EN 50363 contains, in its various parts, the requirements for insulating, sheathing and covering
materials that are used for harmonized low voltage energy cables.
EN 50363 is published as this Part 0 together with a series of separately published parts as listed in
Table 1 and these parts require that Part 0 be read in conjunction with them. It also includes a list of
the test methods called up in the particular parts of the standard, with references to the current
editions of other standards in which the relevant test methods are given.
Materials for use specifically in utility power cables are not covered by this EN. They can be found in
HD 603, HD 604, HD 620, HD 621, HD 622, HD 626 and HD 627.
Materials for use specifically in communications cables are the responsibility of CENELEC TC 46X.
At present such materials are given in EN 50290-2-20 to -2-30 inclusive.
