This standard BS EN 60684-3-229:2003 Specification for flexible insulating sleeving. Specification requirements for individual types of sleeving is classified in these ICS categories:
29.035.20 Plastics and rubber insulating materials
Gives the requirements for one type of heat shrinkable, semi-flexible, polyvinylidene fluoride, flame retarded, fluid resistant sleeving that has been found suitable for use up to temperatures of 150 °C. The nominal shrink ratio is 2:1. This sleeving is normally supplied in bore sizes up to 25,4 mm and is transparent. Materials which conform to this specification meet established levels of performance. However, the selection of a material by a user for a specific application should be based on the actual requirements necessary for adequate performance in that application and not based on this specification alone.
