ISO/TC 20/SC 1/WG 5 - Aircraft electric cables - General requirements

ISO 13832:2013 specifies the dimensions, electrical characteristics and mechanical characteristics of aluminium-based and copper-clad aluminium (CCA) conductors, for lightweight aircraft electrical cables and aerospace applications. It applies to stranded conductors over the nominal cross-sectional area range 0,22 mm2 to 107 mm2 inclusive. It is not applicable to conductors for conventional copper-based cables, fire-resistant cables or for thermocouple extension cables. Conductors for copper-based cables are specified in ISO 2635, for fire-resistant cables are specified in ISO 1967 and for thermocouple extension cables are specified in ISO 8056 1.

Specifies the way in which single-core, multi-core and coaxial cables used in the wiring of aircraft are to be marked as to type, size, origin, date etc. in order to facilitate servicing, the investigation of faults and replacement. Also specifies the approved methods for the marking of cores. Supplements those standards relating to marking that already exist. Allows for the codification of manufacturer's identities by individual countries.
