Specifies the type test requirements on accessories for power cables with extruded insulation and with rated voltages from 1.9/3.3(3.6) kV up to and including 19/33(36) kV, based on IEC 60502-4. Accessories covered are indoor and outdoor terminations, straight joints, branch joints, transition joints and stop-ends, and screened or unscreened plug-in or bolted type separable connectors.

This Standard specifies the requirements for type testing of accessories for power cables with rated voltages from 1.9/3.3 (3.6) kV up to and including 19/33 (36) kV, complying with AS/NZS 1429.1 or IEC 60502-2.The accessories covered by this Standard are listed below:(a) Indoor and outdoor terminations of all designs, including terminal boxes.(b) Straight joints, branch joints, transition joints and stop-ends of all designs, suitable for use underground or in air.(c) Screened or unscreened plug-in type or bolted-type separable connectors.NOTE: Joints connecting cables with extruded insulation to paper-insulated cables are not included. The requirements for these accessories are dealt with in AS/NZS 4805.2.Accessories for particular cables, such as unscreened aerial, submarine or ship cables, are not included.Approval to this Standard is obtained by carrying out the appropriate tests as specified in Clause 3.1. By agreement with the purchaser, accessories which the manufacturer can demonstrate to have provided satisfactory service experience do not need to be type tested.It is not necessary to repeat these tests, once successfully completed, unless changes are made in the materials, design or manufacturing process which might affect the performance characteristics.Test methods are included in IEC 61442.
