2 <strong>Fireproof</strong> <strong>cables</strong> <strong>in</strong> <strong>accordance</strong> <strong>with</strong> <strong>EU</strong> Construction Products Regulation (<strong>CPR</strong>)<br />
Scope of the <strong>EU</strong> Construction Products<br />
Regulation (<strong>CPR</strong>) No. 305/2011 for<br />
<strong>cables</strong><br />
With the aim of the European Union to improve<br />
the safety of houses and public build<strong>in</strong>gs,<br />
a system for the classification of construction<br />
products has been appropriately developed<br />
accord<strong>in</strong>g to the relevant fire behaviour. This<br />
applies throughout Europe <strong>with</strong><strong>in</strong> the scope of<br />
the Construction Products Regulation of 2011<br />
or <strong>CPR</strong>, as it is abbreviated <strong>in</strong> English.<br />
By means of a comprehensive certification system,<br />
the standard ensures that only approved<br />
products are used <strong>in</strong> the construction sector.<br />
It specifies the classification of <strong>cables</strong> and<br />
electrical l<strong>in</strong>es <strong>in</strong> specific classifications of fire<br />
behaviour (Euro classes from B2ca to Fca),<br />
establishes the requirements for the required<br />
appropriate test methods and procedures and<br />
determ<strong>in</strong>es to what extent the <strong>in</strong>volvement of a<br />
notified body is required <strong>in</strong> each <strong>in</strong>dividual fire<br />
behaviour classification. It also requires the CE<br />
mark<strong>in</strong>g of <strong>cables</strong>.<br />
XBK-KABEL already has cable constructions<br />
these days that conta<strong>in</strong> high-quality<br />
materials which ensure improved fire behaviour<br />
of <strong>cables</strong> and electrical l<strong>in</strong>es and thus<br />
contribute to the safety of humans.<br />
In the case of fire, less smoke and toxic gases<br />
are produced. This means better visibility and<br />
improved chances to escape from the fire as<br />
well as a reduced danger for rescue workers.<br />
The application of the Construction Products<br />
Regulation (<strong>CPR</strong>) must be implemented by<br />
1st July 2017. This regulation is b<strong>in</strong>d<strong>in</strong>g for<br />
all member states s<strong>in</strong>ce it has entered <strong>in</strong>to<br />
force on 1st July 2013, and <strong>cables</strong>, which are<br />
permanently <strong>in</strong>stalled <strong>in</strong> the build<strong>in</strong>g and for<br />
which harmonised European standards on the<br />
basis of the Construction Products Regulation<br />
(<strong>CPR</strong>) also applies, are now also <strong>in</strong>cluded <strong>in</strong><br />
this regulation.<br />
Classification of <strong>cables</strong> as a construction<br />
product<br />
Accord<strong>in</strong>g to the def<strong>in</strong>ition of the European<br />
Commission and the European Court of Justice,<br />
a cable is only considered as a construction<br />
product <strong>with</strong><strong>in</strong> the mean<strong>in</strong>g of the Construction<br />
Products Regulation, if it cannot be<br />
removed from the build<strong>in</strong>g <strong>with</strong>out any<br />
associated construction work. This is especially<br />
the case if the <strong>cables</strong> are <strong>in</strong>stalled flush-mounted<br />
or <strong>in</strong> permanently <strong>in</strong>stalled cable ducts.<br />
Implementation deadl<strong>in</strong>e for EN 50575<br />
EN 50575 has entered <strong>in</strong>to force on 1st July<br />
2016. However, its actual implementation is<br />
subject to an implementation period until 30th<br />
June 2017. Hence, the date of the first delivery<br />
of XBK-KABEL to the respective European<br />
customers is decisive for the fulfilment of the<br />
applicable statutory requirements.<br />

Therefore, if a product is placed on the market<br />
before 1st July 2017 <strong>with</strong>out comply<strong>in</strong>g <strong>with</strong><br />
the requirements of the Construction Products<br />
Regulation (<strong>CPR</strong>) and is subsequently<br />
resold <strong>with</strong><strong>in</strong> the <strong>EU</strong> after this date, the reseller<br />
behaves absolutely lawfully: S<strong>in</strong>ce the cable<br />
was already brought onto the market <strong>in</strong><br />
compliance <strong>with</strong> the standards and guidel<strong>in</strong>es,<br />
the subsequent distributors <strong>in</strong> the distribution<br />
cha<strong>in</strong> can also resell the cable after 01st July<br />
2017 <strong>with</strong>out the obligatory data and documentation<br />
of the Construction Products Regulation<br />
(<strong>CPR</strong>). Products that have been <strong>in</strong>troduced<br />
on the market for the first time by 30th June<br />
2017 do therefore not require documentation<br />
<strong>in</strong> <strong>accordance</strong> <strong>with</strong> the Construction Products<br />
Regulation (<strong>CPR</strong>) and EN 50575.<br />
Euroclasses of the Construction Products<br />
Regulation (<strong>CPR</strong>)<br />
On the basis of the Commission’s delegated<br />
regulation (<strong>EU</strong>) 2016/364 of 1st July 2015 on<br />
the classification of the fire behaviour of<br />
construction products, a s<strong>in</strong>gle and unique<br />
criterion for the classification <strong>with</strong><strong>in</strong> the <strong>EU</strong> was<br />
created. In order to be able to determ<strong>in</strong>e the<br />
reaction to fire, different classes <strong>with</strong> the criteria<br />
for the classification were def<strong>in</strong>ed,<br />
depend<strong>in</strong>g on the heat release <strong>in</strong> the case of<br />
fire. In addition, it is also <strong>in</strong>tended that the<br />
manufacturer can use the „no performance<br />
determ<strong>in</strong>ed“ option (Euroclass Fca), if no<br />
conditions are specified for reaction to fire.<br />
