d. Impulse test (HV cable)

e. Flame retardant test
f. Oil immersion test on sheath
g. Ageing test
h. Fire resistance test
i. Smoke emission/density test
j. Halogen emission and acidity tests
k. Oxygen index test
l. Temperature index test
8.3 Factory Acceptance Test (FAT)

The following routine tests (FAT) shall be performed at the Vendor 's work and the
cables shall demonstrate satisfactory compliance to the required parameters:
a. Continuity test for conductors, armour and screen.
b. Voltage tests in accordance to IEC 60502-1 and/or IEC 60502-2:
c. Electrical resistance tests for conductors, armour and screen.
d. Insulation resistance tests (between all conductor permutations and
conductor(s), armour and screen(s).
The Vendor shall report the measured cable diameter to COMPANY during the
course of manufacture. A continuous monitoring record of the cable diameter shall
also be made part of the final data submitted at the end of manufacture.
All cables shall be tested at the test voltage in accordance with the class of cable
insulation involved.
After testing, the ends of the cables or wires shall be sealed to prevent the ingress
of moisture.
COMPANY may require additional testing if test results are unsatisfactory or
marginal. Any cables rejected shall be replaced and tests shall be repeated.
Copies of certified test reports shall be submitted to Purchaser or their designated
representative for each reel of cable.
Vendor shall obtain Third Party Inspection and relevant certifications (for classified
area equipment where applicable) as Vendor’s cost from relevant certifying agency
as authorised by COMPANY.
9.0 VENDOR DATA REQUIREMENTS
