AS/NZS 1802 is the Australian and New Zealand standard that specifies construction and testing requirements for reeling and trailing cables specifically designed for use in underground coal mines.1 These cables are engineered to withstand the harsh environmental conditions found in mining operations, including mechanical stress, moisture, and potential exposure to hazardous atmospheres. The standard aligns with AS/NZS 2802 for cables developed to meet the special requirements of the surface mining industry and introduces critical safety features including earth fault screens and central pilot cores.
