It does not specify insulation; it focuses strictly on the conductor , establishing maximum allowable D.C. resistance at 20°C for various materials and sizes.

Finer copper wires designed for cables that need to move or bend during use. Extra Flexible iec 60228

Specified from in a standardized, geometrically progressive series (e.g., 1.5, 2.5, 4, 6, 10, 16, 25 mm²…). It does not specify insulation; it focuses strictly

Provides standardized procedures for testing conductor resistance, often utilizing four-wire Kelvin bridge microhmmeters . It does not specify insulation

for cable conductors. It has enabled global trade and consistent electrical performance for decades. If you specify or manufacture cables for international markets, this standard is non-negotiable. Its weaknesses (lack of AC correction, tinned copper omission) are minor and addressed by companion standards.
