IEC 60245-7:2026 defines the particular requirements for heat resistant ethylene-vinyl acetate rubber insulated cables of rated voltages up to and including 450/750 V, which apply in addition to the general requirements specified in IEC 60245-1, which apply to all cables.
The tests for cables specified in the IEC 60245 series are described in IEC 63294.
IEC 60245-7:2026 includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) reference to IEC 60245-2 for the tests has been deleted and replaced by IEC 63294;
b) reference to lift cable according to IEC 60245-5 has been deleted;
c) normative references have been updated.
This document is to be used in conjunction with IEC 60245-1.
