scope:

This standard specifies performance requirements for type tests for cable accessories for use on cables of rated voltage 0,6/1,0 (1,2)kV as defined in HD 603. Formerly, approvals for such products have been achieved on the basis of national standards and specifications and/or the demonstration of satisfactory service performance. The publication of this CENELEC standard does not invalidate existing approvals. However, products approved to such earlier standards or specifications shall not claim approval to this CENELEC standard unless specifically tested to it. After they have been made, these tests need not to be repeated unless changes are made in the cable accessory material, design or manufacturing process which might affect the performance characteristics. Joints, stop ends and outdoor terminations for extruded solid dielectric insulated cables and transition joints between extruded solid dielectric insulated and impregnated paper insulated cables are included. Joints, stop ends and outdoor terminations for impregnated paper insulated cables are not included.
