This document (EN 13501-6:2018+A1:2022) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 127
“Fire safety in buildings”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an
identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by June 2023, and conflicting national standards shall be
withdrawn at the latest by September 2024.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document supersedes !EN 13501-6:2018".

This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the
European Free Trade Association.
CEN, CENELEC and EOTA committees preparing technical specifications for electric cables falling under
the Construction Product Regulation (305/2011), which contain performance requirements against
reaction to fire tests, should make reference to the reaction to fire classification given in this European
Standard and not refer directly to any specific fire test method.
This document has been prepared in cooperation with CLC/TC 20 “Electric cables”, CLC/TC 46X
“Communication cables” and CLC/TC 86A “Optical fibre cables”.
EN 13501, Fire classification of construction products and building elements consists of the following
