Overview
SIST EN 2713-012:2022 is a European standard developed by the Slovenian Institute for Standardization (SIST) as part of the aerospace series. This document specifies the requirements for single and multicore electrical cables with silver-plated copper spiral screening and jackets, designed for general purpose use in aircraft electrical systems. The cables covered by this standard are suitable for operating temperatures between -55 °C and 200 °C and support UV laser markability for enduring identification.
These cables are critical components in modern aerospace electrical systems, ensuring safe and reliable operation across a broad range of environmental conditions. SIST EN 2713-012:2022 replaces the previous 2017 edition, reflecting updated industry requirements and standardization best practices.
Key Topics
Cable Structure
- Single-core (MNA), pair (MNB), three-core (MNC), and four-core (MND) configurations
- Silver-plated copper stranded spiral screen for enhanced electrical conductivity and shielding
- Durable cable jacket designed to withstand harsh aerospace operating environments
Marking and Identification
- UV laser printable surfaces enable permanent, high-contrast cable marking
- Compatibility with alternative marking methods per EN 3838
Performance Characteristics
- Reliable operation from -55 °C up to 200 °C, suitable for aerospace environments
- Compliance with extensive test requirements, including:
- Visual inspection, mass, and dimensional accuracy
- Electrical resistance, insulation, and voltage proof tests
- Environmental durability: flammability, aging, thermal shock, and resistance to fluids
- Mechanical integrity: bending, abrasion, solderability, plating adherence, and tensile tests
Quality Assurance
- Qualification procedures per recognized aerospace protocols and EN 9133
- Documentation and traceability requirements to ensure long-term reliability and compliance
Applications
The cables standardized by SIST EN 2713-012:2022 are used in a variety of aerospace applications, particularly:
Aircraft On-Board Electrical Systems
These cables provide essential connections for power, signal, and data transmission within fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters.General Purpose Aerospace Wiring
Suitable wherever robust, temperature-resistant, shielded cables are necessary, such as in instrumentation, avionics, lighting, and control systems.Harsh Environments
Their construction enables use in environments subject to wide temperature ranges, vibration, and potential fluid exposure.Marking Critical Components
The UV laser printable jacket ensures that cable identification remains legible throughout the lifecycle, supporting efficient maintenance, troubleshooting, and regulatory compliance.
