BS EN 60684-3-116:2011

This standard BS EN 60684-3-116:2011 Flexible insulating sleeving is classified in these ICS categories:

• 35.110 Networking
• 25.040.40 Industrial process measurement and control
• 35.100.70 Application layer
• 29.035.20 Plastics and rubber insulating materials

IEC 6084-3-116:2010 gives the requirements for non-heat-shrinkable sleeving, extruded from compounds based on polychloroprene elastomer. This sleeving has been found suitable for temperatures up to 95 °C. Sleeving of this type is normally available with internal diameters up to 25 mm, and in the following opaque colours: black, brown, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet, grey, white and pink. Sizes or colours other than those specifically listed in this standard may be available as custom items. This edition includes requirements four new tests:
- tear propagation;
- circumferential extension;
- voltage proof and thermal shock.
