.4 Core identification of flexible cables by the "Marking by inscription"
 method

Where the cores of cables are identified by marking by inscription, this shall be in
accordance with EN 50334.

5 General requirements for the construction of cables
