1 General

1.1 Scope

HD 22 applies to rigid and flexible cables, sheathed and unsheathed, and insulated with
cross-linked material, of rated voltages U /U up to and including 450/750V, used in
o
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 Harmonization Document (HD), or
in the common test methods for cables given in EN 50265, EN 50266, 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

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 agreed technical
1)
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 for guidance on national marking.

2 Definitions

2.1 Definitions relating to insulating and sheathing materials and their processing

 2.1.2 vulcanisation
a post-application treatment taking place after the insulation and/or sheath has
been applied in order to induce cross-linking of the rubber or synthetic
elastomer

NOTE  Vulcanisation is an historical term now largely limited to use with the longer-established
materials which did, and in some cases still do, use sulphur as the primary chemical agent of
cross-linking.

 2.1.3 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

 2.1.4 rubber compound

2.1.12 thermoplastic polyurethane compound (TMPU)
a thermoplastic compound based on polyurethane which meets 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

The rated voltage is expressed by the combination of two values U /U, expressed in
o
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 more than 1,5 times the rated voltage (U ) of the
o
cable.

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

 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;

---------------------- Page: 8 ----------------------

SIST HD 22.1 S4:2003
- 7 - HD 22.1 S4:2002
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.

3.2 Continuity of marks

Each specified mark shall be regarded as continuous if the distance between the end of
the mark and the beginning of the next identical mark does not exceed:

 - 550 mm if the marking is on the outer sheath or the covering of the cable;
 - 275 mm if the marking is:

  i) on the insulation of an unsheathed cable;
  ii) on the insulation of a sheathed cable;
  iii) on a tape within a sheathed cable.

NOTE  A 'Specified Mark' is any mandatory mark covered by this Part of the HD or by the particular
requirements of Part 3 onwards of this HD, or the optional common marking ().

The diagram below shows an example of the marking as used on the outer sheath of
the cable.


3.3 Durability

Printed markings shall be durable. Compliance with this requirement shall be 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

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.

SIST HD 22.1 S4:2003
HD 22.1 S4:2002 - 8 -
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, where permitted by the particular specifications in Part 3 onwards of
this HD, 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 of Part 3 onwards of this HD presently specify either no such marking,
or 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 or 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, 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
harmonization of installation rules.

---------------------- Page: 10 ----------------------

SIST HD 22.1 S4:2003
- 9 - HD 22.1 S4:2002
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 at 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.

For special types of cable in this HD (see for instance HD 22.4, clause 6) other means
of identification are permitted.

5 General requirements for the construction of cables

5.1 Conductors

 5.1.1 Material

The conductors shall consist of annealed copper. Unless otherwise specified in
the particular specifications, the wires of conductors may be plain or metal
coated, for example with tin or silver. Coated wires shall be covered with an
