This draft European Standard is submitted to CEN members for enquiry. It has been drawn up by the Technical Committee ASD-
STAN.
If this draft becomes a European Standard, CEN members are bound to comply with the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations
which stipulate the conditions for giving this European Standard the status of a national standard without any alteration.

This draft European Standard was established by CEN in three official versions (English, French, German). A version in any other
language made by translation under the responsibility of a CEN member into its own language and notified to the CEN-CENELEC

European foreword
This document (prEN 2283:2025) has been prepared by ASD-STAN.
After enquiries and votes carried out in accordance with the rules of this Association, this document has
received the approval of the National Associations and the Official Services of the member countries of
ASD-STAN, prior to its presentation to CEN.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 2283:2010.
This document includes the following significant technical changes with respect to EN 2283:2010:
— a wiring category D is introduced for operating voltages above 230/400 V a.c.;
— a paragraph for partial discharge testing is added.
Introduction
Due to the diversity of aircraft, manufacturing and installing methods for wiring, the tests defined in
Clause 1 are carried out at different stages in the manufacturing programme:
— after assembly of cables into bundles before installation in the aircraft;
— after installation of bundles into the aircraft;
— after repairs or modifications.
1 Scope
This document specifies:
— the tests for finished wiring, including connectors and, if necessary, terminals, terminal ends, junction
boxes, circuit breakers, etc.;
— the requirements for verification of aircraft electrical wiring;
— continuity of circuits;
— dielectric strength;
— insulation resistance;
— partial discharge for operating voltages above 230/400 V a.c. (see also TR 4907 ).
These tests do not concern equipment installed in the aircraft (see operation of systems) and do not apply
to the wiring used in instrumentation.

4 Tests
4.1 General
NOTE For all the tests, national safety regulations can apply.
These tests may be carried out manually or on automated equipment. In the latter case, the equipment
operates with programmable sequences and trip thresholds.
The test shall be stopped as soon as a fault is detected, or the fault shall be memorized. The voltage shall
increase or decrease in a regular manner to each of the scheduled values and the measurements shall be
made after stabilization.
Test equipment can be capable of performing the dielectric strength and the insulation resistance tests
in a single operation, according to the requirements laid down in Table 2.
4.2 Continuity
The test enables to verify the conformity of cables, bundles and their connections with the design
documents.
The direct current or alternating current voltage shall not exceed 28 V.
The test shall be carried out with equipment according to EN IEC 61557-4.
The value of the current passed shall not cause damage to any part of the circuits.
4.3 Dielectric strength
The test enables to verify the insulation has the operating efficiency to withstand the voltage (limits)
given in EN 2282.
When the permitted leakage current is exceeded, the warning or protection system shall operate to avoid
damage to the components being tested.
It should be noted that in alternating current tests, the capacitive leakage currents add (vectorially) to
the fault currents detected. If the capacitive leakage current is too high a DC test voltage shall be used.
After each dielectric strength test, the measurement point shall be grounded in order to discharge the
circuit (except when this circuit remains connected to the reference point).
4.4 Insulation resistance
The test enables to verify the insulation resistance of the wi
