Related Standards for Wire anda Cable fire performance
Many fires occurring today have electrical origins. In many cases, they are related to overloads and short circuits in connections, appliances, or even pipes that are inadequately designed and manufactured. In the event of a fire, the fire behavior of cables is an important factor in ensuring the safe evacuation of personnel.
Zero risk does not exist, however, its impact may be minimized. Therefore, fire performance testing is a standard requirement and is included in the rules and legislation of the construction and transport sectors in many countries around the world.
