    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

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