3.2 TEST REPORT(S), INSPECTION REPORT(S), AND VERIFICATION REPORT(S)
3.2.1 Cable Data
Do not begin any wire and cable fabrication until materials are submitted and approved by the Contracting Officer. Submit cable data for approval including, but not limited to, dimensioned sketches showing cable construction and sufficient additional data to show that wire and cable meet the requirements of this Section.
SECTION 26 05 19.10 10 Page 10
3.2.2 Inspection and Tests
Inspection and tests of wire and cable furnished under these specifications must be made by and at the plant of the manufacturer, and must be witnessed by the Contracting Officer, unless waived in writing. T he manufacturer must provide certification and certification reports of completed inspections and completed tests. The Government may require or perform further tests before or after installation. Testing in general must comply with NEMA WC 57, NEMA WC 70, ANSI/NEMA WC 71/ICEA S-96-659 , or NEMA WC 74/ICEA S-93-639 as applicable. Specific tests required for particular materials, components, and completed cables must be as specified in the sections of the above standards applicable to those materials, components, and cable types. Tests must also be performed in accordance with the additional requirements specified below. Submit 5 certified copies of test reports.
3.2.2.1 High-Voltage Test Source
Where the applicable standards allow a choice, high-voltage tests for cables to be used exclusively on dc circuits must be made with dc test voltages. Cables to be used exclusively on ac circuits must be tested with ac test voltages. If both ac and dc will be present, on either the same or separate conductors of the cable, ac test voltages must be used.
3.2.2.2 Shielded Cables Rated 2,001 Volts or Greater
The following test(s) must be performed in addition to those specified above:
a. If high-voltage testing is done with an AC test voltage as specified in paragraph "High-Voltage Test Source," an additional test must be made using a DC test voltage rated at 75 percent of the specified full DC test voltage, for 5 consecutive minutes.
b. If voltage tests after installation are required for 5-65kV shielded power cables then testing must be done in accordance with NEMA WC 74/ICEA S-93-639 , Appendix F.
3.2.2.3 Flame Tests
All multiple-conductor and single-conductor cable assemblies must pass either the vertical cable tray flame tests required by ICEA T-30-520 (stated in, but not required by NEMA WC 70), the vertical tray flame propagation test requirements of UL 1685 and IEEE 1202 , the wire and cable burning characteristics test of the UL 2556 VW-1 Test, or (for control cables only) the flame test as required by NEMA WC 57. If such tests, however, have previously been made on identical cables, these tests need not be repeated. Instead, certified reports of the original qualifying tests must be submitted. In this case the reports furnished under paragraph "Reports," must include information, identify critical information, and verify that all of each cable's materials, construction, and dimensions are the same as those in the qualifying tests.
3.2.2.4 Independent Tests
The Government may make visual inspections, continuity or resistance checks, insulation resistance readings, power factor tests, or dc high potential tests at field test values. A cable's failure to pass these tests and inspections, or failure to produce readings consistent with
SECTION 26 05 19.10 10 Page 11 acceptable values for the application, will be grounds for rejection of the cable.
3.2.2.5 Reports
Furnish results of tests. No wire or cable must be shipped until authorized. Lot number and reel or coil number of wire and cable tested must be indicated on the test reports.
