scope:

This HD collates and specifies the test methods to be used for testing polymeric insulated and sheathed electic cables, of rated voltage up to and including 0,6/1kV, intended for public distribution systems, and for use in power generating plants and sub-stations. Test methods in this HD are additional to those already harmonised, e.g. HD 405 and HD 505, and are used for testing cable types specified in HD 603 and 604. In each case specific, these HDs give complementary information needed for the pratical application to each specific type.
