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.
