IEC 60092-376:2017 PDF (Not Available)

IEC 60092-376:2017 standard is specifically designed for electrical installations in ships and offshore units. It focuses on control and instrumentation circuits with a voltage rating of 150/250V (300V). The standard applies to both screened and unscreened cables that are intended for fixed installations.

The standard outlines different types of cables for control and instrumentation circuits in Clause 5. The constructional requirements and test methods specified in this standard are generally in line with those defined in IEC 60092-350, unless stated otherwise.

The main objectives of this standard are to standardize cables for control and instrumentation circuits, ensure their safety and reliability when installed according to the requirements of IEC 60092-352, and establish manufacturing requirements and characteristics of these cables that directly or indirectly contribute to safety. Additionally, the standard specifies test methods to check conformity with the established requirements.

This edition of the standard introduces several important technical changes compared to the previous edition. These include a new structure aligned with IEC 60092-353 and IEC 60092-354, division of requirements and test methods into separate tables for enhanced clarity, and alignment of requirements with IEC 60092-350. Furthermore, the standard references the new testing methods for fire-resistant cables.
