IEC 60684-3-209:2003 outlines the requirements for a specific type of general-purpose, flexible, flame-retardant, heat-shrinkable polyolefin sleeving, which has a nominal minimum shrink ratio of 2:1. This sleeving has been deemed suitable for use at temperatures of up to 125 °C.
It is typically available in internal diameters up to 102 mm and comes in various colors, including black, brown, white, red, yellow, green, blue, orange, violet, gray, and yellow/green. Custom sizes, shrink ratios, or colors not explicitly listed in this standard may also be available. These custom items are considered compliant with this standard if they meet the property requirements specified in Tables 2 and 3, excluding dimensions.
Materials that conform to this specification demonstrate established performance levels. However, users should select materials based on the specific requirements necessary for adequate performance in their applications rather than relying solely on this specification.
