Introduction
HD 361 was adopted by CENELEC on 18 November 1976. A second edition was published in 1986. The third
edition (1999) restricted the rated voltage of cables covered by this HD to an upper limit of 450/750V, and to
harmonised cables and cords on recognised National Types.
This fourth edition implements amendment A1 to HD 361 S3:1999 and expands the cable types to EN 50618
and EN 50620.

1 Scope
This document details a designation system for harmonised power cables and cords according to EN 50525
(series), EN 50214, EN 50618 and EN 50620.
NOTE The use of the system for Recognised National Types of cable or cord has been withdrawn by CLC/TC 20. For
non-harmonised cables National Committees are permitted to use any designation that does not conflict with this HD, but
see Tables 2 and 4 for recommendations.
2 Normative references
The following documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some or all of their content constitutes
requirements of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references,
the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.
EN 60228, Conductors of insulated cables (IEC 60228)
IEC 60050-461, International Electrotechnical Vocabulary (IEV) - Part 461: Electric cables
3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in IEC 60050-461 apply.
ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:
— IEC Electropedia: available at http://www.electropedia.org/

4 Basic elements of the designation
The cable designation shall be composed of three parts indicating the essential characteristics of a cable
(Table 1).
Table 1 — Basic elements of the cable description
Part Basic elements of the description See Table(s)
1 Relationship to Standards 2
 Rated voltage 3
2 Construction of the cable, generally in a radial sequence and 4 to 7
starting with the insulation material; then after a dash,
 Material and form of conductor(s) 8 and 9
3 Number and size of conductors 10
Part 1 and Part 2 of the designation are generally written without a space and constitute the « type designation »
of a cable or cord.
Part 3 of the designation constitutes specific information on the number and size of conductors, when required.
A survey of symbols and their sequence in the cable designation is given in Clause 8.
5 Part 1 of the Designation
Part 1 of the designation covers the relationship to standards and the rated voltages. The details are given in
Table 2 and Table 3
