INTERNATIONAL ELECTROTECHNICAL COMMISSION
STANDARD COLOURS FOR INSULATION
FOR LOW-FREQUENCY CABLES AND WIRES
FOREWORD
1) The formal decisions or agreements of the I EC on technical matters, prepared by Technical Committees on which all the
National Committees having a special interest therein are represented, express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the subjects dealt with.
2)
They have the form of recommendations for international use and they are accepted by the National Committees in that
sense.
3) In order to promote international unification, the I EC expresses the wish that all National Committees should adopt
the text of the IEC recommendation for their national rules in so far as national conditions will permit. Any divergence
between the IEC recommendation and the corresponding national rules should, as far as possible, be clearly indicated
in the latter.
PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION
This standard has been prepared by Sub-Committee 46C: Low-frequency Cables and Wires, of I EC Technical Committee
No. 46: Cables, Wires and Waveguides for Telecommunication Equipment.
Following the discussions of a first draft at the meeting held in Baden-Baden in 1965, a revised draft was sent through
the IEC Central Office to the C.C.I.T.T. for consideration. As the great majority of postal administrations approached
had signified their acceptance, the draft was submitted to the National Committees for approval under the Six Months'
Rule in June 1967, then under the Two Months' Procedure in May 1968.
The following countries voted explicitly in favour of the publication:
Australia Korea (Democratic People's
Austria Republic of)
Belgium Netherlands

Iran Socialist Republics
Israel United Kingdom

PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION
This standard forms the second edition of I EC Publication 304 (1969).
Following the discussions of the meeting held in Florence in 1978, it was agreed to incorporate the amendments submitted
to the National Committees for approval under the Six Months' Rule in February 1976 and March 1977 into a new edition.
The decision to consider a numerical code for colour abbreviated designations was taken during the Ljubljana meeting
in 1972.
The draft, Document 46C(Central Office)77, was submitted to the National Committees for approval under the Six Months'
Rule in February 1976.
