scope:

Commented versions are a valuable improvement upon the conventional IEC Redline Version (RLV). These versions are designed to facilitate a clearer understanding of the revisions made between the prior and current editions of a publication. This enhanced product package incorporates both the most recent edition of the document and the annotated redline version. This combined offering provides users with an easily accessible means to track and comprehend the alterations and additions that have been made, thereby enhancing the utility and effectiveness of the publication for its intended audience.

This document specifies requirements for metallic, non-metallic and composite cable ties and their associated fixing devices as a means used for managing or securing the wiring systems in electrical installations. Cable ties and associated fixing devices can also be suitable for other applications, such as support of wiring systems, and where so used, additional requirements can apply.

This document does not contain requirements that evaluate any electrical insulation properties of the cable tie or mechanical protection of the cables provided by the cable tie. This document contains requirements for the mechanical interface of an adhesive fixing device to a solid surface. It does not consider the mechanical behaviour of the solid surface in itself.

This document does not consider the mechanical interface, for example the mounting screw, of a fixing device other than adhesive to a solid surface.
