Electric and optical fibre cables. Test methods for non-metallic materials. Miscellaneous tests. Test method for copper-catalyzed oxidative degradation of polyolefin insulated conductors | Status: Current

1 Scope This Part 410 of IEC 60811 gives the procedure for copper-catalyzed oxidative degradation of a polyolefin, which is typically used for insulation in communication cables. Full test conditions, such as temperature, duration, etc. and full test requirements are not specified in this standard; it is intended that they should be specified by the standard dealing with the relevant type of cable.
