Overview
EN 4056-006:2014 is a CEN product standard in the Aerospace series that specifies the characteristics of PEEK cable ties for aircraft cable harnesses. It covers cable ties manufactured entirely from PEEK (polyetheretherketone), with either internal or external serrations, intended for controlled-tension installation and continuous use in the operating temperature range -55 °C to 240 °C. This standard is intended to be used together with EN 4056-001 (technical specification).
Key topics and requirements
- Materials & temperature rating
- Ties made entirely from PEEK; temperature rating code H = -55 °C to 240 °C (non‑UV resistant).
- Standard colour: unpigmented light brown/beige (colour code 9); other colours per EN 4056-001.
- Dimensions and mechanical strength
- Two size codes defined with minimum loop tensile strengths: Size A = 230 N, Size B = 380 N.
- Application must use a controlled tensioning tool; maximum recommended application forces: A = 170 N, B = 280 N (verify per MS 90387 and EN 4057-407).
- Serration variants
- Variant A = external serration; Variant B = internal serration (internal serration requires continuous support at both sides of the serrations).
- Burning behaviour, smoke and toxicity
- Smoke density limits: Dm ≤ 200 (flaming) and ≤ 150 (non‑flaming) per EN 2825.
- Toxic gas concentration limits (after 4 min) include HF 100 ppm, HCl 150 ppm, HCN 150 ppm, SO2 100 ppm, H2S 100 ppm, NO/NO2 100 ppm, CO 1000 ppm as tested to EN 2826.
- Flammability classification requires flames to extinguish within 5 s (Class 1 or 2 criteria).
- Testing & conditioning
- Required tests listed (EN 4057 series): visual, dimensional, flammability, resistance to fluids, loop tensile (room and temperature/aging), life cycle (vibration), low temperature installation, application tool verification.
- Conditioning for PEEK ties: (23 ± 2) °C with uncontrolled humidity (non‑hygroscopic).
Applications and users
- Practical uses: securing and routing cable harnesses in aircraft and aerospace platforms where high temperature resistance, low smoke and controlled toxicity are required (e.g., engine bay, environmental control/avionics enclosures).
- Primary users:
- Aerospace designers and wiring harness manufacturers
- Component suppliers and cable‑tie manufacturers
- QA/qualification engineers, procurement and maintenance teams
- Certification bodies validating materials and flammability/smoke performance
