Note:
1) Embossing on outer sheath of cable shall be as per example
given below for 4 x 16 mm2 size cable:
"ELECTRIC CABLE 600/1000 V BS 5467 OMAN CABLES 4 X 16 YEAR"
Apart from the above sequential length marking shall also be
provided on outer sheath of cable at every one meter by
printing/Indenting/embossing.
