14、0:2011 4 Introduction EN 50363 contains, in its various parts, the requirements for insulating, sheathing and covering materials that are used for harmonized low voltage energy cables in EN 50525. The previous edition of EN 50363-0 (2005) showed, in its Annex A, the original location in HD 21 and HD

15、 22 of each material and its place in the full series of EN 50363. For this second edition, this annex has been deleted. The content of EN 50363 is not, and will not be, restricted only to materials for cables to EN 50525. Other materials for harmonized LV industrial cables may be included. Furtherm

16、ore, the use of materials in EN 50363 for cables outside EN 50525 is not prohibited, but it is strongly recommended that expert advice be taken before such use, or before any proposal for incorporation into another standard.

17、ous parts, the requirements for insulating, sheathing and covering materials that are used for harmonized low voltage energy cables. EN 50363 is published as this Part 0 together with a series of separately published parts as listed in Table 1 and these parts require that Part 0 be read in conjuncti
