ASD, prior to its presentation to CEN.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an
identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by December 2019, and conflicting national standards shall
be withdrawn at the latest by December 2019.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document supersedes EN 4608-001:2006.

1 Scope
This document specifies the required characteristics and test procedures for fire resistant or fire proof
electrical cables for use in aircraft electrical systems. They shall be operated at a rated AC voltage of
600 V ac, a frequency of maximum 2 000 Hz and a long term temperature of up to 260 °C (ambient
temperature plus temperatures rise in conductor).
These cables shall also maintain a specific dielectric strength when they are subjected to a flame of
1 100 °C after five (5) minutes (fire resistant) or 15 minutes (fire proof) exposure.
