Common test methods for insulating and sheathing materials of electric cables and optical cables - Part 1-1: Methods for general application; Measurement of thickness and overall dimensions; Tests for determining the mechanical properties
The International Standard IEC 60811-1 specifies the test methods to be used for testing
polymeric insulating and sheathing materials of electric cables for power distribution and
telecommunications including cables used on ships, and in offshore applications.
This section of IEC 60811-1 gives the methods for measuring thicknesses and overall
dimensions, and for determining the mechanical properties, which apply to the most common
types of insulating and sheathing compounds (elastomeric, PVC, PE, PP, etc.).
