Prysmian’s FP600S fire resistant power cable has been approved by British Approvals Service for Cables (BASEC). 

Prysmain's FP600S cable

The certification marks the cable for compliance with the new highest level F120 category of the recently revised cable standard BS 7846:2009 for armoured, fire resistant 600/1000V cables having low emission of smoke and corrosive gas when affected by fire.

The company says the FP600S is designed to meet fire survival requirements now being requested by regulators and specifiers for life safety systems, property protection and firefighting systems that must remain functional in the event of a fire. 

Prysmian marketing manager, Julie Mould said, “All Prysmian cables are meticulously tested to ensure that they don’t just meet but exceed stringent British Standards requirements."
