Construction Products RegulationREGULATION (EU) No 305/2011 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT

AND OF THE COUNCIL

of 9 March 2011 laying down harmonised conditions for the marketing of construction products and

repealing Council Directive 89/106/EEC

(Text with EEA relevance)

‘construction product’ means any product or kit which is produced and placed on the market for

incorporation in a permanent manner in construction works or parts thereof and the performance of which

has an effect on the performance of the construction works with respect to the basic requirements for

construction works

‘kit’ means a construction product placed on the market by a single manufacturer as a set of at least two

separate components that need to be put together to be incorporated in the construction works

‘construction works’ means buildings and civil engineering works

The product standard EN 50575 for power, control and communication cables was cited in the Official

Journal of the European Union on 10th July (amended December 2015) - scheduling the start of the

application of the CPR to these products on 1st July 2016

CPR: Extension to OF Cables

[BS] EN 50575:2014Power, control and communication cables - Cables for general applications in

construction works subject to reaction to fire requirements

The “engine” of the Construction Products Regulations in relation to power, control

and communication cables

• product characteristics (classification via EN 13501-6)

• test methods

• assessment and verification

• marking, labelling and packaging

• relationship with the CPR

[BS] EN 13501-6:2014Fire classification of construction products and building elements

Part 6: Classification using data from reaction to fire tests on electric cables

Defines the requirements for each EuroClass

Covering “Reaction to Fire”

NOTE: the term “electric cables” covers all power, control and communication cables,

including optical fibre cables

Not covering “Release of dangerous substances”

Small change to text clarifying this has now delayed implementation of the CPR

until 1/7/2016

BS EN 50174-x Revisions and Amendment

BS EN 50174-1: 2017

Information technology. Cabling installation - Installation specification and quality assurance

Information technology cables that do not comply with EuroClass ECA (formerly the recommended

performance requirements of EN 60332-1-2) shall either be: :

1) terminated inside the building, within 2 m (unless an alternative distance if specified by local

regulations) of the point of internal penetration of the external fire barrier (e.g. floor/ceiling/wall);

or

2) any length exceeding 2 m (unless an alternative distance if specified by local regulations) is

installed within trunking or conduit that is considered as a fire barrier in accordance with local fire

regulations.

NOTE This also applies where the cable has to pass through a space between two external fire

barriers within a building.

BS EN 50174-2: 2017

Information technology. Cabling installation - Installation planning and practices inside buildings

BS EN 50174-3:2013 Amendment 1: 2016

Information technology. Cabling installation - Installation planning and practices outside buildings

BS EN 50174 series standards require that unmitigated installations

within a building adopt the use of EuroClass Eca as a minimum.

These cable management systems are designated as either “flame propagating” or “non-flame

propagating”. The selection of products shall be in accordance with local regulations. Where such

regulations do not exist then non-flame propagating shall be used inside buildingsNOTE: The flame spread requirements for non-flame propagating products are approximate to those of EuroClass Eca of EN 13501-6.

BS 8492 Ed.2: 2016

1st IMPLEMENTATION STANDARD TO REFERENCE THE CPR

Telecommunications equipment and telecommunications cabling

– Code of practice for fire performance and protectionBS 8492

CONTENTS

Balanced approach to fire threat mitigation: compartmentation

Fire protection measures: containment, detection and suppression

Mitigation by cabling component selection

SIGNIFICANT UPDATE OF ALL CABLE FIRE PERFORMANCE TEXTS

BS EN 50174 series standards require that unmitigated installations within a building adopt the use of

EuroClass Eca as a minimum.

Existing standards and specifications for cables or cabling may require one or more of these

requirements, but are most likely to be in accordance with BS EN 60332-3-24 (or -25) and BS

EN 61034-2 and/or BS EN 60754-1 which do not have direct equivalence with the Reaction to Fire requirements

of EuroClasses Dca, Cca, B2ca or B1ca.

EuroClass Cca has the closest correspondence to the bunched cable tests of BS EN 60332-3-24 (or -25).

The requirement for 60% light transmittance in escape routes within BS 7671 is equivalent to s1b

IMPACT

Future “installation specifications” need to reference EuroClasses

Ongoing obligations (maintenance contracts etc.)

need to be modified to reference EuroClasses

EuroClasses provide a defined and clearly specified set of requirements

There are a limited set of realistic, commercially viable options
