1 General

1.1 Scope
This Part of GB/T 5013 applies to rigid and flexible cables with insulation, and sheath if any, based on vulcanized rubber of rated voltages U0/U up to and including 450/750 V used in power installations of nominal voltage not exceeding 450/750 V a.c.
Note: For some types of flexible cables the term ‘cord’ is used.
The particular types of cables are specified in GB/T 5013.3, GB/T 5013.4, etc. The code designations of these types of cables are given in Appendix A.
The test methods specified in Parts 1 to 8 of GB/T 5013 are given in GB/T 5013.2, GB/T 18380.1 and in the relevant parts of GB/T 2951.
