Conduits & fittings for electrical installations - General requirements.
AS/NZS 2053.8:1995

the combination of these standards ensures:
-
The internal diameter of the conduit provides the expected carrying capacity
-
The construction is free from burrs, defects or sharp edges that could damage a cable
-
The conduit has sufficient resistance to compression to ensure a Heavy-Duty rating
-
The combination of the conduit and fitting demonstrates excellent pull-out strength to ensure a safe installation
-
The conduit shows no signs of wear despite 5000 flexings at the rate of 40 per minutes
-
The conduit can maintain its Heavy-Duty rating at the maximum heat stress of 80 degrees Celsius
-
The conduit is non-flame propagating
