Describes the required characteristics and test procedures for fire resistant or fireproof electrical cables for use in aircraft electrical systems.

This European Standard specifies the required characteristics and test procedures for fire resistant or fire-proof electrical cables for use in aircraft electrical systems. These cables should also maintain a specific surface resistance when they are subjected to a flame of 1 100 °C after 5 minutes (fire resistant) or 15 minutes (fire-proof) exposure. They should be rated at an a.c. voltage of 600 V r.m.s., a frequency of maximum 2 000 Hz and a long term temperature of up to 260 °C (ambient temperature plus temperature rise in conductor).
