This document covers the construction, requirements and particular test methods for flat, flexible PVC or halogen-free insulated and sheathed cables, of rated voltage Uo/U 300/500 V and above 1 mm2, Uo/U 450/750 V for use in passenger and goods lifts (elevators), and Uo/U 450/750 V for general purposes and for special applications such as hoists and travelling cranes. NOTE 1 This revision is in accordance with an agreement with CEN TC 10 to specify in the same standard a) flexible cables for lifts as required by EN 81-series, and b) flexible cable for applications such as hoists and travelling cranes, previously found in HD 359. In accordance with this agreement, only those cables in Clauses 5 and 6 are suitable for use with EN 81-series. NOTE 2 The limits for the overall diameter of the cables have been calculated in accordance with EN 60719.
