BS 7629-1:2008 Electric cables – Specification for 300/500 V fire resistant screened cables having low emission of smoke and corrosive gases when affected by fire – Part 1: Multicore and multipair cables
This British Standard specifies requirements and test methods for the
construction and performance of cables which:
• have a thermosetting insulation of rated voltage 300/500 V;
• provide resistance to fire (circuit integrity), including with
mechanical shock and with water, as measured by performance in
a standard test or tests;
• emit limited amounts of smoke and corrosive gases as measured
by standard tests;
• are primarily intended for use in emergency lighting, fire
detection and fire alarm system circuits.
