KS 04-192 & BS 6500 Specification for PVC insulated flexible cables and cords of rated voltage Uo/U up to and
including 450/750V.
The maximum long service operating temperature of PVC is 70ºC. This means that a normal service life can be
expected from PVC insulated Cables and cords if the sum of the ambient temperature does not exceed 70ºC.
To prevent damage during the handling and installation of PVC cables, the ambient temperature should not be less
than 0ºC. When working at or near this temperature it is advisable to keep the cable in a warm place for at least 24
hours before installation.
