IEC 61196-1-100:2015 gives the general requirements and conditions for electrical tests to be performed on coaxial communication cables and applies to the IEC 61196-1-1xx series, which specifies electrical test methods for coaxial communication cables. Further test details (for example, temperature, duration) and/or test requirements are given in the relevant cable standard. This second edition cancels and replaces the edition published in 2005. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) ambient conditions are specified more in detail,
b) the list of related standards of the IEC 61196 series was moved to Annex A.

This publication is to be read in conjunction with IEC 61196-1:2005
