This Harmonization Document specifies the test methods and requirements for fingerprinting (as defined in 3.12) of heat shrinkable components intended to be used in cable accessories for medium voltage, as defined in HD 629.1 and HD 629.2. Fingerprinting of materials does not have a mandatory link to type testing of accessories. It shall be regarded as a stand-alone test, but may be carried out in combination with the accessory type tests. Component basic functions can be: conductive, stress control or stress grading, insulating, oil barrier, anti-tracking, external protection and sealing. Components are supplied as single layer items or as multi-layer items.
