Overview
This standard specifies the test requirements for PE compounds and the physical properties of the granule to be used for the insulation of telephone wire for external plant. Significant modifications with regard to the previous edition of this standard are the inclusion of health, safety and environmental requirements as well as the subdivision of tests on the granule and on cable insulation. The responsible committee is DKE/K 412 "Kommunikationskabel (Kabel, Leitungen, Wellenleiter, Lichtwellenleiter, Komponenten, Zubehör und Anlagentechnik für die Nachrichten- und Informationsübertragung)" ("Communication cables (Cables, wires, waveguides, optical fibres, components, accessories and systems engineering for telecommunication and transmission of information)") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
