This Standard specifies construction, dimensions and tests for cables insulated with three types of cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE), two of which have reduced combustion propagation characteristics. The cables are intended for use in electrical installations at working voltages up to and including 0.6/1 KV.Except where otherwise specified in tables of construction and dimensions, cables covered by this Standard are suitable for use as underground cables.This Standard does not apply to specialized XLPE insulated cables for which there are separate Australian, New Zealand or Australian/New Zealand Standards, e.g. concentric wire neutral cables, neutral screened cables, aerial bundled cables and the like.In addition to providing detailed requirements for cables of the types and sizes in the tables of construction and dimensions, this Standard provides the basis of requirements for other types and sizes in the range of materials covered by this Standard.NOTE: Purchasing guidelines are contained in Appendix A.
