It specifies requirements for flexible cables for industrial and similar environments. It incorporates cables specified in
28、HD 21.12 and HD 21.13, and in HD 22.10, HD 22.11, HD 22.12, HD 22.13, HD 22.15 and HD 22.16. BS 7919 complements BS 6500:2000 which specifies requirements for flexible cords for domestic and similar environments. Together with BS 6500:2000, BS 6004:2000 and BS 6007:2000, it supersedes BS 6141:1991 w

For example, text altered by amendment no. 1 is indicated by !“. Amendment No. 2:2004 implements the changes to t
30、he identification of cores by colours, in accordance with HD 308 S2. The principal identification colours are now: Single phase Green-and-yellow (Earth); blue (Neutral); brown (Live). Three phase Green-and-yellow (Earth); blue (Neutral); brown, black, grey (Live). Users should ensure that any interc
31、onnection between cables with these new colours and those with the pre-existing ones is carried out safely. BS 7671, as amended in parallel with this standard, gives some guidance in this respect, but does not cover all installation conditions or cable uses. The provisions introduced by amendment No
32、. 2:2004 are effective from 1 st April 2004. The version of this standard incorporating amendment No. 1:2002 remains current until 31 st March 2006. The following cable types have been transferred from other standards: H07RN-F types (previously in BS 6500:1994, Table 8 and in BS 6007:1993, Table 4 a
33、nd Table 4A); H05RR-F types having conductor sizes larger than 2.5 mm 2(previously in BS 6007:1993, Table 3); H05VV-F types having conductor sizes larger than 2.5 mm 2(previously in BS 6500:1994, Table 16). A national type of low temperature 300/500 V PVC cable has also been included. The following
34、national type has been superseded by the H07BN4-F harmonized type: 450/750 V rubber insulated, HOFR sheathed flexible cable (previously in BS 6007:1993, Table 5). Annex C, Annex D, Annex E, Annex F, Annex G, Annex I and Annex K are normative. Annex A and Annex B are informative. Annex H and Annex J
35、are spare. It has been assumed in the preparation of this British Standard that the execution of its provisions will be entrusted to appropriately qualified and experienced people for whose use it has been produced.BS 7919:2001 BSI 25 February 2004 v WARNING. This British Standard calls for the use
36、of substances and/or procedures that may be injurious to health if adequate precautions are not taken. It refers only to technical suitability and does not absolve the user from legal obligations relating to health and safety at any stage. Certification. Attention is drawn to the certification servi
37、ces (see page 69) of the British Approvals Service for Cables (BASEC) 1) . These services include licensing manufacturers to use BASEC certification marks as independent assurance that cables or cords have been designed and manufactured to appropriate British Standards. BASEC is a subscriber to an a
38、greement in CENELEC whereby cables or cords coming within harmonized code designations and manufactured under a BASEC licence can carry marks acceptable to other signatory countries (CENELEC “Common Marking”).
