Overview - EN 3475-702:2002 (Screen pushback capability)
EN 3475-702:2002 is a European aerospace test method that specifies how to assess the pushback capability of the braid screen on a finished aircraft cable. Published under the AECMA/CEN process, this part is intended to be used together with EN 3475-100 (general test method requirements). The standard defines the physical requirement for how far the braided screen can be moved back from the cable end and subsequently repositioned, ensuring consistent mechanical behaviour of the cable screen during assembly and service.
Key topics and requirements
- Scope: Method for assessing pushback capability of the braid screen of a finished aircraft cable.
- Normative reference: Must be used together with EN 3475-100 (general test methods).
- Minimum pushback: It shall be possible to push the braid screen back at least 100 mm from the cable end.
- Reposition requirement: After pushback, it shall be possible to draw the screen forward again so that a maximum of 20 mm of cable remains uncovered.
- Focus areas: braid screen mechanics, finished-cable testing, repeatable acceptance criteria for screen displacement.
Practical applications and who uses EN 3475-702
This test method has direct practical value for stakeholders involved in aerospace electrical wiring and cable systems:
- Aerospace cable manufacturers - to qualify finished cables and verify braid construction meets assembly and handling needs.
- Cable assembly and harness workshops - to ensure screens can be pulled back for termination and then restored within acceptable limits.
- Independent testing laboratories - to perform acceptance and conformance testing against aerospace procurement specifications.
- Quality and certification engineers - to demonstrate compliance with supplier contracts and regulatory quality systems.
- Procurement and specification writers - to reference objective test criteria (pushback / forward limits) in purchase orders and technical specifications.
Benefits include more reliable connector terminations, predictable shielding handling during installation, and measurable acceptance criteria for supplier control.
