Fire Rated Cable Cleats
Currently there are no European or IEC Standards for fire rated cable cleats and cable cleat systems – however requirements exist within other standards that can be adopted to prevent unsuitable cable supports, fixings or cleats being installed or specified where fire performance is vital.
The IEC61914 international standard requires non-metallic and composite cable cleats to have adequate resistance to flame propagation.
UL94, the standard for Safety of Flammability of Plastic Materials for Parts in Devices and Appliances, is a plastics flammability standard that classifies plastics according to how they burn in various orientations and thicknesses. Adherence to its V-O rating for polymers should be demanded by specifiers to ensure safe installation of cable cleats to clamp fire performance and fire resistant cables. UL94 V-0 rating means that burning stops within 10 seconds on a vertical specimen: drips of particles allowed as long as they are not inflamed.
The use of the description LSF (Low Smoke Fume) is common terminology with respect to polymers, but is misleading as it does not relate to a published standard and so can be interpreted in a wide variety of ways.

Stainless Steel Fire Resistant Cable Clamps
The Ellis Patents Phoenix cable clamp has been designed, developed, tested and manufactured in accordance with IEC 61914 (Cable Cleats for Electrical Installations). The Phoenix range is specifically designed for the installation of Fire Protection (FP) rated cables. Precision engineered from Type 316L stainless steel with single bolt fixing, Phoenix Cable Clamps are available in 11 sizes to suit single cables from 10mm to 65mm in diameter. To prove their fire resistance these cable cleats were used to secure a fire rated cable during a series of tests in accordance with BS 5839-1:2002, Section 26. 2d.
