Construction Products Regulation 305/2011
On the safe side with LEONI low fire hazard cables
From 1 July 2017, all energy cables, control cables and communication cables intended for permanent installation in building structures must be manufactured and evaluated in accordance with the harmonised European standard hEN 50575 and labelled with a CE marking pursuant to the EU Construction Products Regulation 305/2011.
In addition, a declaration of performance must also be prepared on the basis of assessments and classifications carried out by an accredited and notified testing body. A key element of the CE marking and declaration of performance stipulated by law is the specification of the fire rating.
LEONI offers low fire hazard cables with reduced flame propagation and heat development with the simultaneously low release of corrosive gases and smoke in accordance with the Regulation.
The provisions of the Construction Products Regulation allow for a series of fire ratings – from Aca (incombustible) to B2ca, Cca, Dca, Eca and Fca (no requirements, combustible).
Alongside the fire ratings, the following properties are also specified:
- Smoke emission (s1 to s3)
- Corrosivity (a1 to a3)
- Flaming droplets (d0 to d2)
For buildings with very high safety requirements, such as hospitals, low fire hazard cables with a B2cas1 d1 a1 rating should be used. For buildings with high safety requirements, such as schools, cables with a Ccas1 d1 a1 rating are adequate. For medium fire risks, cables with a Dcas2 d2 a1 rating are provided.
You can find more information about the individual classes, including the test procedures and classification criteria, in the publications of ZVEI e. V., Association of the Electrical and Digital Industry, Cable Makers' Association.
