EN 175 301-801 specifies that connector inserts based ISO 1043,
Parts 1+2/1990 must marked with the identification mark for the plastic
used. Insulation
materials vary the way they form creepage paths the presence of
contamination and voltages. 4. This identification will make easier recycle the materials the
end their useful life.214: Material identification
4.1 Identification
A bill currently being debated the European parliament specifies that
plastic components heavier than must have material identification.1.

.4.2 CTI Value
CTI Comparative Tracking Index
The CTI value comparative index for the formation creepage paths. The growing
importance plastics, rapidly replacing ceramic for insulating materials,
made specification necessary. CEE Publication 17, dated October, 1958,
describes method for testing creepage current resistance
