Method of test for resistance to fire of unprotected small cables for use in emergency circuits; German version EN 50200:2015
Prüfung des Isolationserhaltes im Brandfall von Kabeln mit kleinen Durchmessern für die Verwendung in Notstromkreisen bei ungeschützter Verlegung; Deutsche Fassung EN 50200:2015
Overview
This standard specifies the test method for cables designed to have intrinsic resistance to fire and intended for use as emergency circuits for alarm, lighting and communication purposes. This standard is applicable to cables for emergency circuits of rated voltage not exceeding 600 V/1 000 V, including those of rated voltage below 80 V and optical fibre cables. It includes details for the specific point of failure, continuity checking arrangement, test sample, test procedure and test report relevant to electric power and control cables with rated voltage up to and including 600 V/1 000 V. The cables are suitable to be used with Class II equipment. The responsible committee is Subcommittee DKE/UK 411.2 "Isolierte Starkstromleitungen" ("Insulated cables, wires and flexible cords for power installation") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
