What is BS EN 4056-004 - Plastic cable ties about?
BS EN 4056 is a European standard on aerospace that discusses cable ties for harnesses.
BS EN 4056-004 is the fourth part of a multi-part series that defines the characteristics of cable ties with either internal or external serrations manufactured entirely from plastics material, for installation under controlled tension on aircraft cable harnesses to manufacture efficient cable ties of high durability.
BS EN 4056-004 shall be used together with EN 4056-001.
Who is BS EN 4056-004 - Plastic cable ties for?
BS EN 4056-004 on plastic cable ties is relevant to:
- Aircraft cable harnesses manufacturers
- Design engineers
- Aerospace electric equipment manufacturers
- Quality control personnel for electrical cables and cable ties
- Aerospace and defence industries
- Plastic cable ties manufacturers
Why should you use BS EN 4056-004 - Plastic cable ties?
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.
Cable ties come in different sizes, lengths, materials, tensile strengths, and even colours. The guidelines under BS EN 4056-004 assist you in selecting the right material as well as variant code, U.V. resistance and application tools for plastic cable ties.
Cable tie is made from nylon, and it is one of the most produced materials for the plastics and textile industries. BS EN 4056-004 provide you guidance on colour coding, smoke density, toxicity as well as burning behaviour of ties and assists in the better and safe use of plastic cable ties.
BS EN 4056-004 provides greater flexibility while designing plastic cable ties by providing application requirements. BS EN 4056-004 also provides tests that assist in evaluating the performance and efficiency of plastic cable ties.
With compliance and obedience to BS EN 4056-004, you can adopt the required specifications and correct dimensions for manufacturing efficient plastic cable ties.
BS EN 4056-004 is structured such that the necessary level of quality is achieved, consistently maintained, and the high reliability of the product is assured.
