41、 spools or in coils in sufficient lengths, wound evenly and uniformly. Each drum, spool or coil shall have a label containing information given in 9.1. 7.1.3 Qualification tests See Table 1. 7.2 Acceptance test 7.2.1 Required conditions 7.2.1.1 General See Table 1. The acceptance tests shall be carr
42、ied out on cables delivered against an order to check that the cable characteristics are maintained. 7.2.1.2 Tests to be carried out on all cables The cables which fail any of the tests specified in 7.2.2 shall be rejected. 7.2.1.3 Random sampling tests: retest If any of the specimens fails one of t
43、he tests specified in 7.2.3, that test shall be repeated on another set of specimens selected at random from the same batch. If one of these new specimens fails the test, the batch submitted for acceptance shall be rejected. 7.2.2 Production routine tests The tests shall be carried out on all cables
44、 delivered. See Table 1. 7.2.3 Tests prior to delivery They shall be carried out by sampling on each delivery batch. See Table 1. BS EN 4604-001:2009EN 4604-001:2009 (E) 10 7.2.4 Periodic tests They shall be carried out by sampling at least every three years. Unless otherwise indicated the “X” means
45、 applicable at the same condition specified for qualification. See Table 1. 8 Identification, marking and colour 8.1 Identification See product standards. 8.2 Marking It is applied to the outer sheath or on a tape beneath a transparent outer jacket. See TR 6058, Clause “Marking since March 1998” but
46、 without specific and AWG-cable size code. 8.3 Colour The colour of the marking is in accordance with ISO 2574 if not otherwise defined in the product standard. 9 Packaging, labelling and delivery length 9.1 Packaging and labelling Cables supplied on drum, spools or in coils shall be wound evenly an
47、d uniformly. All cable ends shall be easily accessible and protected where necessary. Each drum, spool or coil shall have a label indicating: manufacturers name and designation; cable designation according to the EN product standard; batch number; date of manufacture (month, year); inspectors mark;
48、total length and length of each piece of cable in metres from inside to outside. 9.2 Delivery length Delivery length, see product standards.
