12、ry 2013. It wasprepared by Subcommittee GEL/20/17, Low voltage cables, under the authorityof Technical Committee GEL/20, Electric cables. A list of organizationsrepresented on this committee can be obtained on request to its secretary.SupersessionThis British Standard supersedes BS 6004:2000 (incorp

13、orating AmendmentsNos. 1 and 2) and partially supersedes BS 7919:2001 (incorporating AmendmentsNos. 1, 2 and 3), which are to be withdrawn on 31 December 2012.Relationship with other publicationsThe new edition takes account of: BS EN 60228 (replacing BS 6360) on conductors; BS EN 50363-3 (replacing

14、 BS 7655-3.1) on materials; BS EN 50395 (replacing Annex C of BS 6004:2000) on electrical tests; BS EN 50396 (replacing Annex D of BS 6004:2000) on thicknessmeasurement; BS EN 60332-1-2 (replacing BS EN 50265-2-1); BS EN 62230 (replacing BS EN 50356) on spark testing.Information about this documentI

15、n the preparation of BS 6004, GEL/20/17 has requested that references to otherstandards for which the committee is responsible are undated, even if referringto a specific clause. It is the committees intention not to amend thefundamentals (e.g. clause numbers, material type designation) in any of th

16、esestandards and so the latest edition applies.This is a full revision of the standard, which has been revised due to theconversion of CENELEC Harmonization Documents HD 21 and HD 22 toBS EN 50525 (all parts). The previous edition of BS 6004 included a number ofcable types that were harmonized and m

17、arked with CENELEC harmonized codedesignations. The following cables are now included in BS EN 50525 (all parts)and withdrawn from BS 6004, which now only contains national types: PVC insulated, non-sheathed general purpose cable, single core (H07V-U,H07V-R and H07V-K) 450/750 V; PVC insulated, non-

18、sheathed cable for internal wiring, single core (H05V-U,H05V-R and H05V-K) 300/500 V; PVC insulated, non-sheathed, heat-resisting cable, for internal wiring, singlecore (H05V2-U, H05V2-R and H05V2-K) 300/500 V; PVC insulated, non-sheathed, heat-resisting cable, for internal wiring, singlecore (H07V2

19、-U, H07V2-R and H07V2-K) 450/750 V; oil resisting PVC sheathed, screened cables, having between 2 and 60 cores(H05VVC4V5-K) 300/500 V.The following cables have also been withdrawn from BS 6004 followingwithdrawal by CENELEC: PVC insulated, non-sheathed cable, single core for installation at lowtempe

22、to provide further clarification on whereinformation from BS 6004:2000 and BS 7919:2001 has been moved to in thisedition of BS 6004 and BS EN 50525-2-31. Annex B has been included to provideclarification on which cables have been transferred to BS EN 50525 (all parts).The importance of the relations

23、hip between the traditional United KingdomCable Code (formerly known as the CMA coding) and its equivalent harmonizedCENELEC code designations is emphasized.

33、 suitable to permit operation of thecables at a maximum sustained conductor temperature of 70 C and for amaximum short-circuit conductor temperature of 160 C (for a maximum periodof 5 s).NOTE 1 Limitation on the temperature of the cables may be imposed in situationswhere they could be touched or whe

34、re they could touch other materials.NOTE 2 In installations that include wiring accessories, junction boxes andconsumer units etc., the performance of these accessories should be taken intoaccount in deciding the maximum operating temperature of the cable.NOTE 3 Annex A provides a guide to the cross
