IEC 60966-1:2019 is available as /2 which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition.

IEC 60966-1:2019 specifies requirements for radio frequency coaxial cable assemblies operating in the transverse electromagnetic mode (TEM) and establishes general requirements for testing the electrical, mechanical and environmental properties of radio frequency coaxial cable assemblies composed of cables and connectors. Additional requirements relating to specific families of cable assemblies are given in the relevant sectional specifications. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 1999. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) measurement method for screening effectiveness was cancelled; b) give references to relevant test procedures for transfer impedance and screening attenuation
