Gives the requirements for construction and performance and describes test methods for armoured cable with thermosetting insulation and of rated voltage 600/1000 V. Intended for use in fixed installations in industrial areas, buildings and similar applications, where maintenance of power supply during a fire is needed for a defined period.
