scope:

These standards apply to materials, construction, and testing of insulated cables used for the utilization of electrical energy in surface and underground mines and similar applications. Included are portable cables for use in mining machines, dredges, shovels and similar equipment, and mine power cables for use as connections between units of mine distribution systems, and remote control and drill cords for mining and similar applications.
