The ASTM D470-2021 standard provides a physical test method for wire and cable crosslinking insulation materials and bushings, designed to evaluate the physical performance of these materials during use. These tests facilitate research and development, engineering, quality control, and specification acceptance. The standard covers testing procedures for insulation layers and jackets, excluding soft rope products. Tests focus on the performance of insulation layers or jackets and do not involve conductors or finished cables. The standard also emphasizes that users need to comply with relevant safety and environmental regulations and confirm suitability before use.
