Cover Plates and Cover Tapes for the Protection and Location Warning of Buried Cables or Buried Conduits in Underground Installations
Also Known As:
BS EN 50520:2020 standard provides guidelines and specifications for the design, testing, and usage of cover plates and cover tapes. These components are used to protect and identify buried cables or conduits in underground installations.
The standard outlines the requirements for mechanical protection, as well as the identification and warning systems for buried cables or conduits. It specifies the tests that these cover plates and cover tapes need to undergo to ensure their durability and effectiveness in providing protection and location warning.
It is important to note that the standard does not cover meshes and tapes falling under EN 12613. This means that those particular types of components have their own specific requirements and testing procedures defined in a different standard.
