What is BS EN 4056-001 - Technical specification for cable ties for harnesses about?
BS EN 4056 is a European standard on aerospace that discusses cable ties. BS EN 4056-001 provides the technical specification for cable ties for harnesses to enhance the efficiency of cable ties.
BS EN 4056-001 is the first part of a multi-part series that specifies the characteristics, test methods, qualification, and acceptance conditions of plastic cable ties, used for the bundling, fixing, and/or marking of cable harnesses in aircraft. The cable ties should be installed with a qualified application tool, which controls the application force thus avoiding damage to the cable insulation.
BS EN 4056-001 defines the aerospace requirements not specified in EN 62275.
Who is BS EN 4056-001 - Technical specification for cable ties for harnesses for?
BS EN 4056-001 on the technical specification for cable ties for harnesses is relevant to:
- Aerospace avionic electrical and fibre optic technology
- Design engineers for electrical cables and cable ties
- Aerospace electric equipment manufacturers
- Quality control personnel for electrical cables and cable ties
- Aerospace and defence industries
- Manufacturers of electrical cables and cable ties
Why should you use BS EN 4056-001 - Technical specification for cable ties for harnesses?
A cable tie (also known as a hose tie, zip tie, or tie-wrap) is a type of fastener, used to harness and bundle items, primarily electrical cables, and wires together to keep them organized and prevent damage. Because of their low cost, ease of use, and binding strength, cable ties are ubiquitous, finding use in a wide range of other applications.
A cable harness is an assembly of cables, complete with end terminals which may be manufactured formed on or off the aircraft with two or more end destinations.
Cable ties come in different sizes, lengths, materials, tensile strengths, and even colours. The guidelines under BS EN 4056-001 assist you in selecting the right material as well as resistance and application tools for cable ties.
The best practice guidelines provided in BS EN 4056-001 also assist you with the better and safe use of electrical connectors and cable ties.
BS EN 4056-001 provides greater flexibility while designing and integrating new products and composing systems with components as well according to application requirements.
BS EN 4056-001 is structured such that the necessary level of quality is achieved, consistently maintained, and the high reliability of the product is assured.
With obedience and compliance to BS EN 4056-001, you can enhance the efficacy of cable ties and manufacture a standardized high-quality product to ensure the reliability of your products and build trust in their use throughout the aerospace supply chain.
