218Y to BS 6500(New BS EN 50525-2-11)
Application and Description
218Y to BS 6500(New BS EN 50525-2-11) 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, 218Y to BS 6500(New BS EN 50525-2-11) cables are not permitted for use with
cooking or heating apparatus. 218Y is equivalent to harmonized code H03VV-F.
