IEC 63010-1:2017 pdf download.Halogen-free thermoplastic insulated and sheathed flexible cables of rated voltages up to and including 300/300 V
1 Scope
This part of IEC 6301 0 applies to cables with insulation and sheaths based on halogen-free thermoplastic compounds for use with small devices and for short connections to desktop electrical appliances where flexibility is of prime importance. These cables have a voltage rating U 0 /U up to and including 300/300 V. Maximum operating temperature for the cables in this document is 70 °C. NOTE 1 For these types of flexible cables the term cord is also used. NOTE 2 Unlike other cables that are described as “halogen-free” as part of an overall fire performance capability, cables conforming to IEC 6301 0 have no requirements relating to evolution of smoke. NOTE 3 Not to be used for fixed installation, extension leads or completed cordsets longer than four meters.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses: • IEC Electropedia: available at http://www.electropedia.org/ • ISO Online browsing platform: available at http://www.iso.org/obp 3.1 Definitions relating to insulating and sheathing materials 3.1 .1 halogen-free compound compound, in which the polymer is a polyolefin or equivalent synthetic polymer not containing halogens, which meets the requirements given in this document 3.1 .2 type of compound category in which a compound is placed according to its properties, as determined by specific tests Note 1 to entry: The type designation is not directly related to the composition of the compound. 3.2 Definitions relating to the tests 3.2.1 type tests T test required to be carried out, before supplying a type of cable covered by this document on a general commercial basis, in order to demonstrate satisfactory performance characteristics to meet the intended application Note 1 to entry: Type tests are of such a nature that, after they have been made, they need not be repeated unless changes are made in the cable materials or design, which might change the performance characteristics.3.2.2 sample tests S test carried out on samples of completed cable or components taken from a completed cable, adequate to verify that the finished product meets the design specifications 3.2.3 routine test R test carried out by the manufacturer on each manufactured length of cable to check that each length meets the specified requirements

IEC 6301 0 IEC 1 1 1 for circular cables and IEC 6301 0 IEC 1 1 1 f for flat cables.
5 Rated voltage
The rated voltage of a cable is the reference voltage for which the cable is designed. The rated voltage in an alternating current system is expressed by the combination of two values U 0 /U, expressed in volts, where: a) U 0 is the r.m.s. value between any insulated conductor and “earth” (metal covering of the cable or the surrounding medium); b) U is the r.m.s. value between any two phase conductors of a multicore cable or of a system of single core cables. In an alternating current system, the rated voltage of a cable or cord shall be at least equal to the nominal voltage of the system for which it is intended. This condition applies to the values of both U 0 and U. The maximum permanent operating voltage of the system (AC or DC) is stated in Table 1 .
