This Standard specifies requirements for metal drums for the transport and storage of insulated electric cables, bare conductors or other products for which the drums are suitable. Drums manufactured to this Standard shall be suitable for repeated use. The Standard does not cover collapsible drums or drums designed for stacking, except that drums with I-section flanges and not exceeding the standard drum capacity mass stated in Table 1 shall be capable of being stacked two high during storage.The Standard includes nomenclature and dimensions of a preferred range of drums, together with details of materials, construction and marking requirements, and special requirements for the protection of cables.NOTES:1 For the purpose of this Standard, the term 'cable' applies to any product which may be wound on the specified drums.2 Dependent upon cable type, transportation, single use and installation conditions, drums of lighter or more robust construction or differing design may be required. Such drums are not included in the scope of this Standard.3 Timber drums for cables are covered by AS 2857.
