Scope

1.1 These test methods cover procedures for testing hookup wire.

1.2 For the purposes of these test methods, hookup wire insulation includes all components of the insulation system used on single insulated conductors or an assembly of single insulated conductors such as a cable bundle and harness or flat ribbon cable. The insulating materials include not only the primary insulation over the conductor, but also insulating jackets over shielded constructions.

1.3 The test procedures and their locations are as follows:

1.4 The values stated in SI are the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.

1.5 sibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. For specific precaution statements, see 12.2.1, 12.4.1.8, 18.1.3 and Note 17 and 25.4.
