Scope

1.1 This test method covers the procedure for determining the volume resistivity of extruded crosslinked and thermoplastic semiconducting, conductor and insulation shields for wire and cable.

1.2 Whenever two sets of values are presented, in different units, the values in the first set are the standard, while those in parentheses are for information only.

1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.For a specific hazard statement, see 7.1.

1.4 In the common practice the conductor shield is often referred to as the strand shield.

1.5 While technically the volume resistivity in this test method is a longitudinal volume resistivity, in the wire and cable industry the word longitudinal is not used.
