Description

IEC 60811-408 Ed. 1.0 b – Electric and optical fibre cables – Test methods for non-metallic materials – Part 408: Miscellaneous tests – Long-term stability test of polyethylene and polypropylene compounds

IEC 60811-408:2012 gives the procedure to establish as to whether or not the quality of a cable’s components will be satisfactory over the proposed life of a communication cable. IEC 60811-408:2012 cancels and replaces Annex A of IEC 60811-4-2:2004, which is withdrawn. Full details of the replacements are shown in Annex A of IEC 60811-100:2012. There are no specific technical changes with respect to the previous edition, but see the Foreword to IEC 60811-100:2012.

This publication is to be read in conjunction with IEC 60811-100:2012.
