IEC 60092-353:2024 is applicable to shipboard and offshore non radial field power cables with extruded solid insulation, having a voltage rating of 0,6/1 (1,2) kV or 1,8/3 (3,6) kV intended for fixed installations. Cables designed to maintain circuit integrity during a fire are included. The various types of power cables are given in 5.1. The constructional requirements and test methods are aligned with those indicated in IEC 60092-350, unless otherwise specified in this document.
The object of this document is:
- to standardize cables whose safety and reliability is ensured when they are installed in accordance with the requirements of IEC 60092-352 or IEC 61892-4,
- to lay down standard manufacturing requirements and characteristics of such cables directly or indirectly bearing on safety, and
- to specify test methods for checking conformity with those requirements.
This fifth edition cancels and replaces the fourth edition published in 2016. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) Updated references to IEC 60092-350 for general construction and test methods and IEC 60092-360 for insulating and sheathing materials.
b) Added subclause 5.10: Construction for special applications.
c) Added Table 9: Additional test for cables for installation between areas with and without explosive atmospheres.
d) Deleted the test requirement IEC 60331-21 from Table 7.
e) Deleted the former Annex A (Alternative enhanced insulation thickness for 0,6/1 kV).
