Electric and optical fibre cables - Test methods for non-metallic materials - Part 605 : Physical tests - Measurement of carbon black and/or mineral filler in polyethylene compounds

This Part 605 of IEC 60811 describes the test methods for measuring the content of carbon black added for UV stabilization of polyethylene and polyolefin compounds. These methods are not suitable for halogenated compounds. Method A is suitable only for polyethylene and polypropylene compounds. Method B is suitable for polyolefine compounds.

Câbles électriques et câbles à fibres optiques - Méthodes d'essai pour les matériaux non-métalliques - Partie 605: Essais physiques - Mesure du taux de noir de carbone et/ou des charges minérales dans les mélanges en polyéthylène

La CEI 60811-605:2012 décrit les méthodes d'essai pour la mesure du taux de noir de carbone ajouté pour assurer la résistance aux UV des mélanges à base de polyéthylène et polyoléfine. Ces méthodes ne sont pas adaptées aux mélanges halogénés. La méthode A est applicable uniquement aux mélanges à base de polyéthylène et de polypropylène.
La méthode B est applicable aux mélanges à base de polyoléfine. La CEI 60811-605:2012 annule et remplace les Articles 11 et 12 de la CEI 60811-4-1:2004, qui est supprimée. L'ensemble des informations relatives aux remplacements figure dans l'Annexe A de la CEI 60811-100:2012. Aucune modification technique n'a été effectuée par rapport à l'édition précédente; voir cependant l'avant-propos de la CEI 60811-100:2012.
Cette publication doit être lue conjointement avec la CEI 60811-100:2012.

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
