Full title and description
Multicore and symmetrical pair/quad cables for digital communications - Part 1-1: Capability Approval - Generic specification. This publication defines a generic capability‑approval specification that applies to multicore and symmetrical pair/quad cables used for digital communications, establishing the requirements and normative references used when assessing capability approval for such cables.
Abstract
This part of IEC 61156 provides a generic specification for capability approval of multicore and symmetrical pair/quad cables for digital communications. It gives the scope, normative references and the baseline requirements against which manufacturers and testing bodies can demonstrate that a cable type meets the capability‑approval criteria defined for the IEC 61156‑1 series.

Scope
Applies as a generic capability‑approval specification for multicore and symmetrical pair/quad cables intended for digital communications. The document sets out the general requirements, normative references and the framework for capability approval used across the IEC 61156‑1 series; it is intended to be used by manufacturers, test laboratories and conformity assessment bodies when determining whether a cable construction satisfies capability‑approval criteria.
Key topics and requirements
- Definitions and terminology relevant to capability approval within the IEC 61156‑1 series.
- General requirements and acceptance criteria for capability approval of cable constructions.
- Normative references and cross‑references to test methods and quality assessment procedures.
- Framework for submission and assessment by approval/certification bodies (quality and documentation requirements).
- Baseline specification items that other part‑specific documents in the 61156 series may reference.
Typical use and users
Used by cable manufacturers, design engineers, testing and certification laboratories, conformity assessment bodies and standards committees. Typical applications include product development, type approval and capability approval processes for cables deployed in digital communication systems (e.g., LANs, ISDN and other data networks) where demonstrable and documented capability is required.
