This standard gives the requirements for two types of heat-shrinkable, not flame retarded,
polyolefin sleeving with a nominal shrink ratio of 3:1 and with thick and medium wall. This
sleeving has been found suitable at temperatures up to 135 °C.
- Type A: Medium wall - internal diameter of up to 180,0 mm.
- Type B: Thick wall - internal diameter of up to 160,0 mm.
These sleevings are normally supplied in black.
Sizes or colours other than those specifically listed in this standard may be available as
custom items. These items are in compliance with this standard if they comply with the
property requirements listed in Tables 3, 4, 5 and 6 except for dimensions and mass.
Materials which conform to this specification meet established levels of performance.
However, the selection of a material by a user for a specific application should be based on
the actual requirements necessary for adequate performance in that application and not
based on this specification alone.
