What is BS EN 50655-1- Fingerprinting for resinous compounds about?
BS EN 50655 is a European Standard that discusses material characterization of electric cable accessories, that can ensure undesired consequences of poor insulation are minimized.
BS EN 50655-1 is the first part of the multi-series that specifies the test methods and requirements of tests for fingerprinting of solvent-free polymerizable, reacting resinous compound intended to be used for electrical insulation and/or mechanical protection in cable accessories.
