BS EN 60811-1-3:1995 is a European standard that specifies test methods for determining the thermal properties of insulated electrical and optical cables. The standard applies to cables with solid or stranded conductors, and with insulation and/or sheaths made of various materials, including thermoplastics, elastomers, and cross-linked materials. The standard covers a range of thermal tests that can be used to evaluate the performance of cables under different temperature conditions. These tests include: Heat shock test to determine the ability of the cable to withstand sudden changes in temperature. Ageing test to determine the long-term effects of heat on the cable. Thermal cycling test to determine the ability of the cable to withstand repeated cycles of heating and cooling. Hot set test to determine the ability of the cable to maintain its shape and size under high temperatures. Low temperature bend test to determine the ability of the cable to bend at low temperatures without cracking. The purpose of BS EN 60811-1-3:1995 is to ensure that cables used in various applications, such as power transmission and telecommunications, meet the necessary thermal performance requirements for their intended use. The standard provides guidelines for preparing test samples and conducting the tests, and also specifies the acceptance criteria for each test.
