Full Description

Scope

This standard provides a protocol for exposing cable samples to a theoretical 20 kW (70 000 BTU/h) flaming ignition source for a 20-min test duration. The test determines the flame propagation tendency of single-conductor and multi-conductor cables intended for use in cable trays.

Purpose

The purpose of this standard is to establish test protocols and performance criteria to determine the flame propagation tendency and optionally, smoke generation, of power, signal and fiber cables.

Abstract

Revision Standard - Active.Standardization of cable flame propagation testing is beneficial to cable manufacturers, distributors, and users. Uniform procedures; consistent, repeatable results; and measurable test acceptance criteria are required to allow comparisons among competing products and to allow selection of the correct product for the application. These criteria are detailed in this standard.
