Applies to rigid and flexible cables with insulation, and sheath if any, based on vulcanized rubber of rated voltages U_o/U up to and including 450/750 V used in power installations of nominal voltage not exceeding 450/750 V a.c. The particular types of cables are specified in IEC 60245-3, IEC 60245-4, etc. The code designations of these types of cables are given in Annex A. The principal change with respect to the previous edition is the replacement of insulation IE 1 with IE 4.
