1 Scope

This International Standard specifies requirements for metallic, non-metallic and composite cable ties and their associated fixing devices used for the management and support of wiring systems in electrical installations.

Cable ties and associated fixing devices may also be suitable for other applications and where so used, regard should be taken of any additional requirements.

This standard does not contain requirements that evaluate any electrical insulation properties of the cable tie or mechanical protection of the cables provided by the cable tie.

This standard does not consider the mechanical interface of a fixing device to a solid surface such as a wall or ceiling.

1DV.1 Modify the first paragraph as follows:

This Standard specifies requirements for metallic, non-metallic and composite cable ties and their associated fixing devices used for the management and support of wiring systems in electrical installations in accordance with the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC), Part I, CSA C22.1, in Canada, Standard for Electrical Installations, NOM-001-SEDE, in Mexico, and the National Electrical Code (NEC), NFPA 70, in the United States of America.

1DV.2 Modify by deleting the last paragraph in Clause 1 and adding the following note:

NOTE This standard considers the mechanical interface of a fixing device to a surface when the means for securing is provided with the fixing device (See 9.7.1dv, 9.7.2dv, and 9.7.3dv).
