94 CABLE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS –
95 CABLE TIES FOR ELECTRICAL INSTALLATIONS
97 FOREWORD

98 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising

99 all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote

100 international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To

101 this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,

102 Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as "IEC

103 Publication(s)"). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested

104 in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-

105 governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely

106 with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by

107 agreement between the two organizations.

108 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international

109 consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all

110 interested IEC National Committees.

111 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National

112 Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC

113 Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any

114 misinterpretation by any end user.

115 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications

116 transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence

117 between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in

118 the latter.

119 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity

120 assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any

121 services carried out by independent certification bodies.

122 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.

123 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and

124 members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or

125 other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and

126 expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC

127 Publications.

128 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is

129 indispensable for the correct application of this publication.

130 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of

131 patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

132 International Standard IEC 62275 has been prepared by subcommittee 23A: Cable

133 management systems, of IEC technical committee 23: Electrical accessories.

134 This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition published in 2018. This edition

135 constitutes a technical revision.

276 4 General requirements

277 A cable tie and a fixing device shall withstand the stresses likely to occur during recom-

278 mended installation practice and perform under the conditions of classifications in Clause 6 as

279 declared by the manufacturer.
280 Compliance is checked by carrying out all the appropriate specified tests.

281 NOTE Annex A details the compliance checks to be carried out for cable ties and fixing devices currently

282 complying with IEC 62275:2013 in order to comply with this edition 4.
283 5 General notes on tests

284 5.1 Tests according to this document are type tests. Unless otherwise specified, tests are

285 carried out with the cable ties and their associated fixing devices, where available, installed

286 as in normal use according to the manufacturer's instructions.

287 Unless otherwise specified, requirements and tests for fixing devices also apply to adhesive

288 fixing devices.

289 NOTE For guidance in determining product types and sample sets, a family of cable ties or fixing devices having

290 material, construction characteristics, and classifications according to Clause 6, in common, are considered of the

291 same product type. Examples for consideration are identical generic material description, material colours, or

292 variable lengths of a cable tie of otherwise similar construction. The sample sets selected for testing from each

293 product type is representative of the extremes of the range (example: shortest and longest), and the minimum

294 performance level obtained for either extreme is determined to be representative of the entire range. Consideration

295 is given to minor construction variations that can be determined by inspection to have no effect on performance,

296 when determining product types.

297 5.2 Unless otherwise specified, tests on non-metallic and composite components shall

298 commence when the samples have been removed from their packaging and then stabilized at

299 a temperature of (23  5) °C and at a relative humidity of (50  5) %, for a period as indicated

300 in Table 1.

301 NOTE This stabilization intends to achieve equilibrium of moisture content for all samples before and after further

302 conditioning and testing.

311 5.3 Unless otherwise specified, the tests shall be carried out at an ambient temperature of

312 (23  5) °C and with a relative humidity of between 40 % and 60 %.

313 5.4 Unless otherwise specified, three new samples are submitted to the tests and the

314 requirements are satisfied if all the tests are met. If only one of the samples does not satisfy a

315 test owing to an assembly or manufacturing fault, that test and any preceding one which may

316 have influenced the results of the test shall be repeated. The tests that follow shall be carried

317 out in the required sequence on another full set of samples, all of which shall comply with the

318 requirements.

319 NOTE The applicant, when submitting the first set of samples, can also submit an additional set of samples which

320 may be necessary if one sample fails. The test station will then without further request test the additional set of

321 samples and will reject only if a further failure occurs. If the additional set of samples is not submitted at the same

322 time, a failure of one sample will entail a rejection.

323 5.5 When toxic or hazardous processes are used, due regard shall be taken of the safety of

324 persons within the test area.

325 5.6 Unless otherwise specified, the cross-head speed of a tensile machine used during the

326 tests shall be (25  2,5) mm/min. Dead weights can be used for conducting loop tensile

327 strength tests for cable ties and integral devices classified according to 6.2.3, provided that

328 no sudden application of force occurs.

329 5.7 Where required for heat ageing, a full draft circulating-air oven as specified in

330 IEC 60216-4-1:2006 shall be used. A portion of the air shall be allowed to re-circulate and a

331 substantial amount of air shall be admitted continuously to maintain the normal air content

332 surrounding the samples. The oven shall be adjusted to achieve more than five complete

333 fresh-air changes per hour.
