    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Defines the test methods and requirements of tests for fingerprinting of solvent-free polymerizable, reacting resinous compound intended to be used for electrical insulation and/or mechanical protection in cable accessories covered by EN 50393, HD 629.1 and HD 629.2, for low and medium voltage up to 20,8/36 (42) kV.

    Scope - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    This European Standard specifies the test methods and requirements of tests for fingerprinting (as defined in 3.9) of solvent-free polymerizable, reacting resinous compound intended to be used for electrical insulation and/or mechanical protection in cable accessories covered by EN50393 , HD629.1 and HD629.2 , for low and medium voltage up to 20,8/36 (42) kV. Fingerprinting testing of materials does not have a mandatory link to type testing of accessories. It is regarded as stand-alone tests, but it may be carried out in combination with the accessory type tests. NOTE Information on health and safety is given in AnnexA.
