Classification of fire performances

Cables can be classified in 7 classes of Reaction to Fire, identified by the letters from “F” to “A” and the subscript “ca” (cable) according to their increasing level of performance.

 
 

CABLES WITH REACTION TO FIRE REQUIREMENTS

The cables are classified in 7 classes of Reaction to Fire, identified by the letters from “F” to “A” and the subscript “ca” (cable) according to their increasing performance. 

In addition to this main classification, the European authorities have also regulated the use of the following additional parameters

 

SMOKE

FLAMING DROPLETS

ACIDITY

 

In Italy the CEI UNEL 35016 standard for electrical cables provides only the CPR classes of reaction to fire:

 
 

-B2ca-s1a, d1, a1;
-Cca-s1b, d1, a1;
-Cca-s3, d1, a3;
-Eca.
