CLC/TC 213 - Cable management systems

This European Standard specifies particular requirements and tests for conduit systems buried underground for the protection and management of insulated conductors and/or power cables or communication cables that are installed by different techniques, for example, blowing (including floating), pulling or pushing directly after installation of the conduit or during its expected performance time. This standard is applicable to all conduits with circular cross section manufactured individually or manufactured as a part of an assembly NOTE Reference is made to other documents for additional material requirements where applicable.

This document provides test methods for the measurement of the following electromagnetic characteristics of lengthwise cable management systems like conduit systems according to EN 61386 series, cable trunking systems and cable ducting systems (CTS/CDS) according to EN 50085 series and cable tray and cable ladder systems according to EN 61537: - shielding effectiveness of magnetic field, - transfer impedance. This document also provides guidance on how these characteristics can be declared and may be used.

IEC 62275:2018 specifies requirements for metallic, non-metallic and composite cable ties and their associated fixing devices used for the management and support of wiring systems in electrical installations. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2013. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) consideration of adhesive fixing devices, b) revised and updated normative references, c) modified definitions for metallic and composite cable ties, d) new definitions, e) improvement of test procedures, f) new figures for typical arrangement of test assembly for fixing devices and for integral fixing devices.

This document specifies a method for the determination of the content of halogens in Cable Management System (CMS) products or system components made completely or partly of combustible material(s). The determination is made by combustion and subsequent analysis of the combustion product by Ion Chromatography. This document specifies how CMS products or system components can be declared as halogen free. This document is for environmental performance only. Compliance with this document does not imply the absence of toxicity, corrosivity or opacity of produced smoke, or other reaction to fire characteristics. If any of these characteristics are to be evaluated, the appropriate standards can be used.

This document specifies test methods for cable management systems intended (CMS) to provide support for intrinsic fire-resistant cables in order to determine their abilities to maintain the function of electrical power cables and signal/control cables for a specified duration when subjected to fire under defined conditions. This document establishes a non-hierarchical classification for this ability. Additional devices to fix the cable management systems providing fire resistant support (CMS-support) to the building structure for example screws, anchors etc. are not covered by this document. CMS intended to provide support and fire protection for cables are tested according to EN 1366 11. This document does not apply to powertrack systems. NOTE Rules for testing CMS-support for fibre optic cables and communication cables are under consideration.

IEC 63355:2022 specifies a method for the determination of the content of halogens in cable management system (CMS) products or system components made completely or partly of combustible material(s).

This European Standard specifies a method for the determination of the content of halogens in Cable Management System (CMS) components or products made of polymeric material(s). The determination is made by combustion and subsequent analysis of the combustion product by Ion Chromatography. This standard specifies how CMS components or products can be declared as halogen free. This European Standard is for environmental performance only. Compliance with this standard does not imply the absence of toxicity, corrosivity or opacity of produced smoke, or other reaction to fire characteristics. If any of these characteristics are to be evaluated, the appropriate standards can be used. The detection limit of this test method is typically 0,025 g of halogen per kg (0,002 5 %). Halides insoluble in aqueous solution present in the original sample or produced during the combustion step are not determined by this method.
