MODUK DEF STAN 61-12: PART 0 PDF

Defence Standard 61-12 (Part 0) is the generic specification for a family of conductors ranged from a nominal cross sectional area (csa) of 0.035 mm² to 630 mm² and the associated wires, cords and cables which are manufactured using selected conductors in the above range.

The Defence Standard details the tests, test methods, Qualification Approval Procedures and general requirements for wires, cords and cables. It applies to all conductors and insulations, including specialized categories of insulations where additional tests shall apply, eg Limited Fire Hazard applications.

Where possible, test requirements have been detailed to reflect the minimum level of properties which wires and cables for MOD use, shall meet. Necessary deviations from the test requirements shall be specified under the particular test heading of those tests called up in the relevant sectional specification.

The Sectional Specifications shall select tests from this Standard relevant to their application. Any additional specialized test or deviations from those tests listed in this Standard shall also be stated in the Sectional Specifications
