Overview
EN 6049-006:2012 is a CEN European product standard for self-wrapping, post-installation protection sleeves used on aerospace electrical cables and cable bundles. It specifies the required composition, dimensional classes, identification, environmental and fire performance, and test methods for flexible sleeves made from meta-aramid fibres with PPS monofilament and a water‑repellent finish. The standard supports safe, retrofit cable protection in aircraft and aerospace systems.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Composition: Woven, openable sleeving made from textured meta-aramid yarn blended with polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) monofilament. Designed to reduce fraying after cold cutting.
- Size classes: Size codes cover nominal protected bundle diameters from about 1 mm to 40 mm (multiple size codes such as 05, 08, 13, 16, 19, 25, 32, 40). Overlap angle and wall thickness are defined per size.
- Color and identification:
- Olive green (code 5), Orange (code 3 for FTI), Red (code 2 for arm systems).
- Optional tracer lines: none (dash), R = red 3 mm (arm systems), P = pink 9 mm (fuel systems).
- Temperature range: Operational from −55 °C to +200 °C.
- Mechanical and environmental performance:
- Tensile strength: minimum 0.02 N per dTex (unaged); after high temperature/fluids not less than 0.01 N per dTex.
- Sunlight exposure: minimum 45% retention of tensile strength after 40 h.
- Dynamic cut-through, abrasion, bending, vibration requirements and other mechanical tests specified.
- Fire, smoke and toxicity:
- Flammability limits (after-burn length/time and drip times) per EN 3844-1.
- Smoke density limits: Ds ≤ 200 (flaming), Ds ≤ 150 (non‑flaming).
- Toxic gas limits for HF, HCl, HCN, SO2/H2S, NO/NO2 and CO are specified (4‑minute exposure limits).
- Testing: Test methods referenced to EN 6059-100 and related EN aerospace flammability/smoke standards.
Applications and who uses this standard
- Aerospace electrical installation engineers and cable-harness designers specifying protective sleeving for new builds and retrofit work.
- Avionics maintenance and modification teams performing post‑installation cable protection.
- Suppliers and manufacturers of aerospace textile sleeving and electrical protection products.
- Procurement, certification and safety compliance teams ensuring components meet fire, smoke and toxicity constraints for aircraft interiors and systems.
