Foreword
This amendment to HD 605 S1:1994 has been prepared by WG 9 of CENELEC TC 20 “Electric
Cables”. It is an amalgamation of two separate work items, both aimed at reducing the number
of test methods. These work items cover
• seven so-called "easy-to-harmonise" general test methods,
• the long-duration test.
NOTE 1  This amendment, especially in respect of the long-duration test (see 5.4.15), necessitates corresponding
amendments to HD 620. Each National Committee should ensure that their particular sections of HD 620, and their
national implementations of the HD, have the appropriate amendments to the “Requirements” clause for the long-
duration test. Such amendments should be incorporated into HD 620/A2 under the regular TC 20 maintenance
schedule.
CENELEC TC 20 confirmed at its meeting in Lucerne (May 2000) that the consolidated
amendment should go to the Unique Acceptance Procedure.
NOTE 2  Since the publication of HD 605 S1 (and A1and A2) further changes have been made to other standards to
which cross-reference is made in the original texts.
In particular:
• HD 405.3 has been replaced by EN 50266 (six parts);
• HD 606 has been replaced by EN 50268 (two parts).
In general the updating of these references has not been included in this amendment unless a complete test method
has been introduced or replaced.
The text of the draft was submitted to the Unique Acceptance Procedure and was approved by
CENELEC as amendment A3 to HD 605 S1:1994 on 2001-12-01.
The following dates were fixed:
- latest date by which the existence of the amendment
has to be announced at national level (doa) 2002-06-01
- latest date by which the amendment has to be implemented
at national level by publication of a harmonized
national standard or by endorsement (dop) 2002-12-01
- latest date by which the national standards conflicting
with the amendment have to be withdrawn (dow) 2004-12-01

2.1.4.3 Wires, strips and tapes for armour
Delete the existing text and replace as follows:
(a) round wires
Take at random 10 wires or 10 % of the total number of wires, whichever is the smaller, from a
sample of the completed cable.
Determine the diameter of each wire of this sampling by taking two measurements at right
angles to each other using a micrometer with flat noses to an accuracy of ± 0,01 mm.
Take the average value as the wire diameter.
(b) flat wires or strips
Take at random 10 flat wires or strips or 10 % of the total number of flat wires or strips,
whichever is the smaller, from a sample of the completed cable.
Determine the thickness and width of each flat wire of this sampling by using either a
micrometer with flat noses to an accuracy of ± 0,01 mm or a vernier calliper with flat noses to an
accuracy of ± 0,02 mm.
Take the average value as the wire thickness and wire width.
(c) metallic tapes thickness
Take and straighten a sample of each armour tape, remove the non-metallic coating if any, and
determine the tape thickness at six different places.
The measurement shall be made with either a micrometer or a vernier calliper, both with two flat
noses of approximately 5 mm in diameter, to a respective accuracy of ± 0,01 mm or ± 0,02 mm.
For tapes up to 40 mm in width the thickness shall be measured at the centre of the width. For
wider tapes the measurements shall be made 20 mm from each edge of the tape and the
average of the results taken as the thickness.
Take the smallest value to be compared with the specified thickness with a tolerance given in
the particular specification.

Delete the existing text and replace as follows:
2.1.13.2 Method 1 - Conductor diameter
On a single section conductor piece, suitably tightened at the ends to prevent the wires splitting,
measure the diameter of the circular conductor in accordance with 8.3 of IEC 60811-1-1, by
taking two measurements at right angles to each other with an accuracy of 0,05 mm.
Take the average value as the conductor diameter.
2.1.13.3 Method 2 - Conductor diameter
See 2.1.13.2 .

Delete the existing text and replace as follows:
2.3.1.1 Method 1 - Aluminium and copper components
Take at random 10 % of the total number of wire or strips from one sample of completed cable.
Measure the tensile strength of each wire or strip in accordance with EN 10002-1. Take the
average of all the measurements to be the tensile strength.
The cross-sectional area shall be determined by weighing a test piece approximately 350 mm
long of the component material. The test piece length shall be measured with an accuracy of
± 0,5 mm, and the mass shall be measured with a tolerance of ± 0,02 g. The specified mass
3 3
density shall be taken as 2 700 kg/m for aluminium and 8 900 kg /m for copper.
The distance between two reference marks on the test piece shall be 200 mm and the distance
between the grips of the tensile apparatus shall be approximately 250 mm. The speed of
separation of the grips shall be at least 20 mm/min. The rate of increase of tensile stress shall
2
not exceed 10 N/mm /s.
