Overview
SIST EN 60684-3-205:2011 sets out requirements for one specific type of flexible insulating sleeving: heat-shrinkable chlorinated polyolefin sleeving, flame retarded, with nominal shrink ratios of 1.7:1 and 2:1. As part of the IEC 60684 series, this standard applies to sleeving materials designed for electrical insulation applications where flexible, flame-retardant, heat-shrink protection is required at continuous operating temperatures up to 120°C.
The standard defines dimensions, test methods, and performance criteria to ensure the safety, reliability, and quality of heat-shrinkable chlorinated polyolefin sleeving products used in electrical installations and manufacturing.
Key Topics
- Product Requirements: Details the physical, mechanical, electrical, and chemical property requirements for heat-shrinkable sleeving, including size, wall thickness, mass, color, and performance under various conditions.
- Shrink Ratios: Specifies two nominal shrink ratios: 1.7:1 and 2:1, allowing for coverage adaptability and tight insulation fits.
- Flame Retardancy: The standard addresses flame retardant properties, ensuring that sleeving minimizes fire risk in electrical installations.
- Operating Temperature: Suitable for consistent use at temperatures up to 120°C.
- Testing Methods: References IEC 60684-2 for methods to assess breakdown voltage, tensile strength, elongation, resistance to fluids, fungus resistance, and other critical properties.
- Identification and Marking: Defines the proper designation system for compliance and traceability, including color according to IEC 60757 guidelines.
Applications
Heat-shrinkable chlorinated polyolefin sleeving is widely utilized in both the electrical and electronics industries owing to its versatile protective features. Key applications include:
- Electrical Cable Insulation: Offers primary or secondary insulation for wires and cables, improving safety and extending component lifetime.
- Bundle Protection: Organizes and shields groups of wires from abrasion, chemicals, and moisture.
- Environmental Sealing: Protects terminals, joints, and connectors from environmental impacts such as fluids, dust, and humidity.
- Mechanical Reinforcement: Adds an additional mechanical barrier, preventing damage from flexing or vibration.
- Fire Hazard Mitigation: Utilization in environments where flame resistance is critical, thus supporting compliance with electrical safety regulations.
This sleeving is commonly required in sectors such as automotive, industrial controls, telecommunications, aerospace, appliance manufacturing, and building installations, particularly where durability and safety compliance are enforced.

FOREWORD 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations. 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any misinterpretation by any end user. 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter. 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any services carried out by independent certification bodies. 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication. 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publicatio
