This Standard specifies test methods to evaluate the properties of materials used to
manufacture telecommunication cables.
The scope of this Standard does not include the following:
(a) Cables using materials that are semi-conductive.
(b) Aspects of telecommunication cables such as spacers or cores in coaxial cables.
(c) Dimensions or electrical requirements of completed cables.
(d) Cables used to conduct electrical power.
Table 1.1 provides a summary of the material tests that are set out in the Appendices of this
Standard.
