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.
/ ( ) expressed in kV.
The rated voltage is expressed by the combination of the following values U U U
o m
is the rms. value between any insulated conductor and earth (metal covering of the cable or the
U
o
surrounding medium);  = 0,6 kV
U
o
is the rms. value between any two phase-conductors of a multicore cable or of a system of single-core
U
cables;  = 1,0 kV
U
is the maximum rms. value of the highest system voltage for which the equipment may be used;
U
m
= 1,2 kV.
U
m
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.
If used in d.c. Systems, the cables of this HD shall have a maximum voltage against earth not exceeding 1,8 kV.
3 Marking
3.1 Indication of origin
Cables shall be provided with an identification of origin consisting of:
a) either the manufacturer's identification thread
b) or the continuous marking of the manufacturer's name or trademark, or (if legally protected)
identification number by one of the three following alternative methods:
a) printed tape within the cable,
b) printing in a contrasting colour on the insulation of at least one core,
c) printing, indenting or embossing on the outer surface of the cable.
3.1.1 Continuity of marks
Unless otherwise specified in the particular sections, 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 surface of the cable,

275 mm if the marking is:

1) on the insulation of a sheathed cable,
2) 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.

Page 1-7
HD 603 S1:1994/A2:2003
Part 1

The diagram below shows an example of the marking as used on the outer surface of the cable, where the
word ‘ORIGIN’ is for the mandatory information required by Subclause 3.1, and ‘XYZ’ is one of any other
mandatory marks.


3.2 Additional marking
Additional marking requirements may be specified in the particular sections.
3.3 Durability
Printed markings shall be durable. Compliance with this requirement shall be checked by the test specified in
Subclause 2.5.4 of HD 605.
The printed legend shall be legible after carrying out the test.
3.4 Legibility
All markings shall be legible. Printed markings shall be in contrasting colours.
All colours of the identification threads shall be easy to recognise or easily be made recognisable, if
necessary, by cleaning with a suitable solvent.
3.5 Common marking
Under consideration
3.6 Use of the name CENELEC
The name CENELEC, in full or abbreviated, shall not be marked directly on or in the cables.
4 Core identification
The cores shall be identified by colours or numbers, as specified in the particular sections. Colouring shall be
achieved by the use of coloured insulation or by a coloured surface. Each core shall have only one colour
except the core identified by a combination of the colours green and yellow. The colours green and yellow
shall not be used separately as single colours.
If there is more than one black or brown coloured core, one of them may be marked with a white line. The
white line must be at least 0,5 mm wide, but must not cover more than 5 % of the surface of the core.
The colour or numbering schemes relevant to the various types of cables are specified in the particular
sections of this HD.
When identification is made by numbers, they shall be printed in a colour which contrasts with the core
colour. Marking shall comply with EN 50334 unless otherwise specified.
The colours or numbers shall be clearly identifiable and durable. Durability shall be checked by the test
specified in Subclause 2.5.4 of HD 605.

The material used for fillers and binder tapes, if any, shall be suitable for the maximum conductor
temperature in normal operation of the cable and compatible with the cable components with which they are
in contact. The requirements and the reference to the test method are specified in the particular sections.
5.4.2 Application
Where fillers are used these may be applied either separately or as a part of the inner covering or the
innersheath to form a compact and reasonably circular cable. It shall be possible to strip the fillers, if any,
from the cable without damaging the insulation of cores.
5.5 Inner covering (bedding)
The inner covering, if any, may be extruded or lapped, or a combination of the two.
5.5.1 Material
The material used for inner coverings, if any, shall be suitable for the maximum conductor temperature in
normal operation of the cable and compatible with the cable components with which it is in contact. The
requirements and the reference to the test method are specified in the particular sections.
5.5.2 Application
The extruded inner covering shall surround the core assembly completely and may penetrate the spaces
between them, giving the assembly a reasonably circular shape. The extruded inner covering shall be easily
separable from the cores.
