What is BS EN 4056-003 - Cable ties about ?
BS EN 4056-003 is the third part of the European Standard on aerospace series.
BS EN 4056-003 defines the required characteristics of cable ties with either internal or external serrations manufactured entirely from plastics material, for installation under controlled tension on aircraft cable harnesses.
BS EN 4056-003 shall be used together with EN 4056-001.
Who is BS EN 4056-003 - Cable ties for ?
BS EN 4056-003 on cable ties is applicable to:
- Aerospace avionic electrical and fibre optic technology
- Design engineers for electrical cables and cable ties
- Aerospace electric equipment manufacturers
- Quality control personnel for electrical cables and cable ties
- Aerospace and defence industries
- Manufacturers of electrical cables and cable ties
Why should you use BS EN 4056-003 - Cable ties ?
A cable tie (also known as a hose tie, zip tie, or tie-wrap) is a type of fastener, used to harness and bundle items, primarily electrical cables, and wires together to keep them organized and prevent damage. Because of their low cost, ease of use, and binding strength, cable ties are ubiquitous, finding use in a wide range of other applications.
Cable ties come in different sizes, lengths, materials, tensile strengths, and even colours. The guidelines given in BS EN 4056-003 helps you select the right material as well as resistance and application tools for cable ties.
Cable tie is made from nylon, and it is one of the most produced materials for the plastics and textile industries. The best practice guidelines provided in BS EN 4056-003 helps you with the better and safe use of electrical connectors and cable ties.
You have greater flexibility while designing and integrating new products and composing systems with components as well according to application requirements. By using BS EN 4056-003 you get the right specifications that can help you improve the production process.
BS EN 4056-003 is structured such that the necessary level of quality is achieved, consistently maintained, and the high reliability of the product is assured.
