This standard specifies test methods and requirements for basic and high-performance round, screened and unscreened, multi-core sheathed cables, intended for use in road vehicle applications.
The individual cores of unscreened cables must be in accordance with GB/T 25085-2010. Other cores may be used but, in these cases, the construction and tests required to ensure functionality of these cores must be agreed between the customer and supplier. See GB/T 25085-2010 for temperature classes.
