What is BS EN 60684-3-284 – Heat-shrinkable sleeving for oil barrier about ?
BS EN 60684-3-284 is a European Standard that discusses flexible insulating sleeving for electrical purposes. The main objective of the BS EN IEC 60684 series is to ensure that the insulating sleeving manufactured offers the required level of electrical resistance.
BS EN 60684-3-284 is the third part of multi-series, gives the requirements for heat-shrinkable sleevings for oil barrier, medium voltage cable jointing, and termination applications, with nominal shrink ratios of up to 3:1.
These sleevings have been found suitable for use up to temperatures of 80 °C.
- Type A: polyolefin based.
- Type B: fluoropolymer based, enhanced oil resistance
These sleevings are normally supplied as translucent.

- Telecommunication industry
Why should you use BS EN 60684-3-284 - Heat-shrinkable sleeving for oil barrier ?
Sleeving is critical to electrical applications as it offers excellent insulation and acts as a corrosion-resistance protective layer.
BS EN 60684-3-284 specifies designation, sleeving conformance, property requirements that include its dimensions, longitudinal change, and temperature which is helpful to determine properties of the insulating sleeves.
Complying with BS EN 60684-3-284 requirements can ensure the sleeving provides excellent electrical insulation and protection against fire hazards, thus minimizing product failures. If you are a manufacturer of sleeving, adopting standardized practices can enhance the reliability and credibility of your products.
