 Industrial Cables - Multi-Core Flexible Cables
218Y to BS 6500
Application and Description
These cable types are especially suited for use on small appliances with low mechanical stress and
for connection for light household appliances, e.g. kitchen utensils, desk lamps, floor lamps, vacuum
cleaners, office machines, radios, etc. As far as these cables are admitted to the relevant specifications
of the equipment, They are not permitted for use with cooking or heating apparatus. 218Y is equivalent
to harmonized code H03VV-F.
