本推荐规程适用于单芯或多芯电缆，带或不带金属铠装和/或护套，额定电压为300 V至35 kV ac（RMS相间）或2000 V dc，拟安装在船舶、固定和浮动海上设施上，并符合行业安装标准和有管辖权的当局（AHJ）的规定。 这些建议定义了电缆可靠性和耐久性方面的良好工程实践。

This recommended practice is for single or multiconductor cables, with or without metal armor and/or jacket, and rated 300 V to 35 kV ac (RMS phase-to-phase) or up to 2000 V dc, intended to be installed aboard marine vessels, fixed and floating offshore facilities, and in accordance with industry installation standards and the regulations of the authorities having jurisdiction (AHJ). The recommendations define what is considered good engineering practice with reference to the reliability and durability of the cable.
