6.2 Insulation
6.2.1 Material used in the outer cover to insulate a sealed wire connector system shall be resistant tofungi attack. Materials not known to be resistant to fungi shall comply with Level 0 or 1.A natural, organicfiber such as cotton, paper, jute, or hemp shall not be used.Materials known to be resistant to fungi, suchas polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride,EPDM rubber, or glass, need not be investigated for fungi resistance.ln the United States and Canada ANSI/ASTM G21 shall be used to determine compliance.
In Mexico a national standard to evaluate the fungi attack does not exist. lt is recommended thatANSI/ASTM G21 be used as a supplemental document in performing the evaluation.
7 Test requirements
7.1 General
7.1.1 A wire connector used in a sealed wire connector system shall comply with the current-cycling,static-heating sequence, and mechanical sequence tests, as appropriate, described in UL 486A-486B,CANCSA-C22.2 No.65, or NMX-J-543-ANCE; or in UL 486C,CSA C22.2 No.188, or NMX-J-548-ANCE,as applicable.
7.1.2 A sealed wire connector system shall be subjected to all of the tests in Table 1 and to any additionaltest sequences in Table 2, as applicable (see 10.3).After subjecting the assemblies to a test sequence,the insulating properties of the covers or the like shall not be adversely affected as determined by thespecified tests.
