    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    This European Standard provides guidance to help installers, cabling designers and end users to understand the characteristics of electric cables with a rated voltage not exceeding 450/750 V (U0/U) or equivalent d.c. voltages, so that the cable can be selected, installed and operated in a safe way. It is applicable to those cable types that are specified in EN 50525 (all parts).
