Cavicondor is glad to inform you that our H07Z1-K Type 2 (from 1,5 mmq to. 240 mmq) has been classified with the following CPR class: Cca s1b, d1, a1.

H07Z1-K Type 2 is a product made with a halogen free thermoplastic insulation. It is recommended for use in environments with high people density, even when not mandatory by law. For instance, they could be structure as hospitals, hotels, schools, theaters and so on….

Particularly, they are used when specific fire resistance features are needed and where local regulations demands high level of public safety with low smoking and toxic gas emission.

 

CPR Certification: Regulation

All the cables must be part of a specific class of fire reaction, related to their specific purpose. Energy cables and control cables, despite their nominal tension or use, have to meet specific fire reaction requirements, expressed by the CPR regulation:

  • Control cables and energy cables to be installed in civil engineer buildings or public places that must be in compliance with specific fire reaction requirements for safety reasons;
  • Alarm cables and energy cables to be installed in civil engineer buildings or public places that must be in compliance with specific fire reaction requirements that allows the cable to still be operative even in case of fire to guarantee service continuity.

 

CPR certification: Test

When it comes to CPR class identification the regulation to follow is EN 50575:2014 “Energy, control and communication cables – cables for general purposes to be used in building construction with specific fire reaction”.

The below Table 1 (tabella 1) shows the reference to European Regulations that provides several kind of tests to be passed in order to be classified within a specific fire reaction class.

Proper use of H07Z1-K Type 2
