Specifies requirements and dimensions for non armoured polyvinyl chloride (PVC) insulated cables for fixed installation and for operation at voltages up to and including 450 V to earth and 750 V a.c. between conductors. Coverage includes: voltage designation, conductors, insulation, core identification, sheath, marking, electrical requirements, and fillers and extruded inner covering. Also gives definitions,tables, diagrams and annexes.
