Overview
This part of DIN EN 60684 gives the requirements for heat-shrinkable, polyolefin sleeving, antitracking with a nominal shrink ratio of 3:1. This sleeving has been found suitable for use at temperatures up to 100 °C. Typical values are a medium wall thickness at an internal diameter up to 110 mm. This type of sleeving is normally supplied in the colours red or brown. Since these types of sleevings cover a significantly large range of sizes and wall thicknesses, Table A.1 in this standard provides guidance on the range of sizes available. The actual size shall be agreed between the user and the supplier. Materials which conform to this standard meet established levels of performance. However, the selection of a material by a user for a specific application should be based on the actual requirements necessary for adequate performance in that application and not based on this standard alone. This sleeving is designed to be used in medium voltage cable accessories and as such electrical performance must be proven as part of the assembly. Examples of this are described in HD 629 and IEC 60502 series. The responsible committee is DKE/K 181 "Elektrische Isolierstoffe" ("Electrical insulating materials") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
