DIN EN 2234:2012-06

This European Standard DIN EN 2234 specifies the required characteristics and test procedures for fire resistant or fireproof electrical cables for use in aircraft electrical systems. These cables should also maintain a specific surface resistance when they are subjected to a flame of 1 100 °C after 5 minutes (fire resistant) or 15 minutes (fire-proof) exposure. They should be rated at an a.c. voltage of 600 V r.m.s., a frequency of maximum 2 000 Hz and a long term temperature of up to 260 °C (ambient temperature plus temperature rise in conductor). The standard EN 2234 series has been prepared by ASD-STAN, Technical Section Electrics, Avionics, with the participation of German experts of the Aerospace Standards Committee. The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) declared the Aerospace and Defence Industries Association of Europe (ASD-STAN) responsible for the preparation of European standards (EN) for the field of aerospace. The responsible German standardization committee is Working Committee NA 131-04-02 AA "Elektrische Leitungen" ("Electric cables") of the Aerospace Standards Committee at DIN.
