38、es composed of cables and connectors. Additional requirements relating to specific families of cable assemblies are given in the relevant sectional specifications. NOTE 1The design of the cables and connectors used should preferably conform to the applicable parts of IEC61196and IEC61169respectively
39、. NOTE 2This specification does not include tests which are normally performed on the cables and connectors separately. These tests are described in IEC61196-1and IEC61169-1respectively. NOTE 3Wherever possible, cables and connectors used in cable assemblies, even if they are not described in the IE
40、C61196or IEC61169series are tested separately according to the tests given in the relevant generic specification. NOTE 4Where additional protection is applied to a cable assembly, the mechanical and environmental tests described in this standard are applicable. 2 Normative references The following n
