BS EN 50289-4-17:2011 Communication cables. Specifications for test methods. Test methods for UV resistance evaluation of the sheath of electrical and optical fibre cable
This European Standard describes three methods to determine the UV resistance of sheath materials for
electric and for optical fibre cables. These tests apply for outdoor and indoor cable applications according to
the product standard. The samples of sheath are taken from the finished cables.
NOTE Although this test method standard is written principally for communication cables, it may be used for energy cables if called
up by the relevant product standard.
Methods differ by the nature of the UV source.
