This British Standard specifies a method of test to be used for small unprotected cables where the requirements of BS EN 50200 are modified to use a flame temperature of °C and the application of water spray. Compliance with the requirements of BS 5839-1:2002, 26.2e) may be demonstrated using this method.
NOTE 1 UK has been granted derogation from standstill from CENELEC Procedures in respect of the publication of BS 8434-2:2003.
NOTE 2 The method of water spray application is described in BS EN 50200:2006, Annex E .
It is emphasized that the fire tests do not assess a fire hazard, nor can the results of the fire tests alone guarantee safety. They only provide information to assist in the assessment of the suitability of a cable for a given application.
