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 second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2006 and constitutes a
technical revision. It incorporates additional tables, an annex and figures as well as revisions
to such that appeared in the first edition. In places the text has been substantially altered
including:
– revised and updated normative references,
– integral cable ties and fixing devices,
– change in the range of the diameter of the test mandrel,
– general notes on tests,
– mechanical properties and associated tests as well as tests for resistance to ultraviolet
light and corrosion.

CABLE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS –
CABLE TIES FOR ELECTRICAL INSTALLATIONS
1 Scope
This International 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 may also be suitable for other applications and
where so used, regard should be taken of any additional requirements.
This standard 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 standard does not consider the mechanical interface of a fixing device to a solid surface
such as a wall or ceiling.

5 General notes on tests
5.1 Tests according to this standard are type tests. Unless otherwise specified, tests are
carried out with the cable ties and their associated fixing devices, where available, installed
as in normal use according to the manufacturer's instructions.
NOTE For guidance in determining product types and sample sets, a family of cable ties or fixing devices having
material, construction characteristics, and classifications according to Clause 6, in common, are considered of the
same product type. Examples for consideration are material colours, or variable lengths of a cable tie of otherwise
similar construction.
The sample sets selected for testing from each product type is representative of the extremes of the range
(example: shortest and longest), and the minimum performance level obtained for either extreme is determined to
be representative of the entire range.
Consideration is given to minor construction variations that can be determined by inspection to have no effect on
performance, when determining product types.
5.2 Unless otherwise specified, tests on non-metallic and composite components shall
commence when the samples have been removed from their packaging and then stabilised at
a temperature of (23 ± 5) °C and at a relative humidity of (50 ± 5) %, for a period as indicated
in Table 1.
NOTE This stabilisation intends to achieve equilibrium of moisture content for all samples before and after further
conditioning and testing.

All thicknesses of materials known to
2 ± 1/3
have low hygroscopic characteristics
The reference thickness of a cable tie is measured at the midpoint of the strap. The reference
thickness of a fixing device shall be the smallest cross section in the area that interfaces with
the cable tie or as declared by the manufacturer. See Figure 1.
When the equilibrium moisture content for a material at (23 ± 5) °C and (50 ± 5) % relative
humidity is determined through a method agreed to by the manufacturer and the testing
laboratory, the stabilisation time in Table 1 may be reduced when all of the following
conditions are met:
a) the product’s moisture content in the as-received condition and after each appropriate
conditioning is measured using a calibrated moisture analyzer device;
b) the samples are subjected to exposure to a constant temperature not exceeding 50 °C and
a relative humidity not exceeding 80 %; and
c) the product’s equilibrium moisture content at (23 ± 5) °C and (50 ± 5) % relative humidity
is verified using a calibrated moisture analyzer device.
