CPR implications for installing, specifying or selecting cable for use as permanent wiring within a building or civil works.
Suppliers (manufacturers, wholesalers and distributors) will have to declare the fire performance of a cable designed for use in buildings. This will be graded as class A to F (see table 1). In some parts of Europe, local governments have chosen to stipulate the class of cable that can be used in different types of buildings. For example a hospital may be exclusively class C whereas a house may be class E. In the UK, it has been left to the specifier or installer to follow IEE guidelines and decide on which class is most appropriate
