AS/NZS 61386.1:2015
Conduit systems for cable management - Part 1: General requirements
Specifies requirements and tests for conduit systems, including conduits and conduit fittings, for the protection and management of insulated conductors and/or cables in electrical installations or in communication systems up to 1000 V a.c. and/or 1500 V d.c. Applies to metallic, non-metallic and composite conduit systems, including threaded and non-threaded entries which terminate the system. This Standard supersedes, and runs in parallel with, AS/NZS 2053.1:2001. It is intended that AS/NZS 2053.1:2001 will be withdrawn at some appropriate future time. This standard is based on but not equivalent to IEC 61386-1, Ed.2.0 (2008).
