Overview

EN 60811-202:2012/A1:2017 (IEC 60811-202:2012/A1:2017) is a CLC/CENELEC amendment covering the measurement of thickness of non-metallic sheath used on electric and optical fibre cables. This amendment updates Part 202 of the IEC 60811 series - General tests for non‑metallic materials - and clarifies measurement procedure, reporting and handling of indented markings. The document was approved by CENELEC in 2017 and is published in the three official languages (English, French, German).

Key topics and requirements

• Scope: General test method for determining sheath thickness of non‑metallic cable jackets (insulating and sheathing materials).
• Measurement precision: Readings shall be reported in millimetres to two decimal places.
• Indented markings: If the sheath carries an indented marking, the marking must not be included in measurements used to calculate mean thickness. In such cases a different slice shall be taken and measurements made on areas not affected by the marking. The thickness at the position of the indented marking must still comply with the minimum requirement specified in the relevant product standard.
• Measuring procedure and equipment: The amendment revises wording in clauses covering measuring equipment and procedure to improve clarity (e.g., wording changes in clause 4.2 and 4.4).
• Test reporting: The amendment replaces Figure 5 (measurement illustration - e.g., twin sheathed flat cable) and clarifies how to record minimum and mean thickness values in the test report.

Applications

This standard is practical for organisations involved in cable manufacture, testing and quality assurance:

• Cable manufacturers performing in‑process and final quality control of non‑metallic sheaths.
• Independent test laboratories and certification bodies carrying out compliance testing to national and international cable standards.
• Specification writers, procurement teams and standards engineers who need to define minimum sheath thickness and measurement acceptance criteria.
• R&D teams validating new sheath formulations and extrusion processes against standardized measurement methods.

Related standards

• IEC 60811 series (general test methods for non‑metallic materials used in cables)
• EN 60811-202:2012 (base publication amended by A1)
• Relevant product standards that specify minimum sheath thickness and acceptance criteria for specific cable types
