BS EN 61386-1:2008+A1:2019

This standard BS EN 61386-1:2008+A1:2019 Conduit systems for cable management is classified in these ICS categories:

• 29.120.10 Conduits for electrical purposes

This part of IEC 61386 specifies requirements and tests for conduit systems, including conduits and conduit fittings, for the protection and management of insulated conductors and/or cables in electrical installations or in communication systems up to 1 000 V a.c. and/or 1 500 V d.c. This standard applies to metallic, non-metallic and composite conduit systems, including threaded and non-threaded entries which terminate the system. This standard does not apply to enclosures and connecting boxes which come within the scope of IEC 60670 .

NOTE 1 Certain conduit systems may also be suitable for use in hazardous atmospheres. Regard should then be taken of the extra requirements necessary for equipment to be installed in such conditions.

NOTE 2 Earthing conductors may or may not be insulated.
