SS 299:2021+C1:2024
Fire-resistant cables of rated voltage up to and including 600/1000 V for fixed installations, having low emission of smoke and corrosive gases when affected by fire – Requirements and test methods
OVERVIEW
Specifies the construction and performance on mechanical and electrical requirements and describes the methods of test relating to circuit integrity, for armoured and non-armoured fire-resistant power and control cables of rated voltages up to and including 600/1000 V having low emission of smoke and corrosive gases when affected by fire.
Specifies those requirements of cable related to characteristics required to enable circuit integrity to be maintained under fire conditions. Also specifies requirements of cable which exhibits properties of reduced flame spread, low levels of smoke emission and halogen free gas emission when exposed to fire.
Tests given in this standard are applicable to cables having two or more insulated conductors, whether or not the cables incorporate other metallic elements such as armour, screen or circuit protective conductor. They are also applicable to cables having one insulated conductor provided that the cables incorporate at least one other metallic element.
Does not cover mineral insulated copper-clad and communication cables.
Cables specified in this standard are intended to be used in fixed installations in residential, commercial, institutional and industrial buildings and similar applications, where maintenance of electricity supply during a fire is required for a defined period of time.
