This British Standard specifies dimensions and performance requirements for multi-strand circular conductors in two distinct conditions:

  1. prior to application of insulation; and
  2. after insulation, since processing during cable manufacture may change the conductor characteristics.

The conductors specified in this standard are for general-purpose aircraft electrical cables for aerospace applications over the nominal cross-sectional area range 0.1 mm2 to 107 mm2.

NOTE. This standard does not apply to conductors for fire-resistant cables, thermocouple extension cables or equipment wire.
