Overview
EN 4057-201:2005 is a CEN (European) standard in the aerospace series that defines the visual examination procedure for cable ties used in harnesses for aerospace applications. Issued as Part 201: Visual examination, it is intended to be used together with EN 4057-100 (General) and forms part of the EN 4057 test methods suite for cable ties for harnesses. The standard specifies how visual inspection shall be performed and the basic compliance requirement for specimens under inspection.
Key topics and requirements
- Scope: Visual inspection procedure for cable ties used in aerospace wiring harnesses; complements EN 4057-100.
- Inspection procedure:
- No special specimen preparation is required beyond what EN 4057-100 defines.
- Each specimen is to be examined visually using normal or corrected vision.
- No magnification (no means of magnification) is permitted during the visual examination.
- Acceptance requirement:
- All inspected specimens must comply with the requirements of the appropriate product standard (i.e., the applicable cable tie product specification).
- Normative reference:
- EN 4057-100 is indispensable for application and should be consulted for general test conditions and definitions.
Practical applications
- Incoming inspection: Use EN 4057-201 to perform routine visual checks on batches of cable ties received from suppliers before installation in aircraft harnesses.
- Production quality control: Integrate the visual examination procedure into manufacturing quality workflows to detect visible defects early (deformation, surface anomalies, molding defects as defined by applicable product standards).
- Maintenance and overhaul: Apply the standard during replacement or inspection of harness components where a quick visual verification of cable tie integrity is required.
- Supplier qualification and audits: Employ the prescribed visual method when assessing supplier compliance to aerospace cable tie specifications.
Who should use this standard
- Aerospace manufacturers and harness assemblers
- Quality assurance and inspection personnel
- Procurement and supplier quality engineers
- Maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) organizations
- Certification and compliance teams responsible for wiring-harness safety
