Abstract
Details construction, test methods and performance requirements for armoured fire-resistant cables with thermosetting insulation and of rated voltage 600/1,000V and low emission of smoke and corrosive gases when affected by fire. The circuit integrity performance under fire conditions is assessed on the basis of 4 tests which either separately measure resistance to fire, resistance to fire with water, and resistance to fire with mechanical shock, or in combination measure resistance to fire with mechanical shock and water.
