    BS 3924 is withdrawn (and has been for some time)


    BS EN 60454 is a multi part standard that covers basic specifications for a variety of tape types for electrical purposes (eg PVC, polyimide, with or without pressure sensitive adhesives etc etc) along with the required test methods


    Do you have a particular query in mind


    Regards

    Hello OMS, I have some P.V.C. electrical insulation tape marked with the two numbers and wondered just what they involved. The tape is good for up to  600 Volts and 80 degree C max. temperature. It is flame retardant. I was just wondering what the standards covered.

    Too slippery on the fingers. Insulation tape causes me to drop small screws. Fabric tape is better.

    Don't forget the supplementary use for securing dressings and support tape/bandages, or protecting your ears, or indeed temporarily securing any limbs that become detached, during a rugby match !

    Strange how a roll of it left untouched can form a bulge in the middle! ?

    data from a reputable make  here    does not mention Rugby....

    Be aware that the flame tests for tape are not quite the same as for other materials like cables for example, and require it to stop burning within 60seconds, after the gas is removed and not to drop burning globs large enough or hot enough that light a cotton test cloth underneath. It does not mean it does not burn at all, just that the drips are small drops...

    typical test report, that describes the test

    Similar to socket-outlets not being suitable for emergency switching off, as mentioned in another thread earlier today ... although in this particular case not mentioning it is perhaps better than pretending it doesn't happen by documenting the fact it's not suitable for the purpose (the latter perhaps blatant ignorance of a reasonably foreseeable action).
