By enforcing resistance limits, it ensures that a 10 mm² conductor in any compliant cable will perform the same way, anywhere in the world.

Class 2 (7-strand) vs Class 5 (many fine strands) have the same nominal area and similar resistance, but their termination methods differ. Fine strands need ferrules or special terminals. bs en/iec 60228

conductors are stranded. Composed of multiple wires twisted together, they offer greater flexibility than solid conductors. They are standard for larger cross-sectional areas (typically above 16mm²) and are used in power cables that require some degree of handling during installation but remain fixed in service. By enforcing resistance limits, it ensures that a
