Full title and description

St IEC 62329-3-101-2010 — Heat-shrinkable moulded shapes - Part 3: Specification requirements for shape dimensions, material requirements and compatibility performance - Sheet 101: Heat-shrinkable moulded shapes, polyolefin, semi-rigid, limited fire hazard, material requirements and system performance. This publication specifies material, dimensional and system-performance requirements for semi‑rigid polyolefin heat‑shrinkable moulded shapes intended for electrical insulating applications.

Abstract

IEC 62329-3-101:2010 gives the requirements for heat‑shrinkable moulded shapes made from semi‑rigid polyolefin with limited fire hazard, covering material properties, dimensional specification and compatibility/performance as part of system assemblies. Experience indicates suitability for use in systems with an operating temperature range of −30 °C to +105 °C.

Scope

This part (Sheet 101) of IEC 62329 specifies requirements for polyolefin, semi‑rigid, limited‑fire‑hazard heat‑shrinkable moulded shapes (for example end‑caps, boots and other formed shapes) with respect to material composition, dimensional specifications, system compatibility and performance. It is intended to support safe and reliable use of these moulded shapes in electrical systems operating typically between −30 °C and +105 °C. The standard includes requirements and test considerations for material and system behaviour rather than detailed product drawings beyond the dimensional references given in the 62329‑3 series.

Key topics and requirements

• Material specification for semi‑rigid polyolefin formulations with limited fire hazard characteristics.
• Dimensional requirements and tolerances for moulded shapes as referenced to the 62329‑3 series.
• System performance and compatibility tests (ageing, heat‑shock, adhesion where applicable, electrical and mechanical behaviour in assembly).
• Recommended operating temperature range and guidance on selection for application‑specific requirements (−30 °C to +105 °C).
• Notes on product presentation (common colour, adhesive‑lined options where supplied by manufacturer) and declaration of conformance for specified properties.

Typical use and users

Manufacturers of heat‑shrinkable tubing and moulded shapes, component assemblers, cable‑jointing and termination product designers, quality and compliance engineers, procurement specialists buying insulating components for electrical equipment, and testing laboratories performing conformity and type testing. The standard is used to specify material and performance requirements in product datasheets and procurement documents.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: IEC 62329‑3‑101:2010 is a part (Sheet 101) of the IEC 62329 series that sets specification requirements for semi‑rigid polyolefin heat‑shrinkable moulded shapes with limited fire hazard characteristics, covering material and system performance.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers material properties, dimensional requirements, compatibility and performance expectations (including relevant test considerations) for the specified moulded shapes and gives guidance on typical operating temperature range and product presentation.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Product manufacturers, design and test engineers, procurement and compliance teams, and test laboratories involved with insulating components and cable‑accessory systems.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The document is the 2010 edition (Edition 1.0). Users should verify whether a later amendment or a newer edition has been published by checking IEC or their national standards body for any revisions since 2010. As published in 2010 the edition is authoritative unless superseded.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is part of the IEC 62329 series (heat‑shrinkable moulded shapes), where Part 3 contains specification sheets (multiple sheet numbers for different materials and performance classes). Sheet 101 is the polyolefin, semi‑rigid, limited fire hazard sheet.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Heat‑shrinkable, moulded shapes, polyolefin, semi‑rigid, limited fire hazard, insulating materials, dimensions, material requirements, system performance, IEC 62329.
