Fire performance cables: applications, features and which specifications to use to get it right – Martyn Corbishley/Jonothan Sloam sponsored by Prysmian Fire-resistant cables have been available for many years, and the applications for them have initiated a range of British Standards, fire tests and codes of practice. Prysmian have developed and researched materials, test methods and cable designs in conjunction with regulators, manufacturers and installers to establish a range of fire-resistant cables for essential and emergency building services.
