Mitigating Wire Insulation Damage During Processing and Handling
AIR5717
Wire and cable products progress through a series of handling or operational steps from the time they leave the manufacturer, and until a finished harness or assembly is ready for installation on a vehicle. Throughout these many steps, environmental or processing conditions may be present which can generate damage detrimental to the wire or cable and/or its intended application.
Rationale: AIR5717 IS BEING STABILIZED BECAUSE THE PROCESSES IS CONSIDERED MATURE AND THE COMMITTEE DOES NOT ANTICIPATE FUTURE TECHNICAL GUIDANCE. STABILIZATION DOES NOT IMPLY THE PROCESS IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR APPLICATIONS FOR WHICH IT IS DESIGNED. ANY CHANGES NOTED BY A USER WHICH RESULTS IN A CHANGE OF GUIDANCE WILL BE ADDRESSED BY A NEW REVISION.
