Scope
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.
