The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through sO technical liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. IsO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISsO/lEC Directives, Part 3. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject of patent rights. IsO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. International Standard ISO 3808 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 22, Road vehicles, Subcommittee SC 1, Ignition equipment. This first edition of ISO 3808 cancels and replaces ISO 3808-1:1979 and ISO 3808-2:1980, which have been technicallyrevised Annex A forms a normative part of this International Standard. @ ISO 2002 - All rights reserved ISO 3808:2002(E) INTERNATIONAL STANDARD Road vehicles Unscreened high-voltage ignition cables General specifications, test methods and requirements 1 Scope This International Standard specifies the classes, types and dimensions of, and test methods and requirements for, unscreened high-voltage ignition cables used in spark-ignited engines for road vehicles. 2 Normative references The following normative documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of publications do not apply.
