Fire Resistance Cables LSZH 950C V

• BS 6387 C-W-Z (950 °C for 3 hrs)A cable that has passed all three BS 6387 tests: it maintained its circuit through direct flame, through flame with water spray, and through flame with mechanical shock. The grade specified for life-safety circuits.

  A cable that has passed all three BS 6387 tests: it maintained its circuit through direct flame, through flame with water spray, and through flame with mechanical shock. The grade specified for life-safety circuits.

• BS 8434-2The enhanced fire survival test for small cables in alarm systems, used where BS 5839-1 calls for enhanced grade.

  The enhanced fire survival test for small cables in alarm systems, used where BS 5839-1 calls for enhanced grade.

• EN 50200Fire resistance of the small cables used in emergency circuits: alarm, detection and evacuation wiring, tested for circuit survival rather than flame spread.

  Fire resistance of the small cables used in emergency circuits: alarm, detection and evacuation wiring, tested for circuit survival rather than flame spread.

• BS 5839-1The British code of practice for fire detection and alarm systems in non-domestic buildings: what decides which cable grade a circuit needs.

• IEC 60331-21Circuit integrity under fire: whether a cable keeps carrying current while it burns. This is the property that separates a fire-resistant cable from a merely flame-retardant one.

  Circuit integrity under fire: whether a cable keeps carrying current while it burns. This is the property that separates a fire-resistant cable from a merely flame-retardant one.

• IEC 60332-1Flame propagation on a single vertical cable. It shows the cable will not carry a fire along its own length, which is the minimum expected of any cable in an occupied building.

  Flame propagation on a single vertical cable. It shows the cable will not carry a fire along its own length, which is the minimum expected of any cable in an occupied building.

• IEC 60332-3-24Flame spread on a bundle of cables in a vertical tray, Category C. A cable can pass the single-cable test and still spread fire when hundreds are bunched in a riser, which is what this addresses.

  Flame spread on a bundle of cables in a vertical tray, Category C. A cable can pass the single-cable test and still spread fire when hundreds are bunched in a riser, which is what this addresses.

  Smoke density from a burning cable, measured in a sealed chamber. Low smoke is an evacuation requirement: people leave a building by sight.

• IEC 60754-1How much halogen acid gas the cable gives off when it burns. Halogen-free matters where people or sensitive equipment share the space with the cable.

  How much halogen acid gas the cable gives off when it burns. Halogen-free matters where people or sensitive equipment share the space with the cable.
