Working Group 9-1 Shipboard Cables:

• The following status report on shipboard cable activities were prepared by Mr. Dieter Popoff and presented to the subcommittee for discussion:
  • Technical and procedural problems with the IEEE Std. 45-1993 draft have not been re-solved as of this date. Projected date for approval is sometime during 1997.
  • Canadian Coast Guard has issued a waiver to their previous requirement that all cable acceptable for installation on Canadian registered vessels be constructed and meet the recommendations of IEEE Std. 45-1983 draft. Canada will accept cable that is constructed and tested to IEEE Std. 45-1983, in addition to those that meet IEC 92-3, until the new IEEE Std. 45 is published.
  • The United States and Canada are the only countries still requiring compliance to IEC 92-3, rather than IEC 92-350 series, which has been adopted worldwide and allows standard insulation thickness.
  • U.L. 1309, Bi-National shipboard cable standard, has been published, but is not accepted by either the Canadian or U.S. Coast Guard.
  • Nema is discussing the possibility of developing a shipboard standard that would cover Sections 18, 19 and 20 of IEEE Std. 45.

Dr. Mark Lowell read a letter to Mr. Harry Epstein, Chair IEEE Standards Review Group. This letter (Appendix 9-A) states the concerns about changes to IEEE-45 that have been included in the latest draft. Detailed minutes for each WG are available from their respective Homepages.
