Overview
EN 4057-405:2005 - "Aerospace series - Cable ties for harnesses - Test methods - Part 405: Compass safe distance" is a CEN-adopted test method that defines how to determine the compass safe distance of cable ties that use metallic locking devices. The procedure quantifies the distance at which a cable tie produces a 1° deviation on a compass (magnetometer) and is intended to be used together with EN 4057-100 (General test methods).
Key topics and requirements
- Purpose: Measure magnetic interference from cable ties with metal locks and establish the minimum safe separation from a magnetic compass.
- Apparatus: A sensitive magnetometer/compass readable to within a fifth of a degree (0.2°) with corresponding sensitivity.
- Magnetic field condition: Tests are performed in a uniform magnetic field whose horizontal component has a value of 0,18 line/cm2 ± 10% (as specified in the standard).
- Test layout:
- Mark an area with magnetic North–South and East–West lines.
- Place the magnetometer at the intersection point.
- Position the cable tie on the East–West line with the head closest to the magnetometer.
- Start at a distance giving ≈2° deviation, move outward until ≈0.5°, and record deviations at intervals.
- Plot deviation vs. distance for outward and inward movements to check reproducibility.
- Result: The compass safe distance is the measured distance (in millimetres) from the compass pivot to the nearest point on the cable tie that corresponds to a 1° compass deviation.
- Conformance: Samples tested must meet requirements specified in the applicable product standard (see EN 4057 product requirements).
Applications
- Establishing installation and routing rules in aircraft harnesses to prevent compass interference.
- Incoming inspection and type testing for aerospace cable ties with metallic locks.
- Supplier qualification, procurement specifications, and quality assurance testing for avionics and aircraft harness manufacturers.
- Laboratory test protocols for aerospace testing facilities and certification bodies verifying magnetic compatibility.
