2 Fireproof cables in accordance with EU Construction Products Regulation (CPR)
Scope of the EU Construction Products
Regulation (CPR) No. 305/2011 for
cables
With the aim of the European Union to improve
the safety of houses and public buildings,
a system for the classification of construction
products has been appropriately developed
according to the relevant fire behaviour. This
applies throughout Europe within the scope of
the Construction Products Regulation of 2011
or CPR, as it is abbreviated in English.
By means of a comprehensive certification system,
the standard ensures that only approved
products are used in the construction sector.
It specifies the classification of cables and
electrical lines in specific classifications of fire
behaviour (Euro classes from B2ca to Fca),
establishes the requirements for the required
appropriate test methods and procedures and
determines to what extent the involvement of a
notified body is required in each individual fire
behaviour classification. It also requires the CE
marking of cables.
XBK-KABEL already has cable constructions
these days that contain high-quality
materials which ensure improved fire behaviour
of cables and electrical lines and thus
contribute to the safety of humans.
In the case of fire, less smoke and toxic gases
are produced. This means better visibility and
improved chances to escape from the fire as
well as a reduced danger for rescue workers.
The application of the Construction Products
Regulation (CPR) must be implemented by
1st July 2017. This regulation is binding for
all member states since it has entered into
force on 1st July 2013, and cables, which are
permanently installed in the building and for
which harmonised European standards on the
basis of the Construction Products Regulation
(CPR) also applies, are now also included in
this regulation.
Classification of cables as a construction
product
According to the definition of the European
Commission and the European Court of Justice,
a cable is only considered as a construction
product within the meaning of the Construction
Products Regulation, if it cannot be
removed from the building without any
associated construction work. This is especially
the case if the cables are installed flush-mounted
or in permanently installed cable ducts.
Implementation deadline for EN 50575
EN 50575 has entered into force on 1st July
2016. However, its actual implementation is
subject to an implementation period until 30th
June 2017. Hence, the date of the first delivery
of XBK-KABEL to the respective European
customers is decisive for the fulfilment of the
applicable statutory requirements.

Therefore, if a product is placed on the market
before 1st July 2017 without complying with
the requirements of the Construction Products
Regulation (CPR) and is subsequently
resold within the EU after this date, the reseller
behaves absolutely lawfully: Since the cable
was already brought onto the market in
compliance with the standards and guidelines,
the subsequent distributors in the distribution
chain can also resell the cable after 01st July
2017 without the obligatory data and documentation
of the Construction Products Regulation
(CPR). Products that have been introduced
on the market for the first time by 30th June
2017 do therefore not require documentation
in accordance with the Construction Products
Regulation (CPR) and EN 50575.
Euroclasses of the Construction Products
Regulation (CPR)
On the basis of the Commission’s delegated
regulation (EU) 2016/364 of 1st July 2015 on
the classification of the fire behaviour of
construction products, a single and unique
criterion for the classification within the EU was
created. In order to be able to determine the
reaction to fire, different classes with the criteria
for the classification were defined,
depending on the heat release in the case of
fire. In addition, it is also intended that the
manufacturer can use the „no performance
determined“ option (Euroclass Fca), if no
conditions are specified for reaction to fire.
