This specification covers crosslinked polychloroprene compounds suitable for use as outer coverings or jackets on electrical cables for general-purpose, black heavy-duty and black extra-heavy-duty service.

Formerly under the jurisdiction of Committee D09 on Electrical and Electronic Insulating Materials, this specification was withdrawn in January 2006. The Executive Committee felt strongly that Committee D09 could not support the practice of maintaining a standard for which the expertise may not lie within the current committee membership, or for which the utilization of the standard is questionable.

1.1 This specification covers crosslinked polychloroprene compounds suitable for use as outer coverings or jackets on electrical cables for general-purpose, black heavy-duty and black extra-heavy-duty service.

1.2 These jackets are not recommended for installation at a temperature lower than -25 °C.

1.3 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.
