Overview

prEN 6049-007 is a draft CEN/Aero standard in the Aerospace series that specifies product requirements for self-wrapping protection sleeves in meta-aramid fibres intended for post‑installation protection of electrical cables and cable bundles. The sleeve is a flexible, water‑repellent, textile sleeving made from a woven blend of meta‑aramid continuous yarn and PEEK monofilament, designed for aerospace use with an operating temperature range of −55 °C to 260 °C. The document updates EN 6049‑007:2012 (introducing a new size 03) and sets performance, marking and test requirements for mechanical, thermal, flammability, smoke and electrical behaviour.

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Composition and ID: Woven blend of textured meta‑aramid fibres and PEEK monofilament; 9 mm ivory tracer line in the middle; colour: light olive green (code 5).
  • Temperature range: −55 °C minimum to 260 °C maximum operating temperature.
  • Electrical protection limits: Can provide electrical protection under specified conditions - tested at 115 VAC / 400 Hz, 15 A max per conductor (EN 6059‑502); each specimen must withstand 1 500 VAC voltage proof test (EN 6059‑501).
  • Dimensions & sizes: Defined size codes (examples include 03, 05, 08, 13, 19, 25, 32, 40) with overlap angles, wall thickness and mass per metre; new size 03 added for optimized fit.
  • Mechanical and environmental tests: Mandated test suite from the EN 6059 series (visual inspection, dimensions, bending, abrasion, tensile strength, dynamic cut‑through, vibration, fluid resistance/absorption, mould growth).
  • Fire, smoke and toxicity: Flammability limits (EN 3844‑1), smoke density (EN 2825) and gas toxicity (EN 2826) with defined pass criteria.
  • Quality and marking: Qualification to technical specification EN 6049‑001; QA per aerospace quality management (e.g. EN 9133); packaging marking per EN 6049‑001.

Applications and users

  • Typical uses: post‑installation mechanical protection of single cables and cable bundles in aircraft and spacecraft, local abrasion and thermal protection, supplementary electrical protection where specified.
  • Who uses it: aerospace OEMs, electrical harness manufacturers, cable installers, material and component suppliers, procurement specialists, test laboratories and certification bodies responsible for cable protection systems.

Related standards

  • EN 6049‑001 (technical specification / qualification)
  • EN 6059‑100 series (test methods for protection sleeves)
  • EN 2825 / EN 2826 (smoke density and toxicity)
  • EN 3844‑1 (flammability small burner test)
  • EN 9133 (qualification / QA procedures)
