This specification applies to terminations for mineral-insulated metal-sheathed (MIMS) cables complying with AS 3187 and having a seal with a typical construction in accordance with Fig. A1 of Appendix A. The specification also applies to glands for MIMS cables complying with AS 3187, and which are intended to form part of the earthing system of an installation. Requirements for glands are therefore limited to their ability to establish an effective electrical connec tion with the cable sheath. Requirements for ensuring that glands are suitable for use with flameproof enclosures are not included.
