This European Standard covers the construction, requirements and particular test methods for
flat, flexible PVC insulated and PVC sheathed cables, of rated voltage U /U 300/500 V, for
o
use in passenger and goods lifts (elevators), and U /U 450/750 V for general purposes and for
o
special applications such as hoists and travelling cranes.

flexible cables for lifts as required by EN 81, and b) flexible cable for applications such as hoists and travelling
cranes, previously found in HD 359. In accordance with this agreement only those cables in Clauses 5 and 6 are

3 Definitions
3.1 Definitions relating to insulating and sheathing materials
3.1.1
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
3.1.2
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
3.2 Definitions relating to the tests
3.2.1
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
3.2.2
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
3.2.3
routine tests (Symbol R)
tests made on all production cable lengths to demonstrate their integrity
3.3
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
The rated voltage is expressed by the combination of two values U /U, expressed in volts:
o
U being the r.m.s. value between any insulated conductor and "earth" (metal covering of the
o
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.
