Specifies the test methods for testing polymeric insulating and sheathing materials of electric cables for telecommunications and power distribution including cables used on ships. Gives the methods for measuring the overall dimensions and the thickness and for determining the mechanical properties, which apply to the most common types of sheathing and insulating compounds (elastomeric, PE, PVC, PP etc). Coverage includes test values, applicability, type tests and other tests, pre-conditioning, and test temperature.
