BS7629-1 Standard Fire Performance Cable Enhanced Fire Resistant Cable
APPLICATION
Hard Skin Enhanced Fire Resistant Cables for use primarily in fire detection, fire alarm, voice alarm, and emergency lighting circuits. These cables are designed to continue to operate for a period of time in a fire situation. ‘Enhanced grade’ fire resistance is recommended for systems, in particular building types, in which cables might need to operate correctly during a fire for periods in excess of those normally required for single phase evacuation of a building.
