BS7629-1

British Standards for cable construction tell manufacturers what materials to use for conductors, for insulation, for wire armour or metallic protection and for the final sheath. It specifies exactly what conductor resistance is required, the low smoke and zero halogen performance required. Specific to each cable type they are the recipe or construction manual for cable makers.

BS 7629-1 electric cables specification for 300/500 V fire resistant screened cables having low emission of smoke and corrosive gases when affected by fire and Multicore and multipair cables.

Draka’s FT30 Saffire and FT120 cables have been designed and tested to meet the requirements of this standard and they are also certified by BASEC and LPCB.

The British Approvals service for Cables (BASEC) also conducts random sample collection and testing and it audits a manufacturer’s procedures and test results to make sure the cable is as it should be. This third party certification provides confidence to engineers, building owners and insurers that the cable component of emergency systems meets all the necessary requirements.

This British Standard is the construction manual for the manufacturers of small cables that need low fire hazard performance and fire resistance.
