Overview
EN 2854-003:2021 is a CEN aerospace product standard that defines the characteristics of electrical cables intended for on‑board aircraft systems with operating temperatures from ‑55 °C to 260 °C. It applies to single‑ and multi‑core cables with nominal conductor cross sections equal to or greater than 5 mm². The standard is part of the Aerospace series and supersedes EN 2854‑003:2009.
Keywords: EN 2854‑003:2021, aerospace cable standard, high‑temperature aircraft cables, on‑board electrical systems, polyimide/PTFE cable insulation.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope and sizing
- Covers cables for aircraft use at extreme temperatures (‑55 °C to 260 °C) for cross sections ≥ 5 mm².
- Provides nominal section, linear resistance, external diameter and mass for code sizes (e.g., codes 051, 090, 140 … 107).
- Materials and construction
- Conductors referenced to EN 2083 and EN 4434 (copper/copper‑alloy conductor specifications).
- Insulation: taped layers of polyimide / PTFE / glass fibre impregnated with PTFE.
- Cabling and multi‑core construction referenced to EN 2235 and EN 2854‑002.
- Required characteristics and tests
- Incorporates applicable EN 3475 test methods (visual, mass, dimensions, ohmic resistance, voltage proof, insulation resistance, continuity).
- High‑temperature tests: accelerated ageing and shrinkage/delamination at ~310 °C; thermal shock tests at ~290 °C.
- Mechanical and durability tests: cold bend, bending, notch propagation, scrape abrasion, tensile tests on conductors.
- Safety and environmental tests: flammability (maximum burning time 3 s), smoke density and toxicity tests.
- Flexibility test forces specified by nominal section (e.g., 20 N for 5 mm² up to 75 N for 107 mm²).
- Quality and identification
- Quality assurance per EN 9133.
- Designation, marking and identification per EN 2854‑002 and TR 6058.
- Packaging and delivery lengths per EN 2084.
Applications
- Use for on‑board aircraft power and distribution wiring where cables must withstand elevated temperatures (e.g., hot zones, proximity to engines, environmental control systems).
- Suited for primary power conductors and heavy current runs in commercial, military and space‑related aircraft systems where cross sections are ≥ 5 mm².
Who should use this standard
- Aircraft OEMs and integrators
- Aerospace cable manufacturers and suppliers
- Avionics and electrical system designers and engineers
- Maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) organizations
- Procurement, certification and compliance teams
Related standards
- EN 2083, EN 2084, EN 2235, EN 3475 series (test methods), EN 2854‑002 (general), EN 4434, EN 9133, TR 6058.
EN 2854‑003:2021 provides clear product requirements for high‑temperature aerospace cables - essential for manufacturers, designers and certifiers working on reliable, compliant aircraft electrical systems.
