- Fire Resistance: C-W-Z test as per BS 6387 for small sizes and IEC 60331-21 for large sizes which cannot fit in a conduit.

- Acid gas emission: Less than 0.5 % when tested to IEC 60754 & BS EN 50267

- Low smoke emission: As per IEC 61034 & BS EN 50268

- Ducab – FR SC cables comply to IEC 60331-21 fire test at increased temperature of 950°C, which is higher than that specified by the standard.

Technical Data Introduction Performance Characteristics is Fire Resistant Single Core cable with approval from Loss Prevention

Certification Board, UK for the use in emergency safety circuits to maintain circuit integrity

under fire conditions.

These cables are certified by LPCB as fire resistant on the basis of successful fire resistance

tests carried out in their laboratory. For smaller sizes which can fit in a conduit, C-W-Z tests of

BS 6387 are carried out whereas for large size cables a fire resistance test as per IEC 60331-21

is carried out at an enhanced temperature of 950°C. The applied voltage during the fire testing

is based on the 600/1000 volts system.

The cables are designed for laying in metallic conduit or in cable trunking

where electrical circuit integrity under fire circumstances is of paramount importance. These

cables are designed with special materials which ensure very low smoke and zero halogen in

the event of a fire. The low smoke generation gives better visibility in a fire situation aiding the

rescue operation and enabling the EXIT path to be seen clearly for escape. As there is no

halogen or acidic gas emission during burning of the cable, the sensitive equipments in the

surrounding areas are not affected adversely.

These cables employ primary insulation of Mica Glass fire resistant tape along with the

secondary insulation of Cross Linked Low Smoke and Fume (XL-LSF) material. This cable has

an operating temperature of 90°C. The cable is suitable for installation in accordance with BS

7671 – IEE wiring regulations.

Ducab’s Quality Management System is certified to ISO 9001 by BASEC.
