BS6231 PVC INSULATED CABLES FOR SWITCHGEAR AND CONTROL WIRING
BS6231 is a British Standard – last updated in 2006 by the BSI – that highlights the performance and construction
requirements of electrical cables that are single core, non-sheathed, PVC-insulated and of rated voltage 600/1000V.
It can be used in everything from automation and process control, building and construction to marine and defence,
and transmission, distribution and power networks
According to BS6231 standard, a whole range of colors can be used to identify the cable type. However, the cables
could also be subjected to core color requirements mentional in other standard such as BS6271. The color coding for
cables as shown in following figure.
