Specifies the test methods to be used for testing polymeric insulating and sheathing materials of electric cables for telecommunications and power distribution including cables on ships. Gives methods for measurement of the resistance to environmental stress cracking, for wrapping test after thermal ageing in air, for measurement of melt flow index and for measurement of carbon black and/or mineral filler content, which apply to PP and PE compounds, including cellular compounds and foam skin for insulation.
