What is BS EN 61212-3-2 – Industrial rigid round laminated tubes and rods about?
BS EN 61212-3-2 is part of IEC 61212 series. BS EN 61212-3-2 gives requirements for industrial rigid round laminated moulded tubes for electrical purposes, based on different resins and different reinforcements.
Materials which conform to the specification outlined in BS EN 61212-3-2 meet established levels of performance. However, the selection of a material by a user for a specific application should be based on the actual requirements necessary for adequate performance in that application and not based on this specification alone.
Note: It is the responsibility of the user of the methods contained or referred to in this document to ensure that they are used in a safe manner.
