    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Specifies the test method to be used for testing polymeric insulating and sheathing materials of electric cables for telecommunications and power distribution including cables used on ships. Gives methods for tests at low temperature which apply to PE and PVC compounds. Coverage includes test values, applicability, type tests and other tests, pre-conditioning, and test temperature.
