BS EN 60684-3-271:2011

This standard BS EN 60684-3-271:2011 Flexible insulating sleeving is classified in these ICS categories:

• 25.040.40 Industrial process measurement and control
• 35.100.20 Data link layer
• 29.035.20 Plastics and rubber insulating materials

IEC 60684-3-271:2011 gives the requirements for four types of heat-shrinkable, flame retarded, fluid resistant, elastomer sleevings, nominal shrink ratio of 2:1.
- Type A: standard wall thickness for use at temperatures up to 120 °C
- Type B: thin wall thickness for use at temperatures up to 120 °C
- Type C: standard wall thickness for use at temperatures up to 150 °C
- Type D: thin wall thickness for use at temperatures up to 150 °C. The significant technical change from the previous edition is the addition of a type of sleeving suitable for use at temperatures up to 150 °C. This edition includes the following significant technical change from the previous edition: the addition of a type of sleeving suitable for use at temperatures up to 150 °C.
