Cable Insulation Eccentricity

Cable Insulation Eccentricity

Cable Insulation Eccentricity

(OP)
I have a question that might be obvious to everyone but me, but here goes.
The recent change in AEIC and ICEA specifications has led to a change in the way extrusion dimensions are called out.
AEIC CS5 calls out insulation thickness using minimum average dimension requirements.  
The new version, AEIC CS8, references ICEA S94-649-2000, which defines all insulation thicknesses in terms of minimum and maximum points.

Which brings me to my question.  ICEA no longer has any eccentricity requirements (same with AEIC).  I suspect that the use of minimum and maximum extrusion limits probably lends itself to better control of eccentricity, but I kind of wanted to see if I am missing something.
Thanks,
Kraigb
