EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of IEC EN 60811-2-1 testing. This standard specifies test methods to be used for testing polymeric insulation and coating materials of electrical and optical cables for power distribution and telecommunications, including cables used in ships and offshore applications.
This standard covers ozone resistance test, hot set test and mineral oil immersion test methods applied to elastomeric compounds.
Exact test requirements (test conditions such as temperature, time, etc.) and the results to be obtained are not included in this standard. In principle, they appear in standards specific to each cable type. All values specified for tests in this standard can be changed according to the standard of the relevant cable to meet its specific requirements.
The specified conditioning values and test parameters correspond to the most common types of rigid and flexible wires and cables, as well as insulation and coating mixtures.
This standard mainly describes methods for type testing. For some tests, there are significant differences between the conditions under which type tests are performed and more repetitive tests such as routine tests; These differences are then indicated.
When more than one test result is obtained and sorted in ascending or descending order, the median value is the middle value if the number of available values is odd, and the average of the two middle values if the number is even.
If the conductor does not have an extruded semiconductor, a sample should be wound around a mandrel on a lathe and tied with string or tape at the junction of the ends, without rotating in the direction and plane of its original curvature. The second sample will be rolled in the same way but in the opposite direction of its initial curvature.
