Reference Standard for Electrical Wires, Cables, and Flexible Cords
Also Known As:
The UL 1581:2021 standard is a comprehensive document that provides specific details and guidelines for the conductors, insulation, jackets, and other coverings used in wire and cable manufacturing.
The standard outlines the methods for sample preparation, specimen selection and conditioning, as well as measurement and calculation processes that are necessary for ensuring the quality and safety of electrical wires, cables, and flexible cords. These guidelines are crucial in establishing consistency and reliability in the industry.
It is important to note that while UL 1581:2021 provides the detailed requirements for materials, construction, performance, and marking of wire, cable, or flexible cord types, this reference standard does not include those specific requirements. The individual finished type standards govern those particular aspects.
If any element within UL 1581:2021 is not applicable to a specific wire, cable, or flexible cord, the corresponding finished type standard clarifies and specifies the relevant requirements that do apply. This ensures that each product type is held to the appropriate standards and regulations.
