1. Overview
This topic covers the identification and the markings made by the manufacturer during the manufacture of th
e wires and cables.
Definitions:
AWG:
American Wire Gauge.
Conductor:
The conductor is the conducting element of the cable formed from one or more strands.
Core:
Assembly of a conductor and insulation which then form part of a complete single or multiconductor cable.
Cable or wire:
A cable is an assembly consisting of a conductor, insulation and, where applicable, a sheath, screen or jacket.
2. P/N Identification
All the wire types (US and Metric) agree with Standards (ABS, ASNE, EN, NSA,...).
The wires are identified as follows:
A. General Case

3. Wire Types
There are two families of wire types:
A. United States (US)
The United States (US) wire types are installed on A300/A310/A300-600. Their core diameter has US di
ameters.
For example, AKA gauge 24 has 19 strands diameter 0.127 mm (0.005 in.).
B. Metric (M) Types

The Metric (M) wire types are installed on the other Airbus A/C for weight saving.
For example, CF gauge 24 has 19 strands diameter 0.12 mm (0.0047 in.).
C. Wire Type Interchangeability Table

Print date: 2024-06-30 18:40:34
NOTE: The tables that follow give the interchangeability between wire types. For example, if a DK is
not available, you can replace it by a DM.
Although these wires have different structures, they are fully interchangeable (for a given mar
king type).
NOTE: If a CO2 laser is available, it is permitted to replace CF-U cables with CF-C cables. If no CO2 l
aser is available, the solution that follows is permitted:
- You can replace CF-U cables with DR cables or with CF-C cables (CF-C cables identified
with identification sleeve labels, refer to chapter 20-32-22 - Wire Functional Identificati
on).
(1) US -> Metric - one way interchangeability tables

If it is necessary to replace a US type wire on the aircraft and if the US type wire is no longer av
ailable, you can use an interchangeable Metric wire (Ref. one way interchangeability tables (US-
> Metric)). All the Metric wires are available.

4. Wire Type Codes
NOTE: The tables that follow give the characteristics and the related P/Ns for each wire type. For a wire typ
e code, if there are several related P/Ns, these wires have the same structure and the P/Ns are fully
interchangeable.
Tables 1-A to 1-Y give the list of the wire type codes in alphabetic sequence and the related standard P/Ns (U
S and Metric wire type families).
It is the wire type code which is written on the wire and not the standard P/N.
NOTE: You must use the applicable tools to strip the wires (US or Metric).

To avoid confusion when wiring, the manufacturer has marked the letters "A-B" every 300 mm
(11.81 in.).
The "A" side is related to the end where the red conductor is on the top right side.
At the "A" end, the conductor colors are, in a clockwise direction: red, green, blue and yellow.
B. Identification by Colored Thread

This identification consists of the manufacturer's identification twisted threads and two threads for the
year of manufacture (Ref. tables 5 and 6).
- For single wire, threads are inserted during the manufacturing phase between the core and the i
nsulating sheath or between the external sheath and the insulation sheath.
- For multi wire, twisted or not, threads are inserted between the external sheath and the conduct
ors.
The thread and printing must resist the maximum operating temperature of the wires.

C. Identification by Printed Tapes

This identification includes a series of digits and letters printed on a tape.
Printing will be done along the whole length of tape:
- At minimum pitch of 300 mm (11.81 in.) plus or minus 50 mm (1.97 in.) when printing is visible
through the external sheath.
- At maximum pitch of 75 mm (2.95 in.) plus or minus 25 mm (0.98 in.) in the other cases.
Printing must be dark-colored.
For single cable, tapes are inserted during the manufacturing phase between the core and the insulatio
n sheath or between the external sheath and the insulating sheath.
For multicore cable, twisted or not, tapes are inserted between the external sheath and the conductors.
The tape and printing must resist the maximum operating temperature of wires.

1. Overview
This chapter gives the identification and marking rules applicable to electrical cables.
A cable is identified by its:
- Type, type code and gauge (Ref. ESPM 20-32-21-02).
- Color code.
- Cable number.
2. Cable Color Code

The normal color of a single core cable will not be given.
The cable color codes are used if necessary to more accurately identify the cables. Most of the time, color cod
es are used for multicore cables.

NOTE: The code N is obsolete for cables. When you see this on a cable it is the same as BK.
3. Cable Number
All cables connected on the aircraft must be identified. It is the functional identification of the cable.

Ref. Fig. Cable Functional Identification - Cables Identification

A. Cables without markings
- Very short cables shorter than 75 mm (2.95 in.), ground pick-up cables (ferrule-to-ferrule or to c
onnector) and shunts are not identified.
- Cables used for circuit breaker monitoring (only for A318, A319, A320 and A321 program).
- Cables of control between two adjacent circuit breakers on line and cables of monitoring between
two adjacent circuit breakers in column (only for A330, A340, A350 and A380).
- Cables in small VUs (BF type - flexible cables) are not printable.
- Bonding cables shorter than 300 mm (11.81 in.).
B. Cable Identification Rules

A numeric reference system is used for cable identification.
A cable is identified by two groups of four figures with a space between them. The first four figures are
the ATA 100 circuit reference followed by as many as four figures that give the number of the cable in t
he circuit.
NOTE: If necessary, one more figure is added after these two groups to identify the color of the cabl
e.
If necessary, one more figure is added (letter "S") to identify the safety cable.
NOTE: Some cables have the FIN 0000-000X. These cables do not have an electrical function. They a
re used to increase the diameter of the harness to which they belong.

C. Cable Marking
Cable marking procedures depend on the category of the cables.
There are three main categories of cable:
- Printable cables.
- Non-printable cables.
- Cables without marking.
(1) Printable cables

Ref. Fig. Cable Functional Identification - Example for Printable Cables
NOTE: We recommend to print cables with a length from75 mm (2.95 in.)to150 mm (5.91 in.)
but identification with one identification sleeve is permitted.
NOTE: We recommend that you identify cables longer than75 mm (2.95 in.)with UV laser (only
for A350).
(a) Definition
Printable cables are identified with marking of the identification characters directly on the i
nsulation, at regular intervals along the full length of the cables.

ESPM 01-May-2024 49
Print date: 2024-06-30 18:40:48
Safety cables are identified with the letter ”S” at the end of the identification.
This category mainly concerns:
- 26 to 6 gauge cables longer than 75 mm (2.95 in.) (aircraft harnesses or large VU h
arnesses).
(b) Operation
- For single-core cables, hot stamp marking or laser marking will be used depending
on the coating code.
- Safety cables are identified with the letter ”S” at the end of the identification.
- For shielded cables, laser marking will be used.
Printing will be performed on the whole length of the cable.
- For cables shorter than 2000 mm (78.74 in.): at a maximum pitch of 75 mm (2.95 i
n.).
- For cables longer than 2000 mm (78.74 in.):
- At a maximum pitch of 75 mm (2.95 in.) along a length of 1 m from each end.
- At a maximum pitch of 380 mm (14.96 in.) on the center portion of the cable.
(c) Special cases
- If a modification calls for the shortening of a cable in the zone of the pitch (1000 m
m (39.37 in.)) from each end, you will install a cable identification sleeve at the sho
rtened end.
- Cables from one partner connected by a different partner:
- With the usual identification, these cables will also have a sleeve that shows t
he terminal and the electrical identifier of the item to be connected. The termi
nal identifier is put on the identification placard of the item to be connected. T
his rule is applicable to cables from one partner connected to the connecting it
ems of a different partner.
- Cables routed to standardized electrical items, not installed in VUs, must show the i
dentifier of the terminal (on NSA937201, NSA937203 or E0646) to which they are c
onnected.
- You can put markings on some optical cables (for example ABS0963-003) with UV l
aser but you cannot use hot stamping.
(2) Non-printable cables or cables with Identification Sleeves

Ref. Fig. Cable Functional Identification - Example for Non-Printable Cables (without Sheath)
Ref. Fig. Cable Functional Identification - Example for Non-Printable Cables (with Sheath)
(a) Definition
Non-printable cables are cables that cannot have direct marking due to their physical struc
ture or whose insulation can be deteriorated by marking (for example coaxial cables). The
se cables must be identified by sleeves.
This category includes:
- Large gauge cables (gauge 14 and below), (except the cables printed by CO2 laser
mentioned previously).
- Draw and spare cables.
- Usual medium gauge cables, length less than 2500 mm (98.43 in.), located inside e
lectronics racks.

- All cables printable by hot stamping and connected to at least one end termination
(VN, VG, VC) located in a Skydrol zone (ref. Specific Areas chapters).
- Safety cables identified by the letter S.
- Optical cables (depending on the code type).
- Coaxial cables.
NOTE: We recommend to print cables with a length from75 mm (2.95 in.)to150 mm (5.
91 in.)but identification with one identification sleeve is permitted.
NOTE: Cables with a length of more than150 mm (5.91 in.)must be identified with one s
leeve at each end.
NOTE: You must install identification sleeves on branches and junctions (only if branch a
nd junction lengths are more than1 m (3.28 ft.)).
NOTE: If the harness has no branches, you must attach a VB marking to the harness at
intervals of2 m (6.56 ft.). This is not applicable if the harness is supplied in race
ways or if other interval values are specified in the design document.
(b) Operation
Cables are identified with sleeves NSA937201.
The sleeves will be adapted to the cable gauge and installed as close as possible to the ter
minations (150 mm (5.91 in.) max.).
These sleeves can be printed to show the cable identification characters.
Markings must be clearly legible, abrasion-proof and resistant to aircraft liquids (synthetic
hydraulic fluid, kerosene).
The characters height is 3.2 mm (0.13 in.) minimum.
Sleeves installed on cables of a length of less than or equal to 2500 mm (98.43 in.) in elec
trical power centers, pylons, SWAMP areas and SKYDROL areas will be shrunk.
The sleeves are white, printed in black except for:
- Safety cables (code S) that have pink sleeves, printed in black.
- Aluminum cables that have grey sleeves printed in black for identification.
For EFCS, when printing is not possible, two sleeves must be used:
- One white sleeve (or grey for aluminum cable) with black printing for cable identific
ation.
- One pink sleeve with black printing for FIN on the harness.
NOTE: When a safety cable is in aluminum, the sleeve must be pink and printed in blac
k.
1 Single-core cables
- These cables are identified with sleeves NSA937201ME.Ref. Fig. Cable Functio
nal Identification - Example for Non-Printable Cables (without Sheath)
- Sleeve length must be between 25 mm (0.98 in.) and 35 mm (1.38 in.).

a Each end of multi-core cable have a sleeve with an identification marking.
b The sleeve must be installed at a maximum distance of 150 mm (5.91 in.) fro
m the terminal crimping area.
c The color code is used to connect the cables.
d The multi-core cables must be identified at each end (only A350):
- With one number for all the core, or

- With numbers for each of the core.
NOTE: If there is only one multi-core in VU, it must be identified:

- With a sleeve, or
- With a color code on each core.
3 Twisted cables without sheath
a Cables of same color:

Ref. Fig. Cable Functional Identification - Example for Non-Printable Cables
(without Sheath)
Each end of cable must have a sleeve with the identification number and a let
ter code color.
b Cables of different colors:

(without Sheath)
Each cable must have an identification.
To do the identification, you can use:
- A sleeve with the item number on the cable.
- A sleeve on each wire if the single sleeve cannot be located at less tha
n 150 mm (5.91 in.) from the terminal crimping area.
c Cables partially untwisted

(without Sheath)
If a twisted cable is partially untwisted on a length greater than or equal to 2
00 mm (7.87 in.), you must add an identification sleeve on each individual ca
ble.
d Phase identification special case

Ref. Fig. Cable Functional Identification - Identification of 3 Phases Cable with
Same Color
When the three-core cables for phases have cores of the same color, use red,
yellow and blue sleeves to identify their related phases A, B and C.
The sleeve NSA937201MA will be installed on the terminal crimping area with
the pliers (speculum) STERLING KY type.
NOTE: The sleeve diameter must agree with the wire diameter.

NOTE: If necessary, you can cut the sleeve to decrease its length.
When the three-core twisted cables have cores of different colors, do not use
these phase identification sleeves.
The phase identification rule is:
- Phase A: red
- Phase B: yellow
- Phase C: blue
Slide a heat-shrinkable sleeve E0484 on the active part of the lug, but do not
shrink it. This will prevent damage to the lug. Remove this sleeve before the
terminal lug connection.
NOTE: If the diameter of the phase identification sleeve is smaller than the
diameter of the lug, you can install the phase identification sleeve o
n the cable, at the rear of the lug.

D. Specific Identification Marking

Ref. Fig. Cable Functional Identification - Specific Identification Marking
NOTE: You must not shrink the sleeve NSA937201.
(1) For optical cables:

A special label E0248 attached with NSA8420 lacing tape is used:
- At each harness connection between 0.5 m (1.64 ft.) and 1 m (3.28 ft.) from connection.
- At intervals of 2 m (6.56 ft.) (maximum pitch) in a straight section of the harnesses
- Adjacent to the pressure seals, floors, partitions, etc. for harnesses that go through them
- Adjacent to the end components (at each end of the cable)
- Adjacent to the optical cable exits (when the optical cable routing is in a standard harnes
s)
- Adjacent to the route identification labels.
The label must be installed on the complete harness made of electrical/optical cables or of co-rou
ted harnesses.
NOTE: You can use sleeves to identify the optical cable, because they are easy to make. If you
use a shrink sleeve, do not shrink it after installation.
A specific label ABS0724 or NSA931025 is installed adjacent to the optical connectors to show th
e special precautions related to this type of connector.
NOTE: For attachment and/or tying of the optical cables use cable tying with lacing tape NSA8
420 or cable ties NSA935401.
(2) For spare wire identification:

A specific sleeve NSA937201 is installed adjacent to the end components to give information.
(3) For draw wire identification:

A specific sleeve NSA937201 is installed adjacent to the end components to give information.
(4) For coaxial cables:

You must add a label ABS5342-01 at each end of the coaxial cable to give sufficient space for sp
ecific connection (for example spring connectors etc.)
This label must not have a black line and must have the manual indication "NO TYING BEYOND T
HIS POINT".
You must install it a maximum of 250 mm (9.84 in.) and a minimum of 200 mm (7.87 in.) from t
he rear of the coaxial contact and between the last attachment point and the connector.
You must not remove the label after installation of the harness.

1. Overview
This chapter gives the identification and marking rules applicable to electrical harnesses.
A. Definition
(1) Harness
- A harness is a group of cables attached together.

- All cables are identified Ref. ESPM 20-32-22-02.
- A vendor or the airframe manufacturer can supply some harnesses (for example in some r
adio or fuel systems). Such harnesses will have a FIN and will be identified as all other co
mponents.
- If supplied by a vendor (code YY), it will have a part number.
- If made by the airframe manufacturer, it will have a drawing number.
- Only the graphic symbol on the wiring diagram will identify the difference between two suc
h cases.
(2) Wiring segregations or routes
- For safety and to prevent possible interference, electrical harnesses are routed in relation
to their type and function in a number of physically isolated routes. These wiring segregati
ons or routes are divided into categories related to the aircraft type.
- A 2-digit reference is used to identify these categories Ref. ESPM 20-33-20-02.
B. Rules and precautions
- There must be no effect on the requirements or performance of the product and all markings mu
st be permanent.
- Identification carriers must always be marked with black color letters.
- After possible surface treatment, marking must be clearly seen without magnification.
- Marking must be centered, abrasion-proof and resistant to aircraft fluids.
- For Harness Functional Identification, characters height must be in accordance with NSA00
21-6 requirements.
- For Route Identification, characters height must be in accordance with NSA0021-7 require
ments.
NOTE: After printing, you must wait for a minimum time of 30 minutes (drying time) before you do
more processing of the identification carriers.
NOTE: For thermo transfer printers, no drying time is necessary.

REVISION REVISION
DATE NUMBER
ESPM 01-May-2024 49
Print date: 2024-06-30 18:41:49
NOTE: For harnesses that contain coaxial or WX cables or optical cables, it is necessary to attach the
labels with lacing tape NSA8420.
2. Harness Identification
A. Principle
Flags and labels on harnesses give many types of data:
- Positioning data such as the frames:
These positioning flags give harness pick-up points for correct installation of the harness on the ai
rcraft.
- Functional data (routes, sub-routes):
These functional identification labels must show the routes in the harness and be in a position to
prevent all risks of errors caused by in-service retrofit work.
- Functional Item Number (FIN) identification at harness end:
You must identify harness ends with E0248A labels where the identification of the end is shown.
NOTE: You can use the sleeves NSA937201 as an alternative to the labels E0248A.
For typical harnesses, these labels are white with black printing and are attached with two cable ti
es NSA935401 or lacing tape NSA8420.
NOTE: When all information cannot be printed on a single label, the use of two labels is permitted.
NOTE: labels must be attached with the same tying device used for harness tying except for coaxial c
able/bundle.
NOTE: In severe environments, you must use and attach the labels E0248A (6 holes) with three cabl
e ties NSA935401 or lacing tape NSA8420.
- They are usually put in areas of high wiring density:

At each harness end, at maximum intervals of:
- 4 m (13.12 ft.), in the same area (frame or rib) (for A318/A319/A320/A321)
- 2 m (6.56 ft.) for the A330/A340, A350 and A380 only (this does not include the routes ins
talled in wing raceways).
A380 wing route identification must be at each harness end at intervals of 2 m (6.56 ft.) so
that you can see the harnesses identification.
Route identification (for example M, S, P, etc.) must help the installation of new cables on th
e aircraft in the correct routes.
Route identification must use the yellow labels E0248 with black letters (this does not includ
e routes installed in wing raceways on the A350).
The route identification must show the identification information given on the electrical draw
ing.
This identification format must include for each harness branch:
- The classification ”essential/non essential” or ”technical/commercial”
- The route number
- The route category
- All the code digits but not the 5th digit (for example 1MFLY).
NOTE: For deviated routes (3rd digit), the digit that shows it is a deviated route must be
written only in the deviated part of the harness.
The identification includes the FIN of the termination with, in some cases, the abbreviated f
unctional designation. If there are no constraints on the harness these markers are found 1
30 mm (5.12 in.) maximum from the end.

ESPM 01-May-2024 49
Print date: 2024-06-30 18:41:49
If there are no constraints on the harness these markers must be installed at a sufficient dis
tance to avoid constraints on the harness where they are attached to and must be located cl
ose to the harness end.
B. General Harness Marking
(1) Identification of harness characteristics

This harness identification prevents the risk of harness inversion.
The labels E0248 used are white with data written in black color.
This identification type on harnesses must give the data that follows:
Ref. Fig. Harness Functional Identification - Marking on Harnesses which are Constituent/Not Con
stituent Assembly
(a) For a harness which is a constituent assembly:
- Part number of the harness (for example L92998125000XX)

- Constituent assembly code (for example LB682)
- Harness number (for example 8125VB)
- Serial number (for example SER PL1001) written by the harness manufacturer with
an indelible marker pen.
(b) For a harness which is not a constituent assembly:
- Part number of the harness (for example L92998125000XX)

- Harness number (for example 8125VB)
- Serial number (for example SER PL1001) written by the harness manufacturer with
an indelible marker pen.
(2) VB marking
If the harness has no branches, you must attach a VB marking to the harness at intervals of 2 m
(6.56 ft.). This is not applicable if the harness is supplied in a raceway and if other interval value
s are specified in the design document.
Labels are not necessary on branches shorter than 1 m (3.28 ft.).
(3) Harness end identification

Cables that stop at the same connecting component are identified by a label E0248.
The identification can show the electrical identifier of the component written on one or two lines
centered:
- Horizontally in relation to the vertical side of the placard
- Vertically in relation to the placard attachment holes Ref. ESPM 20-32-51-02.
(a) Identification label on a cable identification sleeve

Ref. Fig. Harness Functional Identification - Specific Harness End Identification
At harness ends, and when the length between equipment and identification is not sufficie
nt, the FIN identification label must be installed on the cable identification sleeves or solde
r sleeves.
(b) Installation of label on harnesses made of a small number cables


REVISION REVISION
DATE NUMBER
ESPM 01-May-2024 49
Print date: 2024-06-30 18:41:49
For harnesses made of a small number of cables attached with lacing tape NSA8420, two l
acing tapes can be added to attach the label on the cable.
It makes the adherence better between the cable and the label E0248.
(c) Overlap between VB and FIN identification labels

When the VB and FIN identification labels can not be installed correctly on short branches,
do the procedure that follows.
If the harness diameter is sufficiently high to prevent an overlap of the labels, install the t
wo identification labels ”back to back”.
Make sure that you can read the identification.
(d) Location of an identification label with convoluted conduits

When a convoluted conduit is installed at connector level, the identification label must be i
nstalled at the rear of the convoluted label.
Make sure that you can see the label.
C. Position Flags and Route Identification Labels - Marking
(1) Identification of route category for A318/A319/A320/A321 and A330/A340 only:

D. Label Type and Installation Procedure
NOTE: The reference number must be written permanently.
(1) For A318/A319/A320/A321 and A330/A340 only

Ref. Fig. Harness Functional Identification - Positioning and Identification with Label E0683
Cable harnesses are identified with adhesive label E0683 or label E0248.
(a) Standard harnesses
The identification marking is made with the labels E0683.
This type of marking is yellow, self-adhesive and stamped in black.
The reference will be shown on the label as many times as possible in relation to the loom
diameter (a minimum of two times).
The positioning of the label on the harness is related to the wiring direction.
The positioning of the marking must be as shown in the drawing.
NOTE: When the harness has protective sleeves longer than500 mm (19.69 in.), the ide
ntification marking must be the label E0248 put on the protective sleeve ends,10
mm (0.39 in.)from the clamps.
(b) Sheathed pylon harnesses

The identification marking is label E0248-6H attached to the harness with lacing tape NSA
8420 or sleeve NSA937201.
This type of marking is yellow and stamped in black.
(2) For A318/A319/A320/A321, A330/A340, A350 and A380 only

Ref. Fig. Harness Functional Identification - Examples of Flag Datum Markers
Ref. Fig. Harness Functional Identification - Example of Harness Identification (for ESS/N ESS Ro
utes)
Cable harnesses are identified by the identification label E0248-6H and the positioning flag ASNA
3565 or ABS5342-02.
- ASNA3565 must be installed on A318/A319/A320/A321 and A330/A340.
- ABS5342A-02–BL must be installed on A340-500/600, A350 and A380.
- You must install the flag datum markers directly on the harnesses.
- You must use flag datum markers at these locations:
- At the center line of the last attachment point
- On each side of the harness parts that move (for example VU or aircraft door hinges,
actuator controls, etc)
- Along the harness for sagging management
- At the interface connection, at the last attachment point

- On the harnesses that go through different areas (for example from the cabin to the
cargo compartment through the cargo floor)
- For optical cables at the last attachment point before connection.
Flag ASNA3565 or ABS5342-02 is used to show the correct position of the harness on the s
tructure. This flag is blue with a straight black line 1 mm (0.04 in.) thick and gives the mec
hanical position reference.
- For the G routes, you must install the labels on each cable.
- For the harnesses protected with convoluted conduit (for example ABS0887 or NSA93580
5), you must install the flag on the harness (in harness area not protected with conduit) o
r on the conduit (if protection is installed on all the length of the harness).
- An identification label must be installed adjacent to a positioning flag: 50 mm (1.97 in.) m
aximum and 30 mm (1.18 in.) minimum from the positioning flag (this does not include ro
utes installed in the wing raceways on the A350).
- The positioning flag must be installed so that the black line is along the axis of the structu
ral item used as a reference.
- When they are part of or attached in a harness, you must identify non essential by yellow
ABS5342-01 tape (without black line) installed at maximum intervals of 1 m (3.28 ft.) on t
he straight sections of the harness. The number of the route + non essential must be writt
en on the tape.
- For A350 and A380 only, you must identify essential (ESS) and non essential (N ESS) rout
es with yellow E0248-6H labels or equivalent installed at 2 m (6.56 ft.) intervals.
(a) Installation procedure of flag datum markers
1 For general process

Ref. Fig. Harness Functional Identification - Flag Installation for General Process
1. Cut a piece of the tape ABS5342 to a length related to the diameter of the ca
bles.
2. Align the axis of the tape with the reference axis. Wind the tape around a sm
all number of cables.
3. Do one of these procedures:
- If the harness has a protection with tape ABS5330, wind the tape ABS
5342 around this harness.
- If the harness has only one small gauge wire (example: EN2267 - DR2
4), wind the tape ABS5334 around the wire to increase the diameter. T
hen wind the tape ABS5342.
- If the harness has large gauge cables (for example: P route), make tw
o turns of the tape ABS5342 on one of the cables. Make sure that all t
he flags along the harness are installed on the same cable.
4. Wind the tape two times around all the cables.
5. Do one of these procedures:
- If the diameter of the harness is less than 10 mm (0.39 in.), fold the t
ape to make flag.
NOTE: The length L of the marker must be 50 mm (1.97 in.) maximu

m.
- If the diameter of the harness is more than or equal to 10 mm (0.39 i
n.), wind the tape but do not make a flag.
6. Identify the frame with the marker pen 0.4 mm (0.02 in.) (STABILO 841 or e
quivalent):
- On the flag datum, for a harness diameter less than 10 mm (0.39 in.).
REVISION REVISION

- On the tape, for a harness diameter more than or equal 10 mm (0.39 i

n.).
7. If the flag moves, put a lacing tape or a cable tie on each side of the flag (as
near as possible).
8. Wind and stretch the tape on three or four turns and tighten it after each tur
n. Make sure that the tape does not move.
2 For optical cables

Ref. Fig. Harness Functional Identification - Flag Installation for Optical Cables
1. Cut a piece of the tape ABS5342 to a length related to the diameter of the op
tical cables.
2. Fold down the ends of the tape on 10 mm (0.39 in.).
3. Install the optical cables in the middle of the tape.
4. Put the two sides of the tape together to bond it. Identify the frame or the cl
amp with a marker pen 0.4 mm (0.02 in.) (STABILO 841 or equivalent).
To remove the tape, pull the ends of the tape to unbond it without twisting th
e cables.
5. If the flag moves, put lacing tape or cable tie on each side of the flag (as nea
r as possible).
(3) On dynamic harness (between a mobile and fixed part)

Ref. Fig. Harness Functional Identification - Example of Marking on Dynamic Harnesses
For a harness at a hinge, a minimum length is necessary to prevent tears or breaks of the harne
ss. To make sure that you have a correct installation of the harness, you must install ASNA5107-
B flags or equivalent along the reference axis of the first attachment items on the two sides of th
e hinge. These positions must be shown in the harness installation drawing. In this case, the flag
ASNA5107-B is used for positioning, identification and to increase the mechanical protection of t
he harness below the clamp.
NOTE: If, adjacent to the last clamp, the last identification is with a white label E0248, label A
SNA5107 is only used to increase the mechanical protection of the harness below the cl
amp and the positioning flag.
(4) Identification on split conduits

Ref. Fig. Harness Functional Identification - Examples of Marking on Harnesses (For conduits, Spl
it/Spare Conduits)
You must install the flags ABS5342 directly on the cables or, if possible, on parts of harness with
no conduit.
(a) Installation for a harness:
- Install the tape ABS5342 on the harness.

- Make a flag with the tape ABS5342 (see § 2.D.(2).(a)).
- Install the split conduit.
- Make sure that part of the flag is out through the lips of the split conduit.
(b) Installation for a primary harness that contains some harnesses (with a protection or not):
- Install the flag ABS5342 in one of the harnesses (see § 2.D.(2).(a)).
NOTE: Installation of the flag on a harness without protection is also permitted.

1. Overview
Ref. Fig. Electrical Items Functional Identification - Labels for Boxes or Panels
This chapter gives the identification and marking rules applicable to the standard electrical items.
Boxes, panels or equipment that contain parts with voltages of more than 42V which are liable to expose mai
ntenance personnel to hazardous operations must have a label reading: ”CAUTION HIGH VOLTAGE INSIDE”. T
his label (ABS0724 for example) must have 6 mm (0.24 in.) white letters on a red background.
For A350 only:
Electrical boxes and panels that contain parts with voltages of more than 42VAC which are a risk for maintena
nce personnel must have a label. This label must be yellow with 6 mm (0.24 in.) black letters.
NOTE: This label is not necessary on interface plates where X or G routes are connected.
2. Electrical-items Functional-Identification Definition
A. Functional Item Numbers (FIN)

The electrical equipment items on the aircraft are identified by a unique identifier, designated Functiona
l Item Number (FIN).
The composition of the FIN differs between the various AIRBUS families:
(1) For WB, SA and LR programs only:
- Example for WB and SA programs:
SUPPLEMENTAR
CONNECTOR ID
SUFFIX (UP TO Y PART IDENTI
SEQUENCE NUM CIRCUIT LETTE ENTIFICATION
THREE NUMBER FICATION (BAC
BER R CODE (UP TO THREE L
S) KSHELL, HOUSI
ETTERS)
NG, ETC.)

ESPM 01-May-2024 49
Print date: 2024-06-30 18:42:38
(a) The composition of the FIN is:

Example: 301RH1A1
- A two-letter code that shows to which system or circuit the equipment belongs or th
at shows, for all components not specifically related to a circuit, a fictitious circuit (l
etter V) and the type of component.
- Suffixes which give the unique identification for individual items of equipment.
- Connector identification when it is a part of an item and the same FIN number as th
is item.
- Supplementary part identification (backshell, housing, etc.) when this part of an ite
m has the same FIN number as this item.
NOTE: Identical components which have the same function in the same circuit are differ
entiated by a suffix number.
The general rule is that an even suffix identifies a component on the right-hand s
ide and an odd suffix identifies a component on the left-hand side.
Example: 14CA1
(2) For A380 only:
(a) For circuits VC, VD, VG, VN, VP, VS and VT, the FIN format consists of 9 digits:
Example: 2512VN024
- The first digit indicates the installation area.
- The 2nd, 3rd and 4th digits indicate the partner allocation number.
- The two-letter code indicates the fictitious circuit (V) and the type of component
(N).
- The last three numbers indicate the detailed location or multiple elements of the co
mponent.
(b) For circuits VB, VE and VX, the FIN format consists of 7 to 9 digits:
Example: nnnnVBnnn
- The 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th numerical digits indicate the partner allocation number.
- The two-letter code indicates the fictitious circuit (V) and the type of component.
- The last three numbers indicate the multiple elements of the component (It is possi
ble to use only one number).
(c) For circuit VU, the FIN format consists of 7 to 9 digits:

Example: 1115VU1
- The 1st and 2nd numerical digits indicate the partner allocation number.
- The 3rd and 4th numerical digits (00) indicate a main assembly containing sub-asse
mblies.
- For the 4th digit:
An odd number indicates the left side (Except 5).
An even number indicates the right side.
Number "5" indicates a panel located on the aircraft centerline.
- The two-letter code indicates the fictitious circuit (V) and the type of component
(U).
- The last three numbers indicate the multiple elements of the component (It is possi
ble to use only one number).

B. Fictitious Circuit (letter V)

Fictitious circuits (letter V) are allocated to types of components that cannot be identified as part of a s
pecific system circuit.
(1) The codes of these fictitious circuits are:
VB = Cable bundle/harness
VC = Connector (appended letter A, B, etc. is added to identify the free connector: for example
1204VC A)
NOTE: For A380, there is no space or dash before the appended letter.
VD = Module diode unit
VE*= Panel (commercial) (not used for WB and SA programs)
VG = Screwed ground terminal block
VH = Ground and Resistor terminal module
VI = Connector plate/mount (for development only before VC allocation)
VM = Integrated control Panels (ICP)
VN = Ground point
VP = Pressure seal
VR = Resistance
VS = Splice
VT = Terminal block
VU* = Panel
VX* = Printed circuit board assembly
VZ* = Spare cable
* These fictitious components are not given in the ESPM.
In relation to the available space, the FINs and the functional designations can be written as follo
ws:
- Each FIN and its related functional designation on a special label, or
- Different FINs and their related functional designations on the same label.
NOTE: The FIN of each component (VC, VD, VG, VN, VT, switch, lights, etc.) must be ide
ntified on the structure with a label. This must be the same identification as on th
e harness ends (not for VC-A).
(2) Examples:
Components which are directly associated with a geographical block or which have interfaces wit
h several circuits.
All these fictitious components are identified in the equipment list of their fictitious circuit.
There are different kinds of fictitious-circuit electrical components:
- Components covered by a standard part number
for example: VS (splice), VP (pressure seals), VC (connector), etc.

REVISION REVISION
DATE NUMBER
ESPM 01-May-2024 49
Print date: 2024-06-30 18:42:38
- Components designed to support and assemble electrical items for a given function, usuall
y integrating several items of equipment and/or cables of different circuits. These compon
ents are covered by an aircraft drawing number
for example: VB (cable bundle), VX (printed electronic circuit board).
C. Electrical Flight Control System (EFCS)

The EFCS harnesses have specific connectors (VC).
These connectors make the interface between:
- The different EFCS harnesses.
- The EFCS harnesses and equipment.
- The EFCS harnesses and the different VU panels to which they are connected.
The EFCS harnesses and equipment are clearly identified by a pink or red mark.
You must use label E0248 or sleeves NSA937201.
In panels and boxes, you must use E0646 to identify the wire and E0248 to identify the extremities (sw
itches, connectors, etc.). For EFCS circuits, you must use labels printed in black on pink background (or
on red background for metallic labels).
Identification of each item is made by a permanent label that shows the Functional Item Number (FIN).

Ref. Fig. Electrical Items Functional Identification - Installation of Metallic Label NSA931025 on CFRP Structur
e
The methods to mark the items are related to the item categories and location.
There are three methods to mark:
- Self-adhesive label (ABS0724, E0470, E0683 or NSA931025)
- Identification sleeve (E0646, NSA937201 or NSA937203)
- Identification label (ABS1475 or E0248) with NSA935401 (TIE-WRAP type).
The functional identification of the equipment is given on the white sleeves when it is not easy to install labels
near the equipment.
These sleeves must be installed immediately after the identification of the connector or include this identificati
on.
Functional identification sleeves are attached where equipment is removable from its front face.
In all conditions, you must attach labels with the same tying device used for harness tying.
NOTE: It is not permitted to use metallic labels in the boxes and on panels that contain electrical items.
NOTE: It is not permitted to use metallic labels on Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) structure.
REVISION REVISION
DATE NUMBER
ESPM 01-May-2024 49
Print date: 2024-06-30 18:42:38
For A350, when you install the metallic labels on the CFRP structure, use one of the two solutions that follow:
- All the conductive items that directly touch each other must be electro-chemical compatible.
- The adhesive is used to make sure that the CFRP structure does not touch the metallic label (for examp
le, apply an adhesive compound such as HYSOL EA 934 NA or an equivalent product).
When you install the aluminum metallic labels on the CFRP structure in Severe Weather and Moisture Prone
(SWAMP) areas, it is necessary to install a protection (for example, glass fiber, interface sealant, etc.). It is ne
cessary to use varnish to protect the compound.
In hot areas, it is necessary to use special engraved metal labels that attach with rivets. The label must show
the identification of the function designation and the FIN.
NOTE: You can use one label for more than one item of equipment.
NOTE: It is not permitted to install the labels on the blankets.
NOTE: If it is not easy to read the label during the maintenance operation or if there is an ambiguity, a seco
nd label that shows the type of equipment as indicated on the wiring diagram will also be added to t
he loom.
The method to mark the electrical items are related to temperature ranges and the environmental co
nstraints.
- When equipment has a specified functional limit, white label NSA931025 or ABS0724 with black letters
(recommended) or a black label with white letters must be installed on the identification label of the eq
uipment. It is not possible to see the functional marking below these labels.
- Characters height must agree with NSA0021-8 requirements.

- You can use permanent marker to mark the electrical items, if the standard printing devices are not av
ailable.
A. Item Identification on Panels and Racks
(1) Marking type
(a) On panels or racks, the functional identification marking is:

In pressurized area:
- With ABS0724 or E0470 for normal system.
- With PINK ABS0724 or PINK E0470 for EFCS system.
In non-pressurized area:
- With NSA931025 for normal system.
- With PINK NSA931025 for EFCS system.
In non-pressurized areas, it is necessary to bond the label with Polysulfide Sealant_Fuel Ta
nk Quick Curing - (Material Ref. 06ABF1) and to apply Varnish Polyurethane_Low VOC - Ex
ternal Structure (Material Ref. 04SBA3) to the label.
(b) On circuit breaker panels, use labels:
- For areas free of hydraulic fluid, in accordance with NSA931025 Type 01.
- For areas in which hydraulic fluid (for example: Skydrol or HYJET IV (Material Ref. 1
68900)) is found, in accordance with NSA931025 Type 02.
(2) Identification of unplugged ventilation holes

REVISION REVISION
DATE NUMBER
ESPM 01-May-2024 49
Print date: 2024-06-30 18:42:38
An indelible and visible marking must identify the ventilation holes, located at the bottom of equi
pment racks (ARINC 600). The identification rule is applicable on all items fitted with ventilation
holes (for example ventilation boxes).
This marking can be made manually by a line, a band or an other marking, which remains visible
when the support in installed on the shelf.
(3) Operation
The labels are positioned above or to the left of items, and in exceptional conditions (when it is n
ot possible to use the above or left hand positions) below and to the right of items.
They are always visible when items are in place.
They are printed in white on black background or black on white background (recommended solu
tion).
(a) Pressure seals (VP)
A self-adhesive label is bonded to the support on each side of the pressure seal.
(b) Splices and Diodes

No self-adhesive label is necessary.
(c) Ground modules (VG) and ground points (VN)

Bond a self-adhesive label to the support near the ground module or point.
(d) Stud-type or modular terminal blocks (VT)

The terminal blocks are identified by a label fixed to the support, near the rail.
(e) Miscellaneous equipment

On circuit breakers or coded equipment items directly connected on aircraft, etc. Install a
self-adhesive label on the support near the equipment.
NOTE: Relays with the spike suppression function must be identified with an additional b
lue mark on the structure adjacent to the FIN label.
(f) Relays
1 On A380 and A350:
- Use identification label ABS0724-006A013 for Normal relays on Normal syste

m (Label has white background with black letters).
- Use identification label ABS0724-006P013 for Normal relays on EFCS system
(Label has pink background with black letters).
- Use identification label ABS0724-006B013 for spike suppression relay on Nor
mal system (Label has blue background with black letters).
- Use identification label ABS0724-006 for spike suppression relay on EFCS sys
tem (Label has blue and pink background with black letters).
(g) Specific Items

All specific EFCS equipment items (connectors, terminal blocks, relays) are identified clearl
y and permanently with a pink or red adhesive label E0248 bonded to the structure near e
ach item.

Ref. Fig. Electrical Items Functional Identification - Examples of Marking on Harnesses
(1) Marking type
Bundles of items are identified:
- For cables subjected to temperatures above 150 deg.C (302.0 deg.F), with E0248 labels a
nd NSA8420-7 lacing tape.
- For wiring subjected to temperatures above 260 deg.C (500.0 deg.F), with NSA937201 sle
eves.
NOTE: The labels must be attached by a minimum of two harness tying devices.
This identification sleeve or label has:
- In all cases, the FIN of the item.
- When the bundle ends in a VU, the VU number.
- And if necessary, the functional designation.
- On harness with diameter less than 5 mm (0.2 in.), the identification label must be replac
ed by a sleeve NSA937201.
NOTE: In vibration areas or hot areas or in Severe Weather and Moisture Prone (SWAMP) area
s, you must use a label E0248 16HP (6 holes) with three cable ties NSA935401.
NOTE: It is necessary to shrink the sleeves in electrical power centers or in areas that have se
vere environmental conditions.
NOTE: Identification sleeves must be in a position as near as possible to the connection you m
ust identify (max. distance100 mm (3.94 in.)). If necessary, you can attach these sleev
es with cable ties to prevent sliding.
NOTE: Identification sleeves can be shrunk. In this case, it must still be possible to turn, slide
and read them.
(2) Operation
These types of marking are made of plastic.
They are white for standard bundles or pink for the bundles of EFCS items, with FIN marking in b
lack.
They are installed on the cable bundle at 130 mm (5.12 in.) maximum from the end.
If the harness has no branch, you must attach a VB marking to the harness at intervals of 2 m
(6.56 ft.). This is not applicable if the harness is supplied in raceways and if other interval values
are specified in the design documents.
Labels are not necessary on branches shorter than 1 m (3.28 ft.).
Their position on the bundle will make correct reading possible when the bundle terminations are
connected.
Safety cables are identified by a pink colored sleeve or with the letter "S" printed at the end of th
e P/N (for example: 3151-0309S).
For EFCS harness:
- If the harness is routed alone, use cable tie NSA935401 with labels.
- If the harness is routed with other harnesses, use lacing tape NSA8420 with labels.

- Always shows the electrical identifier (Functional Item Number - FIN).
- Shows the electrical identifier (FIN) and the VU identifier when the harness is route
d to a VU.
If a sleeve (i.e. overbraiding, open sleeve or PTFE sleeve) is used on the cable, the
marking must be made on the sleeve.
(b) Rack connectors
NOTE: When segregation is required, the identification label is installed on one harness
and does not include the other routes.
Install an identification label E0248 or sleeve NSA937201 on the ARINC 600 and 404A con
nectors (ABS0831, E0161, E0163, E0165, E0086, E0145, E0147, E0726 and E0729) or de
rived connectors.
(c) Optical connectors

- A specific label ABS0724 or NSA931025 is installed near the optical connectors to in
dicate particular precautions related to this type of connector. This label must have
3.2 mm (0.13 in.) high black characters on a white background.
NOTE: You must use lacing tape NSA8420 to attach the identification labels. The use of
NSA935401 is not permitted to prevent damage to optical fiber harnesses.
NOTE: To make installation of the identification easier, the use of a sleeve is permitted. I
f you use a shrink sleeve, you must not shrink it to prevent damage.
(d) Ground modules (VG/VH) and ground points (VN)

perator (Not required inside fuel tanks) tying.
Along the Q route harness (or along the 4S/5S route harness for the A320 program), you
must use a special identification (ABS1475-01).
(m) Miscellaneous equipment

On adjacent circuit breakers and relays no identification label.
C. Special Cases
Ref. Fig. Electrical Items Functional Identification - Example of Marking in Small VUs
For marking with E0248 labels and E0470 adhesive labels refer Ref. ESPM 20-42-32-01 and Ref. ESPM
20-42-33-01.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE METAL LABELS IN BOXES THAT CONTAIN ELECTRICAL ITEMS AND
WIRING. IF THERE IS CHAFING OF THE CABLE INSULATION OR THE ELECTRICAL
COMPONENTS, SUCH LABELS CAN CAUSE SHORT CIRCUITS.
(1) Electrical Boxes (large and small VUs)
NOTE: A large VU is an electrical assembly consisting only of CF/DM/DR-type cables where the
radius of curvature is equal to 6xD.
A small VU is an electrical assembly consisting mainly of BF-type cables with low radius
of curvature equal to 3xD.
The electrical boxes have a label E0470 with the VU identification Number and a label NSA93102
5 with the Aircraft Number (MSN).
(2) Small VUs

Ref. Fig. Electrical Items Functional Identification - Installation of FIN labels
(a) Identification of cables
In small VUs, the cables (BF or CF type) have the sleeve E0646MF (printed in black on yell
ow background) (ex NSA937204MF) marked with the identification of the connection termi
nal of the related end.
Safety cables are identified with a pink sleeve, with the cable number printed in black.
Cables of the following items are not identified:
- Cut-off connectors (VC)
- Modular terminal block (VT)
- Ground point (VN)
- Illuminated VU plug (LF)
- Diode module (VD)
(b) Identification of FIN

A small label (E0248) must be used to identify all the equipment or electrical standard ite
ms, but not those that follow:
REVISION REVISION
DATE NUMBER
ESPM 01-May-2024 49
Print date: 2024-06-30 18:42:38
- Cut-off connectors (VC),

- Modular terminal block (VT),
- Ground point (VN),
- Illuminated VU plug (LF),
- Diode module (VD),
- Relay,
- Circuit breaker,
- Soldered selector switch.
On harness:
- A harness on the same standard item connection must be identified with a label E02
48 (2 holes) which includes the FIN.
- When you cannot install E0248, you must use NSA937201.
- The identification can be vertical or horizontal in relation to the cable marker attach
ment-holes.
(3) Large VUs

Ref. Fig. Electrical Items Functional Identification - Example of Marking in Large VUs
The identification of cables in large VUs must agree with the identification rules for normal aircraf
t wiring.
