TRIAX fire safe cablesCE marked, meeting the new EU fire standard
About Construction Products Regulation (EU) No 305/2011This regulation, coming into force for cables from 1 July 2017, identifies a number of basic requirements to be met by products, including cables, used in construction works. One of these requirements, EN50575:2014+A1:2016, is ‘safety in case of fire’. All cables sold within the EU for the construction market must be CE marked, to show that they have been tested and classified accordingly and therefore meet these mandatory standards.
EN50575 defines a number of classes – Aca, B1ca, B2ca, Cca, Dca, Eca and Fca – which specify how a cable reacts to fire, based on heat release and the spread of flames. The classes and respective test methods are presented in the following table:
CE markings for cablesIn order to obtain the mandatory CE mark for cables, manufacturers must draw up a Declaration of Performance (DoP). This must be made available in the language of each EU country where the product is to be sold, and contain specific information such as product identification, its intended use, and its declared performance.
The DoP – and consequently the CE mark – can only be issued once the product has been thoroughly and independently tested by a ‘notified body,’ i.e. an entity that has been accredited by an EU Member State to make the required assessments.
TRIAX cables: fully tested and CE marked We are happy to assure our customers that all TRIAX cables are now stamped with the CE mark, and the necessary DoPs are available for each product line. The cables have been variously classified B2ca, Cca & Eca, meeting all statutory demands, and satisfying the recommendations of ZVEI, the German Electrical and Electronic Manufacturers’ Association.
