This Standard provides requirements and tests for the construction and performance of cable glands. This standard covers complete cable glands as supplied by the manufacturer or the supplier responsible for placing the product on the market. This standard does not cover cable glands for mineral insulated cables.
This standard covers cable glands with IEC 60423 metric entry threads.
