适用于便携式接地和短路设备用绝缘材料为乙丙橡胶（EPR）、聚氯乙烯（PVC）或硅橡胶（SiR）的软电缆。 对于这种类型的电缆，没有给出额定电压，因为此类电缆专门用于接地和短路设备。 本标准第6条规定了电缆的特殊类型及其代号。 本标准中规定的试验方法见IEC 60227-2、IEC 60245-2、IEC 60811和IEC 62230。 与前一版本相比，重大技术变化如下: -将范围扩大到硅橡胶作为绝缘材料； -引入新的碰撞试验规范性附录。

Applies to flexible cables with insulation based on ethylene propylene rubber (EPR), polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or silicone rubber (SiR) for portable earthing and short-circuiting equipment. For this type of cable no rated voltage is given as such cables are exclusively intended for earthing and short-circuiting equipment. The particular types of cable and their code designations are specified in Clause 6 of this standard. The test methods specified in this standard are given in IEC 60227-2, IEC 60245-2, IEC 60811 and IEC 62230. The significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition are as follows: - extension of the scope to cover silicone rubber as an insulation material; - introduction of a new normative annex for clashing test.
