scope:

This standard establishes test methods for insulated single conductor electric wires made with tin-coated, silver-coated or nickelcoated conductors of copper or copper alloy.

The test methods are designated by numbers assigned in accordance with the following system.

The tests are divided into classes as shown below:

1001 - 1999 - Environmental tests 2001 - 2999 - Mechanical tests 3001 - 3999 - Electrical tests 4001 - 4999 - Thermal tests 5001 - 5999 - Visual and physical conductor tests 6001 - 6999 - Visual and physical finished wire tests 7001 - 7999 - Special tests

Revisions are identified by a decimal point and a number added to the basic method number. For example, if the wrap test is initially 2002, the first revision will be numbered 2002.1; 2002.2 will indicate the second revision issued. Subsequent revisions will be numbered consecutively.

When applicable, test methods herein shall be referenced in the individual specification by specifying this standard, the method number, and the details required in the summary paragraph of the applicable method. To avoid revising specifications that refer to this standard, the decimal number shall not be used when referencing test methods of this standard. For example, use 2002 not 2002.1.

intended Use:

This standard contains requirements for the development of test methods for insulated electric wire.
