Overview
EN 60684-3-151:1998 (CLC) is a European adoption of IEC 60684-3-151 that sets requirements for flexible insulating sleeving made by extrusion from a blend of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and acrylonitrile (nitrile) elastomers. This sheet covers non-heat-shrinkable, general-purpose sleeving intended for electrical and mechanical insulation applications. Sleeving of this type is normally available with internal diameters up to 25 mm and in a range of opaque colours (black, brown, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet, grey, white, pink and green/yellow).
Key Topics
- Material scope: Specifies sleeving extruded from PVC/nitrile rubber blends (general-purpose compounds).
- Form factor: Applies to non-heat-shrinkable, extruded tubular sleeving with internal diameters up to 25 mm.
- Colour options: Lists standard opaque colours for identification and safety marking.
- Specification purpose: Defines the requirements manufacturers and purchasers use to ensure consistent product characteristics and interchangeability.
Note: This document is part of the EN/IEC 60684 series addressing flexible insulating sleeving; it provides type-specific requirements for this particular material and application.
Applications
EN 60684-3-151 is relevant where durable, flexible, non-heat-shrink insulating sleeving is needed, including:
- Electrical insulation of wires and cables in harnesses and assemblies
- Mechanical protection and abrasion resistance for wiring runs
- Colour-coding and identification of conductors
- General-purpose insulating applications in electronics, appliances, automotive, and industrial equipment
Who Uses This Standard
- Manufacturers of extruded PVC/nitrile insulating sleeving to specify product characteristics and production control
- Design engineers and specifiers selecting sleeving materials for assemblies and equipment
- Purchasing and procurement professionals requiring conformity to EN/IEC standards
- Testing and quality laboratories performing verification and acceptance checks
- Regulatory and compliance teams ensuring products meet harmonized European requirements
Related Standards
- EN/IEC 60684 series - broader family covering flexible insulating sleeving (other parts/sheets address alternative materials, heat-shrinkable types, and specific performance classes)
- National adoptions (e.g., SIST EN 60684-3-151) that reproduce the EN text for local use
