36、ding details shall be as shown in Appendix A. 1.8 Cable identification 2) The cable shall be identified by its name and size, together with code letters to indicate country of origin, manufacturer and year of manufacture in the manner shown by the following example: NOTEThe use of the code letters G

37、BX is intended to take effect not later than1 January1978. In the meantime the code letter “G” is still acceptable. This nomenclature shall be applied to the cable in the manner specified in the individual cable specification. It shall be permanent and legibly printed, on the cable and shall, unless

38、 otherwise specified, be black and repeated at a spacing of150mm to500mm. The horizontal axis of the characters shall preferably be parallel to the axis of the cable. The height of the characters on cable sizes10 to24 shall be approximately two thirds of the maximum cable diameter, and on cable size

39、s8 to0000 shall be as applied to size10 cables. All letters shall be capitals. 1.8.1 Cable name. The cable name shall be that required by the individual cable specification. Abbreviations of the name shall only be those permitted by the individual cable specification. 1.8.2 Cable size. The cable siz

40、e shall correspond with conductor requirements stated in the individual cable specification. 1.8.3 Country of origin. The code letter for the country of origin of the cable shall be “GBX” for cables manufactured in the United Kingdom. NOTEThe use of the code letters “GBX” is to take effect not later

41、 than1 January1977. In the meantime the code letter “G” is still acceptable. 1.8.4 Manufacturers code letters. The manufacturer shall not mark the cable itself with his name or address, but with code letters in accordance with the list of manufacturers identification marks for aircraft electrical ca

42、bles stated in Appendix B. 1.8.5 Year of manufacture. This character in the nomenclature shall be a letter, selected from Table 1, to indicate the year of manufacture. All manufacturers shall use the same letter for the current year, which shall be the year in which the insulation was extruded (or s

43、intered in the case ofPTFE). 1.9 Designation of the cable For the purposes of references on drawings and orders, the cables shall be designated by the individual cable specification number, together with the individual cable name, and size and, if relevant, the phase colour or colours; e.g. BS G ./U

44、ninyvin22 BS G ./Minyvinmetsheath14 BS G ./Unitersil16/blue. BS G ./Duefglas12/red/yellow. 1.10 Packaging and labelling Unless otherwise stated in the individual cable specification or contract the cable shall be supplied in a single nominal length of100m on a reel ordrum. Where several shorter leng

45、ths are permitted, the number of lengths and actual length(s) shall be stated. Cable shall not be supplied in coils unless required by the contract. After testing, the cable shall have its ends sealed to prevent the ingress of moisture. Each reel or drum shall bear a durable label upon which the fol

46、lowing particulars shall be plainly and permanently printed: 1) name of manufacturer; 2) name and size of cable (see1.8.1 and1.8.2); 3) formation of conductor, e.g.37/0.2mm; 4) the individual cable specification number and year of issue; 5) date of manufacture, i.e.year and month; 6) release referen

47、ce number or contract number, or both; 7) actual length in metres. 2) Conforms to ISO2574.BSG212:1971 BSI 03-2000 3 If the manufacturer so desires, the information may be written, provided a permanent ink is used and the characters are legible. The label may be attached permanently to the side of th

48、e reel or drum by adhesive or staples, or may be a tie-on label with one side blank. 2 Tests 2.1 General Tests shall be made to prove compliance with the relevant requirements of this British Standard and also the individual cable specification. It is not intended or recommended that all teats be ma

49、de on all or every cable length supplied. “-met” and “-metsheath” cables may, where permitted by their individual specifications, be made from the basic “uni-” cable and shall satisfy the requirements of further tests. The manufacturer shall produce evidence to the satisfaction of the Approving Authority 3)that cables of the types to be supplied to the specifications fulfil the requirements. The manufacturer shall also disclose to the purchaser and the Approving Authority any proposal to introduce constructions or processes differing from those
