EN13501-6 Classification using data from reaction to fire tests on electric cables-Aca,B1ca,B2ca,Cca,Dca,Eca,

EU CPR regulations for the use of the European Union in the construction of the cable has a clear requirement, CE certification and product performance statement will become mandatory requirements. EN50575 standard for power, control box communication cables in the construction period to meet the fire safety requirements; EN13501-6 standards for building products and building components and equipment to do the fire rating requirements.

EN 13501-6:2014 Fire classification of construction products and building elements. Classification using data from reaction to fire tests on electric cables. BS EN 13501-6:2014 Status: Current; Published: March 2014。

EN13501-6 standard according to the cable heat release amount, the length of the destruction of fire and so on the flame of the cable is divided into seven levels: EN13501-6 Aca, B1ca, B2ca, Cca, Dca, Eca, Fca these seven levels.
 
This BS EN 13501-6 Standard provides the reaction to fire classification procedure for electric cables. NOTE For the purpose of this European Standard the term "electric cables" covers all power, control and communication cables, including optical fibre cables.
 
EN13501-6 main standard for cable fire test classification
EN ISO 1716: Heat of combustion test
EN 60332-1-2: Vertical flame spread of single cable
EN 50399: Buring behaviour and smoke production of bunched cable
EN 61034-2: Smoke production of burning cable
EN 60754-2: Acidity of gases producted by burning cables
 
EN ISO 1716 Heat of combustion test
The EN ISO 1716 test determines the potential maximum total heat release of a product when completely burning, regardless of its end use. The test is relevant for the class Aca. It allows the determination of both the gross heat of combustion (PCS) and the net heat of combustion (PCI).

EN 60332-1-2 Vertical flame spread of single cable
This test evaluates the flame spread of a single cable under exposure to a small flame. The test is relevant for the classes B1ca, B2ca, Dca and Eca.

EN50399 Burning behaviour and smoke production of bunched cable
For smoke production, the test is relevant for B1ca, B2ca, Cca and Dca in association with additional classification s.

This test evaluates the potential contribution of a cable, installed with other cables, to the development of a fire, under direct exposure to a flame source.
The test is relevant for the class B1ca using a 30KW flame source and special mounting requirements.
The test is relevant for the classes B2ca and Dca using a 20.5KW flame source.

EN 61034-2 Smoke production of burning cable
This test evaluates the potential contribution of a cable to obscuration of vision when burning under static air conditions. The test is relevant for the classes B1ca, B2ca and Cca and Dca, in association with the additional classification s

EN 60754-2 Acidity of gases produced by burning cables
This test evaluates the potential contribution of burning cable materials to produce acidic gases.The test is relevant for the classes B1ca, B2ca and Cca and Dca, in association with the additional classification a
