What is BS EN 6059-304 - Flammability of protection sleeve about ?
BS EN 6059-304 is a European Standard that specifies methods for determining the flammability characteristics of protective sleeves, including heat shrink dual-wall sleeves, for electric cable and cable bundles. It shall be used together with EN 6059‑100.
These tests are designed to satisfy the requirements in JAR-25 Section 1, Part 1, Appendix F.
There are two methods included in BS EN 6059-304:
- Method 1 – Applicable for textile fabric sleeves
- Method 2 – Applicable non-textile sleeves for use on electrical/ optical cables and harness components
Who is BS EN 6059-304 - Flammability of protection sleeve for ? 
BS EN 6059-304 on flammability of protection sleeve for aerospace is applicable to: 
- Aerospace avionic electrical and fibre optic technology
- Aerospace and defence industries
- Manufacturers of protection sleeves
- Quality control personnel for protection sleeves
- Testing agencies involved in the inspection of spacecraft and aerospace products
Why should you use BS EN 6059-304 - Flammability of protection sleeve ? 
As a manufacturer of protection sleeves, BS EN 6059-304 guides you in performing the test methods for flammability testing and thereby checking the effectiveness.
BS EN 6059-304 gives you guidelines on procedures and requirements of testing the flammability of protection sleeves for electrical cable and cable bundles.
By adopting BS EN 6059-304, you can demonstrate the reliability of your products and build trust in their use throughout the aerospace supply chain.
