Some existing British Standards feauturing HAR products will be 2012. drawn on 31 December 2. BS EN 50525 for wiring and flexible cables up to and including 450/750 V was published in September 2011 and will become fully effective from ist January 2013 and replaces a number of existing British Standards being withdrawn on 31st December 2012. 3, There will be changes to existing standards BS 6004 and BS 7211 which were re issued in September 2012 None of these amendments require changes to Prysmian manufacturing and market practice, nS 1. The following Bi BS 638-4 ‘Arc welding power sources, equipment and accessories.

The introduction of BS EN 50525 In 2011 a new European Standard, EN 50525, covering wiring and flexible cables up to and including ‘450/750 V was issued and it supersedes the earlier harmonisation documents HO21 and HO22. Previously national standard bodies, such as the BSI, had freedom to issue their own national technically equivalent. standards. Now, the new EN format must be implemented unchanged. The British Standards Institute therefore published all 18 parts of BS EN 50525, One impact of this will be that 6491X and 64918 currently manufactured and tested to BS 6004 and BS 721 are now excluded from those British Standards and are now be covered by EN 50525. 6491X: [Previously BS 6004 _| Now manufactured to BS EN 50525-2-31:20T1 64518: [Previously BS 7211__ [Now manufactured to BS EN 50525-3-41:2011. 90 °C cross linked ‘Anumber of cables with UK CMA codes and harmonised references will now be covered by the BS as shown in the table below 2.a Table of existing standards, harmonised codes and new Standard numbers UK cable codes HAR codes |New cable standard 248K OSV BS EN 50525-2-31 2499 HOSVK BSEN 50525-2.31 643K HOW BS EN 50525-2-31 6431X HO7vR BSEN 50525-2-31 6491x HO7VK BS EN 50525-2-31 2eY HOBVVF BSEN 5025-241 mY Hoa vH2 F BSEN S0525-2-1 ay HOSVVE BS EN 505252. 3182 HOSVVH2 F BS EN 50525-2-1 24918 HOsz U SEN 50525.3-41 24518 Hasz K BS EN 50525-3-41 64318 HO7ZU.

It should be noted that in BS EN 5052541 section 74 and annex A it describes tests and requirements to be met for ‘the mechanical strength of flexible cables. These are new tests and you need to ensure your cable sup- plier can meet these. Where cables are required to be "halogen free’, the standard now clearly shows a procedure for assessment in BS EN 50525-1, 75 B. Agaln you should make sure your cable supplier com- plies with these requirements.

Changes to BS 6004 and BS 7211 BS 6004 and BS 7211 were reissued in September 2012. 6481X and 64918 have now been removed from these standards and appear in BS EN 50525. BS 6004 and BS 7211 now cover only selected UK cables de- signs and will now include Arctic Flexible cords. The detail are in the table below: BS 6004 [Now covers: | 6TBTY, 6192V, 6241Y, 6242V, 6243V, 3192A, 318-A (arctic flex). BS 7211 [Now covers: | 61878, 62428 etc Changes to cable marking. In recent years the Approved Cables Initiative (ACI) has highlighted that the absence of marking, or the inadequacies of incomplete or erroneous marking are a major safety hazard. The BSI and major stakehold- ers such as BASEC and the BCA have worked together to promote improvements to British Standards to ensure marking requirements are clear. The new BS 7211 and BS 6004 will feature the following mandatory elements of marking: Prysmian Cables and Systems Ltd, Chickenhall Lane, Eastleigh, Hampshire, SOS0 SYU December 2012 WFPRYSMIAN Element Explanation Cable manufacturer This should be the original manufacturer's name and thelr unique factory Identifier. Where the manufacturer has 2 recognised trademark or equivalent, ‘this may be added, but may not replace the requirement for name and factory identifier. Electric cable The marking “ELECTRIC CABLE” is a well established safety item, and is retained. Voltage designation ‘Some standards have cables of only a single voltage rating, say 300/500 V. Others may contain cables of more than one voltage rating. The marked rat- ing must correspond to that of the actual cable in question. British Standard number By marking the standard number, for instance “BS 6004", turer is making a declaration of conformity, ie. a claim by or on behalf of the manufacturer that the product meets the requirements of the standard. The accuracy of the claim is solely the claimant's responsibility. Such a declaration Is not to be confused with third-party certification of conformity. UK cable code The various codes, such as 6242¥, are easily recognised by Installers and other professionals, providing an invaluable instant recognition of the cable type. The concept is now widely used in European cable standards Number of cores and nominal area of conductor ‘This augments the code by showing precisely the make-up of the cable and especially conductor cross-sectional area in millimetres, This is crucial to safety calculations relating to current ratings and voltage drops. A typical marking may be "3x15" ‘Where a cable has an insulated circuit protective conductor (CPC) itis re- quited also to add for instance “+ 1.0” indicating in such a case that the CPC has a1 mm? conductor size. Year of manufacture The year of manufacture may take the form of the actual year (e.g, 2013) or @ coded year identifier assigned by the manufacturer. This acts as a significant aid to traceability in the case of a problem Standard core colour identifier Following European harmonisation of core colours, and to allow the British Standards to continue to be used in non-European countries that use UK wir- ing practices, it became essential to provide an external marking to indicate use of the harmonised colours. That marking is the letter “H’ Because all of the above elements of marking constitute safety aspects of the correct installation and use of the cable, it is essential that the markings be permanent and durable to recognise that the useful life- time of the cable may be m by embossing or indenting. may be applied alternativel jeasured in decades, In these four standards such markings are to be applied Certain additional information, such as for instance metre or length marks, ly by printing techniques. Prysiian Cables and Systems Ltd, Chickenhall Lane, Eastleigh, Hampshire, SOSO 6YU December 2012 WFPRYSMIAN Whilst it is not mandatory to have these cables approved by a 3rd party body (in the UK such as BASEC) many manufacturers recognise the benefits of doing so. Where the manufacturer wishes to declare such approval, it shall be in accordance with the marking requirements of the Approval Body. These standards specify the method of such marking, Key dates in the changeover 30th September 2011 - 8S EN 50525 (18 parts) published by BSI. From this date manufacturers may choose to declare conformity to this standard in place of the pre-existing British Standards, but itis not mandatory, September 2012 - Publication of new editions of BS 6004 and BS 7211 31st December 2012 - Withdrawal of BS 638-4, BS 6007, BS 6500 and BS 7379, ‘1st January 2013 - BS EN 50525 (18 parts) comes into effect fully, plus the new editions of BS 6004 and Bs 72n. Prysmian & The changeover Prysmian willfully implement the required changes in line with the 1st January 2073 target dates. Any ‘stock made prior to this date is fully BASEC approved and can be used and sold in the market place, There is a transition period advised by BASEC which extends to the end of 2013, wherein BASEC will con- tinue to offer HAR certification to the British Standards/HDs until this deadline when certificates will be cancelled. All new BASEC approvals required by Prysmian cables have been applied for and will be in place for this deadline, ‘There are no changes to cables currently supplied by Prysmian but there are some changes covering new tests for flexible cables and you should check your supplier now complies with these. ‘As our customer you can continue to supply cables already in your possession from ourselves and also cable that may be delivered to you in 2013, where the cables may still be marked 2012.
