SIST EN 2591-413:2001 is a Slovene standard from SIST for aerospace electrical and optical connection elements. It specifies a test method for assessing the holding force of a grounding spring system, and it is intended to be used together with EN 2591.

What does SIST EN 2591-413:2001 specify?

SIST EN 2591-413:2001 specifies a method for assessing the holding force of the grounding spring system used in elements of connection. It is a Part 413 document in the Aerospace series, so it is a focused test-method standard rather than a general product standard.

In practice, this matters when you need a repeatable way to check whether the grounding spring system in a connector or similar connection element retains the required holding force. The standard is used with EN 2591, which provides the broader framework for the series.

What are the key requirements of SIST EN 2591-413:2001?

SIST EN 2591-413:2001 centers on one technical task: assessing the holding force of a grounding spring system. That tells a test lab or quality engineer what property to verify and what type of result the method is meant to produce.

The main points of the standard

• Test subject - The standard applies to the grounding spring system used in elements of electrical and optical connection. In practice, the reader knows exactly which part of the connection element is being checked.
• Measured characteristic - The property under assessment is the holding force. This is the practical indicator used to judge whether the spring system performs its retaining function.
• Method-based document - The standard specifies a method of assessment, so it is used as a procedure for testing rather than as a design specification.
• Series use - SIST EN 2591-413:2001 is to be used together with EN 2591. That means the part does not stand alone as a full system standard.
• Aerospace application - The document belongs to the Aerospace series and is classified under aerospace electric equipment and systems. This places it in a sector where consistent connection performance matters in service and qualification testing.

For users, the practical value is that the standard gives a common way to check one defined performance aspect of the grounding spring system. That helps when writing test plans, reviewing supplier evidence, or qualifying connection elements for aerospace use.

What terms does SIST EN 2591-413:2001 define?

Key terms used by SIST EN 2591-413:2001 include:

• Grounding spring system - The spring-based part of the connection element that provides grounding contact and retention function.
• Holding force - The force that keeps the grounding spring system in place during use or testing.
• Elements of electrical and optical connection - The connection components covered by the aerospace series, including electrical and optical connection elements.
• EN 2591 - The companion standard that provides the wider series context for this part.
• Aerospace series - The family of standards intended for aerospace connection-related equipment and methods.

Who uses SIST EN 2591-413:2001?

SIST EN 2591-413:2001 is used by people who need to test or specify grounding spring behavior in aerospace connection elements. Typical users include test laboratories, design engineers, quality managers, and purchasing teams that need a defined acceptance or verification method.

It is relevant in supplier qualification, incoming inspection, product verification, and technical review of connection elements for aerospace electric equipment and systems.

What changed in SIST EN 2591-413:2001 from the previous edition?

SIST EN 2591-413:2001 is identified as identical to EN 2591-413:1998. The document presented here is the Slovene standard corresponding to that EN reference.

Which standards are used with SIST EN 2591-413:2001?

• EN 2591 - The companion standard named with this part; it provides the broader framework within which this test method is used.

What does the SIST EN 2591-413:2001 document contain?

SIST EN 2591-413:2001 contains a focused test method for checking the holding force of a grounding spring system. The document is intended for laboratory or verification use, where a defined procedure is needed to assess one specific performance characteristic.

Because it is a Part 413 document, readers should expect a narrow technical scope rather than a broad connector specification. Its main value is to give a common method for evaluating grounding spring retention in aerospace connection elements.
