8、r the direction of the Aerospace Standards Policy Committee at the request of the British Aerospace Industry to improve the reliability of aircraft electrical cable harnesses. In addition to achieving a satisfactory cable tie, the correct tensioning of the tie using the recommended application tool

9、is considered to be important for a successful installation. With this in view, a code of practice is in course of preparation which will cover the selection and installation of ties. The importance of toxic fume emission when burning occurs has been recognized, but no suitable test has been found t

10、o date which has proved acceptable for this standard. Pending the development of such a test, the materials from which the ties are manufactured should present the minimum hazard from toxic fumes and smoke emission when burning occurs. WARNING NOTE. This standard calls for the use of substances and/

11、or test procedures that may be injurious to health if adequate precautions are not taken. It refers only to technical suitability and in no way absolves either the supplier or the user from statutory obligations relating to health and safety at any stage of manufacture or use. A British Standard doe

12、s not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. Summary of pages This document comprises a front cover, an insi

14、rd specifies the design, performance, quality assurance requirements and test procedures for cable ties for installation under controlled tension on aircraft electric cable harnesses. Ties which have provision for marking are covered but the standard does not include accessories such as mounting bra

15、ckets, separate identification tags, reuseable ties or application tools. Guidance on the storage of finished ties is given inAppendix A, and a recommended ordering procedure is given inAppendix B. NOTEThe titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover. 2

16、 Definitions For the purposes of this BritishStandard, the following definitions apply. 2.1 application tools the tools used in completing and correctly tensioning the tie joint 2.2 cable the complete assembly of conductor, insulation and metal braid, if any 2.3 harness (or bundle) a number of cable

17、s or looms specifically formed and terminated to suit a particular installation 2.4 loom any number of cables running together 2.5 breakout any number of cables branching out from the main harness 2.6 tail the portion of the tie removed after fixing 2.7 head the portion of the tie containing the tie

18、 locking system 2.8 strap the portion of the tie between its head and tail 3 Classification 3.1 General Ties shall be classified by type according to the temperature range within which they are designed to operate and by class according to their resistance to flame, see3.2 and3.3. 3.2 Operating temp

19、erature range (type) 3.3 Flame resistance (class) 4 Design requirements 4.1 General 4.1.1 Ties shall be designed for installation under controlled tension by the use of an application tool.
