Overview

SIST EN 2713-003:2006 is a European standard developed by CEN for the aerospace industry, specifically detailing requirements for ink jet printable, single and multicore screened (spiral) and jacketed electrical cables. These cables are engineered for general-purpose use within aircraft electrical systems and are operational within a broad temperature range of -55°C to 200°C. The standard ensures the reliability, durability, and traceability of electrical cabling in demanding aerospace environments.

This product standard outlines essential characteristics, construction, marking methods, and references key performance tests. It aligns with the requirements for legible and permanent cable marking, supporting both ink jet and hot stamp methods, and mandates compliance with marking guidelines per EN 3838.

Key Topics

• Scope of Application: Defines cable suitability for fixed and mobile onboard aircraft systems subject to extreme temperature fluctuations.
• Cable Construction: Details materials, such as nickel-plated copper spiral screening and polyimide jackets with fluorocarbon coatings for enhanced performance.
• Types of Cables: Covers both single-core and multicore options (with up to four twisted cores), all with specific expectations for screening and jacketing.
• Marking and Identification:
  • Ink jet printing as primary marking method
  • Hot stamp printing is also permitted
  • Must comply with EN 3838 regarding marking requirements
• Required Characteristics: Includes physical, chemical, electrical, and mechanical property tests, with references to visual inspection, mass, dimensional tolerances, electrical resistance, voltage proof, insulation resistance, thermal endurance, and fire safety.
• Quality Assurance: Adopts extensive testing protocols to ensure consistent performance and safety over the product’s lifecycle.

Applications

SIST EN 2713-003:2006-compliant cables are primarily utilized in the aviation sector but may be applicable to other high-reliability environments requiring robust electrical systems. Typical applications include:

• Onboard Aircraft Electrical Systems: Used for both primary and secondary wiring in commercial, military, and private aircraft.
• Avionics Installations: Suitable for sensitive electronic components requiring shielded cables to prevent electromagnetic interference.
• Harsh Environments: The wide operating temperature range supports use in unpressurized fuselage sections, engine bays, and other demanding zones.
• Traceability and Maintenance: Ink jet and hot stamp markings facilitate rapid identification during installation and field maintenance.

Related Standards

For full compliance and optimal integration in aerospace projects, consider the following associated standards:

• EN 2083: Aerospace series - Copper and copper alloy conductors for electrical cables - Product standard
• EN 2235: Aerospace series - Cables, electrical, single and multicore, screened and jacketed - Technical specification
• EN 2266-003: Aerospace series - Cables, electrical, for general purpose, Part 003: Ink jet printable - Product standard
• EN 2713-002: Aerospace series - Cables, electrical, single and multicore for general purpose, Part 002: Screened and jacketed
• EN 3475-100: Test methods for aircraft electrical cables
• EN 3838: Aerospace requirements and tests on user-applied markings on aircraft electrical cables
• EN 9133: Quality management systems - Qualification procedure for aerospace standard parts

Summary

Adherence to SIST EN 2713-003:2006 ensures that aerospace electrical cables meet stringent safety, performance, and traceability requirements. The standard supports the increased reliability of critical onboard systems and simplifies ongoing maintenance through standardized cable identification. For engineers and suppliers in the aerospace industry, compliance with this and related standards is crucial to meeting regulatory expectations and ensuring operational safety.
