Schedule

EQUIPMENT:
Equipment and systems covered by this certificate are as follows:

The E** series Type ranges of cable glands consist of a male-threaded front entry component containing an elastomeric
sealing ring and a Nylon 6 skid washer which effect flameproof sealing onto the cable inner sheath and is intended to
screw into an entry point of its associated enclosure in accordance with relevant codes of practice. The flameproof seal is
actuated by an adjoining coupling component. The coupling component is attached to a main body. Their mating thread
may be fitted with an optional ‘O’ ring seal to provide increased ingress protection. Clamping of the armoured or braided
cable is effected by a combination of the coupling component, main body and the different optional armour cone and
armour sleeve combinations being fastened together. An outer seal nut, containing an elastomeric sealing ring and a Nylon
6 ferrule, threads onto the main body and effects environmental sealing onto the cable outer sheath. Cable clamping is
achieved with the outer seal arrangement.

Refer to Annex for more details.

CONDITIONS OF CERTIFICATION: YES as shown below:

The E** type cable glands shall only be used where the temperature, at the point of entry, is between -60°C to
1. +130°C.
2. The E** type cable glands terminated on braided cables are not suitable for group I applications.
3. The E** type cable glands are fitted with one specific size of FLP sealing ring per gland size as supplied
4. The E** type cable glands used for terminating braided cables are only suitable for fixed installations. Cables must
be effectively clamped to prevent pulling or twisting.
5. The E** type of cable gland entry component threads may need additional sealing to maintain the ingress
protection rating as applicable to the associated equipment in which it will be attached.
6. When assembled for fitting to flexible conduit, the conduit shall be effectively clamped to prevent twisting and
pulling

DETAILS OF CERTIFICATE CHANGES (for issues 1 and above):

Issue 1 – this Issue introduced the following change:

1 The introduction of an alternative, outer sealing arrangement; the compression
nut length and consequently body length are reduced, in addition, the internal,
tapered ferrule is replaced by a flat ferrule.
Issue 2 – this Issue introduced the following changes:
1 The introduction of Ex nR II and Ex tD coding.
2 The recognition of alternative armour cone diameters.
3 The removal of the manufacturer's address from the product marking.
4 The use of the E** Cable glands with pliable wire armour cables.
Issue 3 – this Issue introduced the following change:
1 Correction of description in Annex to include 25/32 size in table. Omitted in
error.
Issue 4 - this Issue introduced the following changes:
1 The addition of the 20s16/20s and 20/25s sizes.
2 The use of alternative armour cones machined for varying armour wire
diameters.
3 The inclusion of steel wire armour cable (s.w.a) in the cone/clamping
description.
4 The Inclusion of ‘size-up’ entry threads.
Issue 5 – this Issue introduced the following changes:
1 The recognition of an alternative outer seal arrangement to allow the fitting of
the E** glands to flexible conduit , including a new Special Condition For Safe
use.
2 The addition of the size 16 gland to the E**, range.
Issue 6 – this Issue introduced the following change:
1 Following appropriate re-assessment to demonstrate compliance, the originally
listed standards IEC 60079-1:2003 and IEC 60079-7:2001 were replaced by
IEC 60079-1:2007 and IEC 60079-7:2006 respectively.
Issue 7 – this Issue introduced the following change:
1 The Condition of Certification that imposed tightening restriction to the E**-Type
Ranges to achieve IP 66 was proven to be unnecessary and was removed.

CERTIFICATION
Description (continued):
Design options
• The front entry component may be manufactured with a profiled groove to captivate an ‘O’ ring seal which locates
on the mating face with the associated enclosure. This option having the gland type designation prefixed with the
letter R, e.g. 25RE**.
• Alternative materials of manufacture:
Brass to BS2874:1986 Grade CuZn39Pb (CW614N)
Mild steel to BS970 Pt1:1991 Grade 220M07Pb

NPSM ANSI/ASME B1.20.1-1983 gauging to clause 9 for external threads
• The use of alternative armour clamping components. The various arrangements vary the cable gland suitability for
differing armour or braided type cables.
• The use of a component having an alternative profile allowing an integral earthing facility. The type designation
identifying the cable gland being fitted with this option.
• The use of metallic continuity diaphragm component specified by the cable gland type designation for use when
terminating lead sheathed cables.
• Alternative material of manufacture of the ferrule or skid washer to be the same as the gland material.
• Glands may be fitted with armour cones with alternative diameters to allow the clamping of smaller or larger
armour wires.
• Alternative outer seal arrangement to allow the fitting of the E** glands to flexible conduit , including a new Special
Condition For Safe use
