BS EN 3838:2010EN 3838:2010 (E) 4 Introduction Durability of function-related marking of aircraft electrical cables is of great importance throughout the life of an aircraft, during initial assembly, operation

17、and maintenance operations in service. Markings should, therefore, be made to a sufficiently high standard to satisfy requirements initially and for the remainder of the expected life marked cable or equipment containing it. Markings are applied by the user to the cable insulation, jacket or sheath

18、and should not degrade the performance of the cable. They should be applied in accordance with design requirements using a process approved by the Design Authority. BS EN 3838:2010EN 3838:2010 (E) 5 1 Scope This standard specifies tests that should be performed on markings applied by the user to ens

19、ure that their durability is satisfactory and that, after application of markings directly to the cable insulation, jacket or sheath, the cable will meet the performance requirements laid down. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this do

Other methods of marking may be defined as aggressive by the Official Services. 4 Quali

26、fication tests 4.1 Tests The tests in Table 1 shall be performed at the introduction of the marking process, at every change in technology or processing technique affecting the cable insulation, jacket or sheath or as required by the Official Services. Tests shall be performed on the sizes for quali

27、fication defined in the cable specification for each colour, material and construction of cable, jacket and sheath which will be directly marked. Before the tests defined in Table 1 are performed on specimens of user marked cable, ensure that the specimens have been subjected to any post marking cur

28、ing which is normal for the defined marking process.
