3 Further Requirements
3.1 Cable Construction
3.1.1 Conductors
The conductors made of aluminium or copper must be executed as stranded, annealed
compacted conductors. The conductors must be circular or sector-shaped conductors.
The conductors can be made as solid conductor, if agreed.
3.1.1a Option

Copper conductors (< 16 mm²) are executed as stranded for special vibrating installations.

3.1.2 Insulation
No residues or contamination may be present in or on the insulation.
To prevent moisture penetration in joints, the insulation on the plain faces of a sector
shaped conductor may not curve in.
To prevent the insulation for shrinking to much after insulation the value of allowed
shrinking must not be more than 2% according to Shrinkage test HD 603-1 table 2 A type
DIX 3.

3.1.3 Inner Covering

The inner covering could be made as lapped or extruded covering according to the
standard.
The common inner covering may adhere slightly to the conductors. However, it must be
possible to remove it completely and without tools during assembly.
The filler rope must not be hygroscopic; it must be possible to remove easily without us-
ing a knife or other sharp tools.

3.1.4 Concentric Conductors (valid for types AKKJ, AXKJ, FKKJ, EKKJ and AXQJ)
According to standard, except for the following cable types if demanded which should be
as follow:
AXKJ 1 x 4 x 50/29, AXKJ 1 x 4 x 95/57, AXKJ 1 x 4 x 150/88, AXKJ 1 x 4 x 240/146
AXQJ 1 x 4 x 50/29, AXQJ 1 x 4 x 95/57, AXQJ 1 x 4 x 150/88, AXQJ 1 x 4 x 240/146

3.1.5 Outer Sheath

The outer sheath of PVC or PE must be applied continuously even, smooth and without
defects. No residues or contamination may be present in or on the outer sheath.
The overall section of the cable must be circular with a maximum deviation of smaller
than 5 % of the outer diameter, measured on two axes shifted by 90°.

3.1.6 Identification Marks and Symbols

The marking must be resistant to the conditions in the ground.
It shall consist of manufacturer’s name, code designation, nominal cross-sectional area of
conductor and metallic screen (if any), rated voltage, year of production with last two dig-
its, length marks with indication in meters.

PVC sheathed cables shall in addition be marked with the flame retardance class
(e.g. F2 or F4 A/B/C/D).
The meter embossing must be applied continuously length without discontinuities.
Deviation of meter embossing: reasonable accuracy ±0,5 %

4 Approval and Prequalification

The conditions for the application of the product specified in this specification are the
presence of a manufacturer-dependent technical product approval and the existence of a
supplier inspection system.
The technical product approval may be given, if the manufacturer/supplier – at his own
cost – delivers proof of the product characteristics required by the user and ensured by
the manufacturer or the supplier by means of a cable sample, if he delivers proof of the
aptitude for operational use by a corresponding test run or by references, if he delivers
the required test certificates and if he fulfils possible requirements of the user.
The realisation of the approval inspection, or the sampling, can also be performed by an
inspector named by the users.
The user is entitled to inspect or to have inspected the product characteristics compliance
as well as quality parameters.
Any change to a product approved on basis of this specification is subject to new approv-
al or renewed negotiation. This is also valid for the manufacturing process and the used
materials. Changes during a standing order are only allowed by mutual consent. Precon-
dition for the consent and the positive assessment by the user is the proof of an equiva-
lent or higher quality, or of improved benefit, respectively, e. g. in the scope of further
technical development.
In certain, justified cases, possible subcontractors have to be disclosed upon the user’s
request.
If the contractor announces new developments, and if these cannot be realised within an
agreed deadline, the mandate may cancel the order.

4.1 Management, Quality, Environmental and Safety Control

The manufacturer has to provide proof of an integrated quality control system according
to the standard EN ISO 9001, which guarantees a continuous assurance of the unchang-
ing product properties as requested by the user and agreed upon by the manufacturer.
For the environmental safety the supplier shall present a valid control system according
to EN ISO 14001.

4.2 Inspection and Testing

The buyer reserves the right to inspect the ordered cables himself or by ordered persons
with respect to the compliance to all technical requirements and/or to accept them in the
factory.
The acceptance of the cables ordered depends on the result of the inspections and on
the content of the documents stated in paragraph 5 of this specification.
The cables must come from the current production.
Stock goods older than 18 months are only accepted in mutual consent.

5 Documentation
The delivery note, or an appendix in form of an overall list accompanying the delivery
note, must include the following information apart from the standard indications:
• Cable drum number
• Delivery length of each cable drum
• Meter embossing at the outer and inner end of the cable on each cable drum

On demand of the user, the manufacturer / supplier must present the following:
• A valid QA-certificate for the manufacturing facility according to EN ISO 9001.
The entity of certification must be accredited a member entity of the EAC.
• Routine tests report of each delivered cable drum
• Sample tests reports of each production lot of delivered cable types
• Type test reports

• The declaration of conformity of the manufacturer for additional requirements from this
specification.
All kind of test reports are archived by the manufacturer for at least ten years.
All record, documents and descriptions as well as indication and type signs shall be exe-
cuted in Swedish or English. Translations of other languages have to be handed over to-
gether with original text.

6 Packing and Transport

• The cable drums should be made according to “K“ type of standard SS 8428 01.
They must be in a flawless state and sufficiently smooth on the core.
• On the cable drums weatherproof and well legible labels shall be fixed,
containing the information as follows:
- cable manufacturer
- complete cable identification according to applied standard
- delivery length (in meter)
- overall weight
- cable drum number
- rolling direction arrow
• The cable ends must be fixed in a way that the ends cannot loosen during transport.
The fastening must be performed without damaging the cable.
• The cable ends must be sealed with adhesive-coated shrink caps in a water-proof,
transport-safe and durable way.
• Lagging is only admissible if demanded be the user.
Protection films or other packing materials are admissible.
• Delivery lengths must be complied with a maximum deviation of ± 0,5 %, if not other-
wise agreed.

• Short length quantities are only accepted after previous agreement.

• If not otherwise agreed the maximum overall drum diameter shall not exceed 3,0 me-
ter.

7 Disposal
With the delivery of the cables, the manufacturer/supplier undertakes to indicate the pos-
sibilities for disposal/recycling based upon the corresponding laws, regulations and ordi-
nances of Sweden.
