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 IEC60423 metric entry threads.

NOTE Certain cable glands may also be used “in Hazardous Areas.” Regard should then be taken of other or additional requirements necessary for the enclosure to be installed in such conditions, for example as specified in the IEC60079 series.
