Electric cables marked with CENELEC codes H07V2-U - ו H07V2-R, H07V2-K (HS code(s): 854420; 854430); (ICS code(s): 29.060.20)

SI 50525 part 2.31 - Electric cables – Low voltage energy cables of rated voltage 450/750 V (U0/U): Cables for general applications – Single core non-sheathed heat resistant cables with thermoplastic PVC insulation; (6 page(s), in Hebrew), (14 page(s), in English)

Revision of the Mandatory Standard SI 60227 part 3 to be partially replaced with SI 50525 part 2.31, relating only to products with the following characteristics: electric cables marked with CENELEC codes H07V2-U, H07V2-R and H07V2-K with a single core, non-sheathed, with thermoplastic PVC insulation that are intended for permanent fixed wiring :

·        The rated voltage is 450/750 V in an alternating current;

·        The maximum conductor operating temperature for the cables in this standard is 90 °C

·        The conductor shall be in one of the following forms:

o   Flexible cable conductor for permanent installations (for sign -K);

o   Fixed, round, braided conductor (for sign -R);

o   Fixed, round, solid (for sign -U).

This proposed standard revision adopts the European Standard EN 50525-2-31: May 2011, with a few changes that appear in the standard's Hebrew section.

The major change introduced in this revision is the transference of electric cables marked with CENELEC codes H07V2-U, H07V2-R and H07V2-K from SI 60227 part 3 to SI 50525 part 2.31.

Both the old and the new revised standards will apply from entry into force of this revision for a transition period of one year. During this time, products may be tested according to the requirements of the old or the new revised standard.
