This British Standard specifies requirements and test methods for the construction and performance of non-armoured, single core non-sheathed cables which:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    have a thermosetting insulation of rated voltage 450\/750 V;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    provide resistance to fire (circuit integrity), including mechanical shock, as measured by performance in a standard test;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. \n

    emit limited amounts of smoke and corrosive gases when burned as measured by a standard test;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  4. \n

    are flame retardant; and<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  5. \n

    are primarily, but not exclusively, intended for use inside metal enclosures such as steel conduit.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    This British Standard is applicable to cables for use in fixed installations in industrial areas, buildings and similar applications, where maintenance of power supply during a fire is required for a defined period of time.<\/p>\n

    \n
    \n NOTE 1<\/i>\n <\/div>\n

    Attention is drawn to the fact that the ability of a given cable to meet the test in this standard refers only to the test conditions stated, and the level of performance achieved in a particular installation can be influenced by actual installation conditions.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    The insulation and other components are suitable to permit operation of the cables at a maximum sustained conductor temperature of 90 \u00b0C and for a maximum short-circuit conductor temperature of 250 \u00b0C (for a maximum of 5 s).<\/p>\n

    \n
    \n NOTE 2<\/i>\n <\/div>\n

    Annex A<\/span> gives recommendations for the selection, installation and operation of cables. Annex B<\/span> gives notes on type tests.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
