These cables cut into the five types A, B, C, D and E, including the relevant test
requirements.
The instructions on how to carry out the tests and what national and international standards
are to be quoted are stated in the specification VG95218 Part 2. Halogen free cables with an
improved performance in case of fire are required for marine applications.
Cables that meet these requirements can be found in Type C and Type E.
In Type E (double screen) there are currently 11 different constructions, numbered E001 to
E011.
The types of cables which can be compared directly to Part 61 to 66 are specified in
Part 28 under part numbered C033 to C078 and E004 to E011.
Cables approved according to VG95218 Part 28 Type C and E contain single conductors,
components and jacket materials, which have to be approved and licenced indivdually and
independently from each other according to the subgroup of the standards.
Every sub-standard contains test requirements for electrical and mechanical features, as
well as demands for resistance against aggressive fluids and improved performance in case
of fire.
VG95218 Part 28 C and E cables comprise.

Braided Components – in pairs, triples and quads specified in standard VG95218 Part
23 Type G.
Elements of Part 23 Type G contain elements of Part 21 Type C.
Elements that are defined by colors are braided and protected by a wrapped outer layer.
These elements can be used only as components in multicore cables.
The jacket material and the complete cable are specified in standard VG95218 Part C
and E.
This comprises the constructive data of the cables, as well as all test requirements for the
complete cable and cable jacket.
Spec VG95218 Part 28 acts on a modular conception, which allows to design and define
freely the construction of a cable with tested and approved components according to Part 20
to 23 and the requirements of the user.
