BS 6469 specifies the test methods to be used for testing polymeric insulating and sheathing materials of electric cables.

This Section of BS 6469 gives methods for electrical tests not included in the CENELEC Harmonization Document HD 505, and hence not given in BS 6349-1 to BS 6349-5.

The methods of test described in this Section of BS 6469 are as follows:

  1. a test for insulation resistance constant (K value);
  2. a test for power factor and permittivity;
  3. a capacitance test for water absorption of insulation.

NOTE The titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover.
