Overview
EN 60684-3-233:2006 (CLC / IEC 60684-3-233) specifies requirements for heat-shrinkable fluoroelastomer sleeving that is flame retarded, fluid resistant, and has a nominal shrink ratio 2:1 for service up to 200 °C. The standard covers two types: Type A (thick wall) and Type B (thin wall). Sleeving is normally supplied in black and in expanded/recovered internal diameters up to 51 mm (table data include some larger options).
Key topics and technical requirements
- Materials & types: Fluoroelastomer, flame-retarded and resistant to selected fluids (except phosphate ester hydraulic fluids).
- Designations: Standard labelling format (e.g., Sleeving IEC 60684‑3‑233‑A‑12,7/6,4‑BK).
- Dimensional limits: Expanded/recovered diameters and recovered wall thicknesses defined in Tables 1 and 2; mass per unit length specified per size.
- Mechanical properties:
- Tensile strength: minimums specified (typ. ≥ 8 MPa; post‑age test values also listed).
- Elongation at break: minimums (e.g., 150–250% depending on test condition).
- Secant modulus at 2% elongation: typically 30–100 MPa.
- Thermal requirements:
- Short-term heat shock and heat ageing tests (heat ageing at 250 °C ±5 K).
- Long‑term ageing: 3 000 h at the maximum recommended temperature (200 °C ±5 K) to provide workable thermal endurance data.
- Electrical properties: Breakdown voltage (methods and minimums defined in Table 4) and volume resistivity requirements, including after damp heat.
- Flame & chemical resistance:
- Flame propagation limits (max burning time 30 s, max length burned 75 mm).
- Resistance to selected fluids per Table 5 and copper corrosion limits.
- Other: Colour fastness, water absorption (max 1.0%), dimensional stability on storage, and test conditioning (e.g., pre-shrink at 200 °C).
Applications and users
This standard is relevant for designers, manufacturers and quality/acceptance test laboratories working with:
- Electrical harnesses and cable assemblies
- Automotive, aerospace and defence wiring systems (high‑temperature circuits)
- Industrial equipment and high-temperature process instrumentation
- Oil & gas and chemical plants requiring fluid‑resistant, flame‑retarded insulation
- Suppliers specifying heat-shrinkable sleeving for procurement and compliance
Use EN 60684-3-233 when you need verified performance for high-temperature, flame-retardant, fluid-resistant sleeving with a 2:1 shrink ratio. Selection should be based on actual application requirements (temperature, fluid exposure, mechanical stresses), not only on the standard.

with the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations which stipulate the conditions for giving this European Standard
the status of a national standard without any alteration.
Up-to-date lists and bibliographical references concerning such national standards may be obtained on
application to the Central Secretariat or to any CENELEC member.

Foreword
The text of document 15/231/FDIS, future edition 2 of IEC 60684-3-233, prepared by IEC TC 15,
Standards on specifications for electrical insulating materials, was submitted to the IEC-CENELEC
parallel vote and was approved by CENELEC as EN 60684-3-233 on 2005-11-01.
This European Standard supersedes EN 60684-3-233:1998.
The main change with regard to EN 60684-3-233:1998 concerns the replacement of the thermal
endurance test, according to EN 60216, by a long-term ageing test, i.e. 3 000 h, at the maximum
recommended temperature for such use, in order to furnish thermal test data within a workable time
frame.
The following dates were fixed:
– latest date by which the EN has to be implemented
at national level by publication of an identical
(dop) 2006-11-01
national standard or by endorsement
– latest date by which the national standards conflicting
(dow) 2008-11-01
with the EN have to be withdrawn
This European Standard makes reference to International Standards. Where the International Standard
referred to has been endorsed as a European Standard or a home-grown European Standard exists, this
European Standard shall be applied instead. Pertinent information can be found on the CENELEC web

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
