" Identification markings of jacketed underground power cables and ducts are established in this guide. Included are various methods of identifying underground power cables and ducts, and the visual, chemical, and mechanical properties of the identification materials and/or methods, and their impact on the properties of the overall jacket or duct as well as their impact on installation practices.

IEEE Guide for Properties of Stripes and Ridges for Identification of Underground Power Cable Jackets and Ducts
Recommendations for colored stripes and raised ridges as identification markings on non-conducting and semiconducting underground power cable jackets are provided in this guide. Typically, power cables are identified by red stripes; however, other colors may be permitted. The guide also applies to the duct containing jacketed or unjacketed underground power cables. The colored stripe recommendations include the number of stripes, color, width, thickness, color retention characteristics, physical properties, storage criteria, and test methods. The raised ridge recommendations include physical properties, width, height, and circumferential spacing. It is the intent of this guide to provide a minimum level of physical, chemical, and color stability of colored stripes used to identify underground power cable jackets and ducts.
These standards have been replaced with a revised version of the standard, or by a compilation of the original active standard and all its existing amendments, corrigenda, and errata.
No Superseded Standards
These standards have been removed from active status through a ballot where the standard is made inactive as a consensus decision of a balloting group.
No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards
These standards are removed from active status through an administrative process for standards that have not undergone a revision process within 10 years.
