“Power, data and control cables must comply with strict international regulations that ensure their performance in terms of safety, reliability and resistance. These regulations set the standards for design, manufacturing, testing and installation, covering aspects such as conductivity, durability and resistance to environmental conditions.”
TOP CABLE complies with all international standards.
Power, data and control cables undergo rigorous testing and certification processes to ensure maximum reliability and safety of the installation. These cables must comply with international electrical cable regulations, which provide a set of requirements, recommendations and procedures for the design, manufacturing, testing and installation of cables, such as their electrical conductivity, mechanical strength or resistance to environmental factors. The most common international regulations on electrical cables are the following.
IEC | INTERNATIONAL ELECTROTECHNICAL COMMISION | MOST COMMON ELECTRICAL CABLE REGULATIONS
The International Electromechanical Commission (IEC) regulations stand out as the global reference for the manufacture and use of cables. Some of the most common IEC electrical cable standards are:
IEC 60092Electrical installations on ships.IEC 60228Insulated cable conductors – Guide to dimensional limits for circular connectors.IEC 60331Fire testing of electrical cables. IEC 60332-1Testing of electric cables and optical fibres in case of fire – Vertical flame spread test for a single insulated wire or cable. IEC 60332-3Testing of electric cables in case of fire – Vertical flame spread test for bundled wires or cables mounted vertically. IEC 60502-1Electric cables with extruded insulation and their accessories for rated voltages from 1 kV (Um = 1,2 kV) to 30 kV (Um = 36 kV) – Part 1: Cables for rated voltages from 1 kV (Um = 1,2 kV) to 3 kV (Um = 3,6 kV) IEC 60754-1 Method for determining the quantity of halogenated acid gas evolved during the combustion of polymeric materials taken from cables. IEC 60754-2Determination of the degree of Acidity (corrosiveness) of gases by measuring pH and conductivity.IEC 60793-1Optical fibres.IEC 60794-1Optical fibre cables.IEC 61034-2Measurement of smoke density from electrical cables burning under defined conditions (LT).
