IEC 60811 (series) specifies the test methods to be used for testing non-metallic materials of all types of cables. These test methods are intended to be referenced in standards for cable construction and for cable materials. This Part 501 gives the procedure for determining the mechanical properties, which typically applies to crosslinked and thermoplastic compounds used for insulating and sheathing materials.
