Cable management systems - Cable ties for electrical installations (IEC 62275:2018)

This standard specifies requirements for metallic, non-metallic and composite cable ties and their associated fixing devices used for the management and support of wiring systems in electrical installations. Cable ties and associated fixing devices can also be suitable for other applications and where so used, additional requirements can apply. This document does not contain requirements that evaluate any electrical insulation properties of the cable tie or mechanical protection of the cables provided by the cable tie. This document contains requirements for the mechanical interface of an adhesive fixing device to a solid surface. It does not consider the mechanical behaviour of the solid surface in itself. This document does not consider the mechanical interface, for example the mounting screw, of a fixing device other than adhesive to a solid surface.

Sistemi za urejanje pokabljenja - Kabelske vezice za električne inštalacije (IEC 62275:2018)

Ta standard podaja zahteve za kovinske in nekovinske kabelske vezice ter za vezice iz kompozitnih materialov in povezana pritrdila, ki se uporabljajo za urejanje in podporo ožičenja pri električnih inštalacijah. Kabelske vezice in povezana pritrdila so lahko primerna za drugo uporabo, pri čemer je treba za takšno uporabo upoštevati dodatne zahteve. Ta dokument ne vsebuje zahtev za oceno morebitnih električnih izolativnih lastnosti kabelske vezice ali mehanske zaščite kablov, ki jo zagotavlja kabelska vezica. Ta dokument vsebuje zahteve za mehanske vmesnike prilepljenega pritrdila na trdno površino. Ne obravnava mehanskega obnašanja trdne površine kot take. Ta dokument ne obravnava mehanskega vmesnika za pritrdilo, na primer pritrdilnega vijaka, razen lepila za trdno površino.

Annex ZZ
(informative)

Relationship between this European Standard and the safety objectives of
Directive 2014/35/EU [2014 OJ L96] aimed to be covered
This European Standard has been prepared under a Commission’s standardization request relating
to harmonized standards in the field of the Low Voltage Directive, M/511, to provide one voluntary
means of conforming to safety objectives of Directive 2014/35/EU of the European Parliament and of
the Council of 26 February 2014 on the harmonization of the laws of the Member States relating to
the making available on the market of electrical equipment designed for use within certain voltage
limits [2014 OJ L96].
Once this standard is cited in the Official Journal of the European Union under that Directive,
compliance with the normative clauses of this standard given in Table ZZ.1 confers, within the limits
of the scope of this standard, a presumption of conformity with the corresponding safety objectives
of that Directive, and associated EFTA regulations.

CABLE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS –
CABLE TIES FOR ELECTRICAL INSTALLATIONS

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 shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 62275 has been prepared by subcommittee 23A: Cable
management systems, of IEC technical committee 23: Electrical accessories.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2013. This edition
constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
a) consideration of adhesive fixing devices,
b) revised and updated normative references,
c) modified definitions for metallic and composite cable ties,
d) new definitions,
e) improvement of test procedures,
f) new figures for typical arrangement of test assembly for fixing devices and for integral
fixing devices.

FDIS Report on voting
23A/851A/FDIS 23A/868/RVD

Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on
voting indicated in the above table.
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The following differing practices of a less permanent nature exist in the countries indicated
below.
– 6.2.2: additional type classifications are applicable when pre-qualified moulding materials
are used (Canada, USA).
– 6.2.3: additional type classifications are applicable when pre-qualified moulding materials
are used (Canada, USA).
– 7.3: some marking information is required to be placed on the packaging (Canada, Russia,
USA).
In this publication, the following print types are used:
– Requirements proper: in roman type.
– Test specifications: in italic type.
– Notes: in smaller roman type.
The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until
the stability date indicated on the IEC website under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data
related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.
