19、ritish Standard specifies requirements and test methods for theconstruction and performance of cables which: have thermosetting insulation and a rated voltage of 300/500 V; provide resistance to fire (circuit integrity), including with mechanical shockand with water, as measured by performance in a

20、standard test or tests; emit limited amounts of smoke and corrosive gases when burned asmeasured by a standard test; and are primarily intended for use in emergency lighting, fire detection and firealarm system circuits.The circuit integrity performance under fire conditions is assessed on the basis

21、 oftests which measure resistance to fire with mechanical impact and water spray(Categories: Standard 30, Standard 60 and Enhanced 120).NOTE 1 BS 5266-1 and BS 5839-1 give recommendations and guidance on thefactors to be taken into account in the planning, design, installation, commissioningand main

23、ated drain wire of not less than0.5 mm2. All cables contain a metallic layer, which provides electrostaticscreening.The cables are suitable for operation at a maximum sustained conductortemperature of 70 C and for a maximum short-circuit conductor temperatureof 250 C (for a maximum period of 5 s).NO
