CONSTRUCTION PRODUCT REGULATION (CPR)

Construction Product Regulation (CPR) is a regulation issued by the European Union (EU27) / UK with the purpose of regulating the limits of fire resistance and dangerous substances in the materials used in construction. This regulation applies to all products intended to be incorporated, permanently, in construction. It includes not only buildings but also civil engineering works. As far as cables are concerned, the legislation applies to power, telecommunications, and data & control cables. The purpose of CPR is to ensure that all cables used in permanent installations throughout the European Union (EU27) / UK are assessed, classified and approved under a single criterion.

It aims to make the single market work better and improve the free movement of construction products, by laying down uniform rules for the marketing of these products and by providing a common technical language to assess the performance of construction products. In this way the regulation also enables to ensure the safety of construction works.

WHO IS AFFECTED?

It is the legal responsibility of the manufacturer, distributor, or wholesaler to ensure products entering the supply chain meet the requirements of the directive, and in turn any minimum Euroclass required within a specific country or market. Each layer of the supply chain, from factory through distribution, to specifier and installer of the products in scope have clear responsibilities to ensure market compliance with CPR. These are summarized below:

Manufacturers

Ensure that products are tested and classified.

Ensure that the Declaration of Performance (DOP) is made available to the purchaser.

Ensure that the product label carries the appropriate CE-Mark to EN 50575 standard, Euroclass & DOP ID.

Distributors

Ensure that cable supplied is accompanied with all required regulatory documents

Ensure not to supply any product that they deem not to conform to its declared performance.

Ensure that products they believe do not meet either/both CPR or country-specific minimum Euroclass requirements are withdrawn from the market.

Ensure product traceability is transparent

Store and transport cables as not to ruin conformity.

Specifiers

Ensure technical specifications and tenders clearly state the required minimum Euroclass appropriate to the country or vertical market minimum requirement, as determined by regulators, standards bodies, or client.

Installers

Ensure that all installed cable is correctly marked and accompanied with correct DOP.

Ensure technical specifications and tenders clearly state the required minimum Euroclass appropriate to the country or vertical market minimum requirement, as determined by regulators, standards bodies, or client.

If in doubt, contact the distributor or manufacturer for advice.

CPR CHARACTERISTICS

The CPR update means performance tests on a cable’s reaction to fire will now be performed on; flame spread, heat release, smoke production, light transmittance, flaming droplets and acidity.

Cables will be categorised according to their performance level denoted by unique classification codes. In general the higher the performance class the higher the cable cost, due to differences in materials used, cable design and certification process.

Ensure proper installation: Once you have chosen high-quality cables and wires, make sure they are properly installed. Avoid placing anything on top of the cables and wires. Also, make sure that you don’t bend the cables and wires beyond their recommended bend radius. Ensure that during the installation there’s no damage caused to the cables and wires. It’s found that mechanical stresses caused during installation are more serious in nature than those when caused while in service.

Maintain the recommended operating temperature: When installing wires and cables, always read the manufacturer’s instructions. Always check the operating temperature of the cables and wires when you purchase. Operating temperature refers to the maximum and minimum temperatures that cables and wires can withstand. Exposing the cables and wires to higher temperatures can pose electrical hazards.

Training for the in-house staff: For the safety of your employees and factory, warehouse or manufacturing unit, make sure that the staff receives adequate training regarding the maintenance of cables and wires. Staff should look for any cracks and other damages caused to cables and wires and should get them repaired immediately.

Schedule regular inspections: For proper cable and wire maintenance, schedule regular inspections by qualified technicians. They will help you take appropriate action in case of a failure.

We hope you find these maintenance tips handy in ensuring the efficient use of industrial wires and cables. Know more at RR Kabel

Smoke: Silent Killer In Fire

Most of the indoor fire deaths are not caused by burns, but by inhalation of smoke. These killing fumes have more tricks up its sleeve.

Smoke inhalation’s symptoms aren’t as obvious as those of a major burn, so many people think they are fine as long as they get out of a house fire before suffering skin injury. However, people who breathe in smoke during a fire can have life-threatening consequences even if they have no other injuries. Smoke inhalation is even compared to the feeling of drowning. Exposure to hot gaseous products can cause serious respiratory complications. Smoke leads to disorientation and clouds your vision, making escape difficult.

Along with inhaling smoky air, the person trapped may breathe in harmful, toxic chemicals from items burned in the fire’s path adding to the suffocation. A major component adding fuel to this menace are wires and cables.

Majority of the wires and cables used in any residential or commercial building in India are offered with PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) insulation.

PVC when subjected to heat and fumes burns rapidly emitting dark and toxic smoke. As a product of combustion, PVC emits deadly chlorine gases which have pungent irritating odours and are classified as pulmonary irritants. These emissions further increase when commercial grade PVC material is used in the cable.

Hence, the Indian standards for wires and cables have the inclusion of PVC variants based on the fire performance characteristics viz., Flame Retardant (FR) and FR-LSH (Flame Retardant Low Smoke & Halogen).

Flame Retardant (FR) is the property of insulation or sheath material of a wire or a cable to slowdown the ignition process and prevent the flame propagation.

This material has two characteristics viz., Limited Oxygen Index (LOI) and Limited Temperature Index (LTI) supporting the fundamental FR requirements.

Limited Oxygen Index (LOI): It is the measure of the minimum percentage of oxygen required to support the combustion. In FR PVC this level is 29% minimum.

Limited Temperature Index (LTI): It is the minimum temperature at which the material supports combustion in air containing 21% of oxygen under controlled conditions. In FR PVC this requirement is 250°C at 21% oxygen.

However, FR PVC material is not supported with any measure to control the emission of dark and toxic smoke which is equally lethal.

The wires and cables offered with FR-LSH PVC materials have reduced smoke and toxic gas emission levels along with the above two characteristics viz., LOI and LTI.

As per the Indian standard for wires and cables, the maximum smoke and halogen acid gas emission permitted for FR-LSH PVC material is 60% and 20% respectively.

Fire Smoke - A silent killer, has been identified as the primary cause of death for victims of indoor fires.

We are now a global village, which means we need to be better prepared to deal with any adversity to protect ourselves and at the same time, the nation. With this responsibility, we have to necessarily review our infrastructure safety. Fire safety should be our top most priority for all developments specially for all the public buildings, schools, colleges, hospitals, malls theatres, etc., which are generally cramped up with people. Considering the impact of thick dark smoke during a fire hazard, it is a high time that we switch to products that emit low smoke and are non-toxic in nature.

No one can prevent every fire from starting. But you can surely reduce the risk of the lives of your loved ones.

Developing Future With Solar Energy | RR Kabel

Solar energy generation and utilization for mankind has been making headlines since the early 1930s. However, it indeed took more than 60 years to supply electricity to millions of human beings from renewable energy such as Solar. The world has shown its readiness to accelerate the transition towards global energy decarbonisation. Today human efforts are towards judicious utilization of finite fossil fuel and reduction in carbon footprints.

Solar energy can be considered as a never depleting source of clean energy for humans since the Sun still has more than 5 billion years of life according to NASA. Every 24 hours, enough sunlight touches the Earth to provide the energy for the entire planet for 24 years. As per some publications, “the Earth’s surface receives 120,000 Terawatts of solar irradiation, which represents 20,000 times more power than the whole planet needs.” This energy is renewable, inexhaustible & non-polluting. It is versatile and can be applied for small scale areas isolated from network to large scale energy generation. This gives the world the perfect reason to switch to Solar Energy!

The Government of India has set the target of installing 100 GW of solar energy by 2022, which has led to an unanticipated surge in solar power generation. This has further led to an enormous demand for solar panels, solar inverters, batteries, performance monitoring systems and not to mention, various special kinds of wires and cables suitable for their connections. These cables constitute a very small percentage of the total project cost, however, the type and quality of the cables selected for the solar application may directly impact the power output performance and system safety.

Solar cables popularly known as DC cables, have to withstand harsh environmental conditions and are generally placed at an isolated location. They have to survive constant high temperatures, UV radiations, ozone, mineral oils, acid, alkali, ammonia and fire risks with a life expectancy of 25 years. The quality, safety and profitability of a solar plant or project depends on the workmanship and efficiency of the components used. DC cables are the lifelines of Solar Power plants. Hence choosing an ordinary cable for such application may lead to high maintenance cost, reduced efficiency and compromise in fire safety.

In a rush to grab huge business opportunities, market shelves are filled with non-standard DC cables. Cables with look-alike constructions may absolutely be price competitive but cannot meet the required technical parameters and the adverse environmental condition. When the integrity of the whole project depends on these cables, it is meaningless to have price-oriented quality benchmarks for DC solar cables. We need to ensure the correct cable with the updated applicable standards and requirements.

RR KABEL offers Solar cable as per EN 50618 standard, meeting the most adverse environmental conditions. This cable is offered with Low Smoke and Halogen Free insulation and sheath materials. Electrolytic Tin coated copper conductor further adds to the non-corrosive properties and better solderability.
