Overview
SIST EN 4056-004:2015 is a European standard published by CEN that specifies the product requirements for plastic cable ties used in aerospace harnesses. These cable ties are designed for controlled tension installation on aircraft cable bundles and operate reliably within temperature ranges from -55 °C up to 105 °C or 150 °C. EN 4056-004 is part of the Aerospace series standards for cable ties and complements EN 4056-001, which covers technical specifications. This standard ensures uniformity, safety, and performance of cable ties critical in aerospace electrical systems and wiring harnesses.
Key Topics
Scope & Application
Defines cable ties manufactured entirely from plastic materials featuring either internal or external serrations. Intended for use in aircraft cable harnesses under controlled tension to secure wiring bundles efficiently.Temperature Ratings & Material Properties
Cable ties covered under this standard operate within these temperature classes:- Code E: -55 °C to 105 °C (Non-UV resistant)
- Code F: -55 °C to 105 °C (UV resistant)
- Code G: -55 °C to 150 °C (Non-UV resistant)
Dimensions and Mechanical Strength
Detailed dimensions and loop tensile strength requirements are specified for various size codes (P to W). Mechanical properties ensure ties hold securely under expected operating stresses.Flammability and Safety
Cable ties conform to strict flammability classes (Class 1 and Class 2). The materials must meet burning behavior tests (EN 2825 and EN 2826), ensuring limited smoke density and low toxic gas emissions during combustion, critical for aerospace safety.Testing and Quality Assurance
Includes visual inspections, tensile strength tests, heat aging, UV resistance, fluid resistance, low-temperature installation, and vibration endurance. Quality control aligns with EN 4056-001 to guarantee product reliability for aerospace use.Variant Codes
Two variants based on serration type:- A: External serrations
- B: Internal serrations (with reinforced strap edges)
Application Tools
Installation requires specialized tensioning tools complying with MS 90387 and EN 4057-407 to ensure correct tension application without exceeding force limits.
Applications
Aerospace Electrical Harnesses
Essential for bundling and securing electrical cables in aircraft, ensuring organized routing and mechanical protection.High-Temperature Environments
Suitable for use in cabin, engine compartments, and avionics bays exposed to temperature extremes.UV and Chemical Exposure Conditions
UV resistant variants optimize tie durability for exposed areas, while fluid resistance supports application near hydraulic and fuel lines.Safety-Critical Installations
Flammability and toxicity requirements minimize risks in fire scenarios, making these cable ties compliant with stringent aerospace safety standards.
