(Main)Mineral insulated cables and their terminations with a rated voltage not exceeding 750 V - Part 1: Cables
Mineral insulated cables and their terminations with a rated voltage not exceeding 750 V - Part 1: Cables
Applies to mineral insulated general wiring cables with copper or copper alloy sheath and copper conductors and with rated voltages of 500 V and 750 V. Provision is made for a corrosion-resistant extruded outer covering over the copper sheath, when required. This outer covering is not specified for the purpose of electrical insulation of the metal sheath. Requirements for terminations for use with these cables are specified in EN 60702-2. The purpose of this standard is to specify mineral insulated cables that are safe and reliable when properly used, to state the manufacturing requirements and characteristics to achieve this, and to specify methods for checking conformity with those requirements.
Mineralisolierte Leitungen mit einer Nennspannung bis 750 V - Teil 1: Leitungen
Câbles à isolant minéral et leurs terminaisons de tension assignée ne dépassant pas 750 V - Partie 1: Câbles
S'applique aux câbles à isolant minéral pour usage général, ayant une gaine en cuivre ou en alliage de cuivre et des âmes conductrices en cuivre, de tensions assignées 500 V et 750 V. Elle précise les dispositions qui s'appliquent au revêtement externe en matériau extrudé résistant à la corrosion recouvrant la gaine en cuivre, lorsque cela est exigé. Ce revêtement externe n'est pas destiné à assurer l'isolation électrique de la gaine métallique. Les exigences pour les terminaisons à utiliser avec ces câbles sont spécifiées dans la EN 60702-2. L'objet de la présente norme est de déterminer les règles auxquelles doivent répondre les câbles à isolant minéral afin qu'ils soient sûrs et fiables lorsqu'ils sont correctement utilisés, de fixer dans ce but leurs caractéristiques et les prescriptions relatives à leur fabrication, et de préciser les méthodes pour la vérification de la conformité à ces prescriptions.

Overview
EN 60702-1:2002 is the CLC/CENELEC European adoption of IEC 60702-1:2002 for mineral insulated cables used in general wiring with rated voltages up to 750 V. The standard applies specifically to mineral insulated cables with copper or copper-alloy sheaths and copper conductors, covering rated voltages of 500 V and 750 V. Its purpose is to define manufacturing requirements, performance characteristics and conformity checking methods so that these cables are safe and reliable in normal use. (Cable terminations are addressed in EN 60702-2.)
Key topics and requirements
- Scope and construction: Requirements for mineral insulated general wiring cables with copper conductors and copper/copper-alloy sheaths; provision for an optional corrosion-resistant extruded outer covering over the copper sheath (not intended as electrical insulation).
- Voltage ratings: Covers designs for 500 V and 750 V applications (rated voltage not exceeding 750 V).
- Manufacturing and characteristics: Specifies production criteria and key characteristics that ensure mechanical, electrical and environmental performance (materials, conductor dimensions, sheath integrity).
- Conformity assessment: Defines methods for testing and checking conformity with the specified manufacturing and performance requirements to confirm safety and reliability.
- Referenced test areas: Normative references in the standard link to established tests for conductor dimensions and materials, fire performance and circuit integrity, smoke density, and gas corrosivity, reflecting concerns for fire behaviour and material properties in installation environments.
Applications and who uses it
EN 60702-1 targets professionals involved in design, manufacture, testing and procurement of mineral insulated wiring:
- Cable manufacturers producing mineral insulated general wiring cables with copper sheaths and conductors.
- Electrical designers and specification engineers selecting cables for building services, industrial plants and safety-critical installations where mineral insulation properties are required.
- Installers and contractors who need to verify that supplied cables conform to European requirements.
- Testing laboratories and conformity assessors performing the tests and verifications referenced in the standard.
- Fire safety and maintenance engineers concerned with cable behaviour under fire conditions, smoke emission and gas corrosivity.
Related standards
- EN 60702-2:2002 - Terminations for use with these mineral insulated cables.
- Referenced IEC/EN documents cover conductor standards, cable fire tests (circuit integrity, single cable flame tests), smoke and gas corrosivity tests and common material test methods (see normative references in EN 60702-1).
This standard is essential when specifying or validating mineral insulated cables for low-voltage wiring up to 750 V, ensuring consistent manufacturing practice and verified performance for safe installations.
