What is BS EN 2713-005 - Spiral screened and jacketed electrical cable for aerospace applications about?
BS EN 2713-005 is a European Standard that covers spiral screened and jacketed electrical cable for aerospace applications, enabling the prevention of external electrical noise and stable operability under varying temperature conditions in aerospace applications.
BS EN 2713-005 specifies the characteristics of CO2 laser printable, single and multicore screened (spiral) and jacketed electrical cables for use in the onboard electrical systems of aircraft, at operating temperatures between − 55 °C and 200 °C.
With BS EN 2713-005, it shall also be possible to mark these cables by hot stamp printing or inkjet printing. These markings shall be in accordance with EN 3838.

Why should you use BS EN 2713-005 - Spiral screened and jacketed electrical cable for aerospace applications?
Aerospace electrical cables sustain intense vibration during take-off, flight, and landing, while also being subject to harsh environmental conditions. Cable faults cost money and create disruption, so there is an enormous demand for cable test techniques to ensure cables and joints are in good condition.
BS EN 2713-005 provides users guidance on materials and construction, including materials, screen, outer jacket, construction, colour coding of cores and jacket, enabling users to develop electrical cables with high strength and performance.
BS EN 2713-005 provides users guidance on the required characteristics of cables, including tests such as visual examination, voltage proof test, insulation resistance, surface resistance, overload resistance, accelerated ageing, and thermal shock, ensuring stable operability and prevention of hazards.
BS EN 2713-005 also provides users references on identification, marking, packaging, labelling and delivery lengths, enabling users in identification, storage, usability and delivery conditions for effective quality of electrical cables.
With obedience and compliance to BS EN 2713-005, users can develop and assess electrical cables for use in the onboard electrical systems, ensuring noise immunity and prevention of electrical interferences.
