CPR compliance over cables

Cables permanently installed in any type of building and civil works are subject to the CPR

The CPR provides a new mandatory language to express the fire performance of construction products. Generally speaking, all cables used in any type of building and civil works are subject to the CPR unless they are specifically designed for temporary installations. Control and power circuits inside machinery, or elevators, are not subject to the CPR.

The CPR only specifies the reaction to fire and release of dangerous substances performances of cables. All other characteristics remain unaffected.
