1 Scope
This European Standard provides guidance to help installers, cabling designers and
end users to understand the characteristics of electric cables, with a rated voltage
not exceeding 450/750 V (U0/U) or equivalent d.c. voltages, so that the cable can be selected, installed and operated
in a safe way. It is applicable to those cable types that are specified in EN 50525 (all parts).
The guidance given in this European Standard can also be applicable to low-voltage
cables of a similar type to those specified in EN 50525 but not specifically mentioned in those standards. In these cases, it is advisable
to seek additional advice from the cable manufacturer.
Legal or statutory requirements do take precedence over the guidance given in this
document.
