Elektroenergetski, krmilni in komunikacijski kabli - Kabli za splošno uporabo za gradbena dela glede na zahteve za odpornost proti požaru - Dopolnilo A1

Ta evropski standard določa zahteve glede odpornosti proti požaru, preskusne metode in metode za ocenjevanje električnih kablov za oskrbo z električno energijo ter nadzor in komunikacijo, ki so namenjeni za uporabo v gradbenih objektih in morajo izpolnjevati zahteve za odpornost proti požaru. Kabli, ki jih obravnava ta standard, so namenjeni za oskrbo z električno energijo ter komunikacijo v stavbah in drugih gradbenih inženirskih objektih z namenom omejitve nastanka ognja in dima ter njunega širjenja. Kablov, namenjenih za oskrbo z električno energijo, komunikacijo ter odkrivanje in obveščanje v stavbah in drugih gradbenih inženirskih objektih, kjer je ključnega pomena zagotavljanje kontinuiranega dovajanja energije in/ali signalnega napajanja varnostnih naprav, kot so alarmi, usmerjevalci poti in naprave za gašenje požarov, ta standard ne zajema. OPOMBA Ta evropski standard ne nadomešča električnih, mehanskih in okoljskih zahtev, ki so ključnega pomena za dokazovanje skladnosti z drugimi veljavnimi standardi/specifikacijami za kable.
Ta evropski standard zajema:
– energetske kable, – izolirane vodnike in kable za uporabo npr. pri oskrbi z električno energijo;
– kable za nadzor in komunikacijo, – žice, simetrične kable in koaksialne kable s kovinskimi vodniki za uporabo pri npr. telekomunikacijah, prenosu podatkov, radiofrekvenčni, video komunikacijski ter signalni in nadzorni opremi;
– kable z optičnimi vlakni za uporabo npr. pri telekomunikacijah, prenosu podatkov, radiofrekvenčni, video komunikacijski ter signalni in nadzorni opremi.

Overview

SIST EN 50575:2014/A1:2016 is a crucial amendment to the European Standard EN 50575:2014 that specifically addresses power, control, and communication cables intended for general use in construction works. This standard focuses on the reaction to fire requirements to ensure enhanced safety in building infrastructures. Developed by CLC/TC 20 “Electric cables,” the amendment was approved on March 24, 2016, and supports compliance with Regulation (EU) No. 305/2011 (Construction Products Regulation, CPR).

The amendment refines key regulatory elements particularly related to the relationship of the standard with other regulations beyond CPR, and it updates the Assessment and Verification of Constancy of Performance (AVCP) system applicable to cables subject to regulations on dangerous substances. The standard plays an essential role in fire resistance and safety criteria for electrical cables integrated into construction projects.

Key Topics

  • Scope and Applicability
    Applicable to a broad range of power, control, and communication cables used within construction works. It specifically focuses on cables requiring compliance with reaction to fire performance criteria as per EU regulations.

  • Amendments Included

    • Revised wording in the European Foreword clarifying the standard’s alignment with EU Regulations and additional directives such as the Low Voltage Directive (LVD).
    • Updated Table ZZ.2 reflecting an additional AVCP system (System 3) for cables used under regulations on dangerous substances. This ensures better classification and conformity assessment frameworks.
  • Reaction to Fire Performance
    Emphasizes the fire resistance capability of cables, classified into performance levels Aca, B1ca, B2ca, Cca, Dca, Eca, and Fca, which define the extent to which cables resist fire propagation and limit hazardous substances release.

  • AVCP Systems Explained
    The amendment clarifies the AVCP systems utilized:

    • System 1+: The highest level involving Factory Production Control (FPC) and third-party testing.
    • System 3: Involves Factory Production Control with third-party product testing but less stringent than System 1+.
    • System 4: Producer’s sole responsibility without third-party intervention.

Applications

  • Construction Industry
    Ensures cables used in buildings meet regulatory fire safety standards to minimize fire hazards – crucial in residential, commercial, and public buildings.

  • Electrical Installations
    Guides manufacturers and designers in selecting compliant cables for installations where fire reaction behavior is regulated, improving overall safety and meeting statutory requirements.

  • Regulatory Compliance
    Helps cable producers and construction companies align with the CPR and related EU legislation, streamlining product marketing and certification across European markets.

  • Hazardous Substances Management
    The inclusion of AVCP system 3 for cables subject to dangerous substances regulation enhances safety protocols when cables are installed in sensitive environments.

Related Standards

  • EN 50575:2014 – The base standard detailing reaction to fire requirements for cables in construction works before amendment A1.
  • Regulation (EU) No. 305/2011 (CPR) – The fundamental regulation governing construction product performance, including cable fire safety.
  • Low Voltage Directive (2006/95/EC) – May impose additional electrical safety requirements beyond fire performance.
  • IEC/EN 60332 Series – Related standards specifying tests on cables under fire conditions, often referenced alongside EN 50575.

By adhering to SIST EN 50575:2014/A1:2016, manufacturers and stakeholders in the building and electrical sectors can ensure that cables installed comply with stringent fire safety regulations, enhancing protection for occupants and infrastructure while facilitating smooth regulatory approvals within the European Union.

この記事は、SIST EN 50575: 2014 / A1: 2016という欧州規格について説明しています。この規格は、建設作業で使用される電力供給や制御および通信用途の電気ケーブルに関する防火性能の要求事項、試験および評価方法を定めています。この規格に含まれるケーブルは、建物や土木工事において、火災や煙の発生と拡散を制限することを目的として使用されることを意図しています。ただし、本規格は、エレベーターや消防設備といった安全設備の電力や信号の供給の継続性を保証する必要がある建物や土木工事で使用される電力供給、通信、火災検知および警報用途のケーブルには適用されません。注意点として、この欧州規格は他の適用可能なケーブル規格や仕様において、電気的、機械的および環境的な要件の順守を証明するために必要な要件を代替するものではありません。

The article discusses a European standard called SIST EN 50575:2014/A1:2016, which sets requirements for the reaction to fire performance of power, control, and communication cables used in construction works. The standard specifies test and assessment methods for these cables, which are intended to limit the spread of fire and smoke in buildings and civil engineering works. However, the standard does not replace other requirements related to electrical, mechanical, and environmental compliance outlined in other cable standards or specifications.

이 기사는 SIST EN 50575: 2014 / A1: 2016라는 유럽 표준에 대해 설명합니다. 이 표준은 건설 작업에서 사용되는 전기 케이블과 제어 및 통신 목적으로 사용되는 케이블에 대한 화재 반응 성능 요구 사항, 테스트 및 평가 방법을 규정합니다. 이 표준에 따른 케이블은 불과 연기의 발생과 확산을 제한하기 위해 건물 및 기타 토목 공사에서 전기와 통신을 공급하는 데 사용될 것으로 예상됩니다. 그러나 이 표준은 안전 설치물의 전원 및/또는 신호 공급의 연속성을 보장해야 하는 건물 및 기타 토목 공사에서 사용되는 전기 공급, 통신 및 화재 감지 및 경보에 사용되는 케이블은 해당되지 않습니다. 참고로 이 유럽 표준은 기타 관련 케이블 규격 및 명세에 대한 준수를 증명하기 위해 필수적인 전기, 기계 및 환경 요구 사항을 대체하지 않습니다.
