DIN EN 4681-001:2012-12

The EN 4681 standard series describes requirements for electric cables in aluminium or copper-clad aluminium for general purposes in aircraft electrical systems. Part 001 specifies the characteristics, test methods, qualification and acceptance conditions of single-core electric cables for general purpose with conductors in aluminium or copper-clad aluminium, intended for installation in aircraft electrical systems. The insulation of these cables is designed to withstand a maximum service voltage of 600 V r.m.s. at a frequency not exceeding 2 000 Hz. The cables are divided into types, the characteristics of which are given in the product standards. Unless otherwise specified in the product standard, the tests defined in this standard apply. The standards of the EN 4681 series have been prepared by ASD-STAN, Technical Section Electrical, Avionics, with the participation of German experts of the Aerospace Standards Committee. The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) declared the Aerospace and Defence Industries Association of Europe (ASD-STAN) responsible for the preparation of European standards (EN) for the field of aerospace. The responsible German standardization committee is Working Committee NA 131-04-02 AA "Elektrische Leitungen" ("Electric cables") of the Aerospace Standards Committee at DIN.
