    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    This amendment consists of a modification to Subclauses 6.4 and 6.5 to cover the testing of non circular cables and to improve the repeatability and reproducibility of testing of bundles (for cables with a diameter less than or equal to 5,0 mm) and some further improvements based on wider operating experience.
