Foreword
This document (EN 50290-2-25:2013) was prepared by CLC/TC 46X "Communication cables".
The following dates are fixed:
• latest date by which this document has
(dop) 2014-09-16
to be implemented at national level by
publication of an identical national
standard or by endorsement
• latest date by which the national
(dow) 2016-09-16
standards conflicting with this
document have to be withdrawn
This document supersedes EN 50290-2-25:2002.
EN 50290-2-25:2013 includes the following significant technical changes with respect to EN 50290-2-25:2002:
− The document has been entirely restructured.
− The main change is the introduction of the new Table 1 for the test to be performed on granules.
This document should be read in conjunction with EN 50290-2-20, the product standard EN 50288 (all parts) and
other applicable product standards.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. CENELEC [and/or CEN] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CENELEC by the European Commission and the
European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s).
This standard covers the Principle Elements of the Safety Objectives for Electrical Equipment Designed for Use
within Certain Voltage Limits (LVD - 2006/95/EC).
EN 50290-2, Communication cables, is divided into the following sub-parts:
− Part 2-1: Common design rules and construction;
− Part 2-2: Common design rules and construction  Polyethylene insulation for multi element metallic data
cables for indoor application [currently at Enquiry stage];
− Part 2-3: Common design rules and construction  Polyethylene insulation for coaxial cables [currently at
Enquiry stage];
− Part 2-4: Common design rules and construction  Polypropylene insulation for coaxial cables [currently at
Enquiry stage];
− Part 2-20: Common design rules and construction  General;
− Part 2-21: Common design rules and construction  PVC insulation compounds;
− Part 2-22: Common design rules and construction  PVC sheathing compounds;

1 Scope
This European Standard gives specific requirements for PP compounds to be used for multi-element metallic
data cables for indoor application. Type 1 is typically a copolymer with better low temperature properties. Type 2
is typically a homopolymer with superior hardness giving better crush resistance.
Using compound and type test data as outlined in this standard, the compound supplier will have sufficient data
to demonstrate compliance and warrant that the material is suitable for the specified application.
