Nye brannkrav til kabler i Europa - Byggevareforordningen - CPR/Construction Products Regulation Gjeldende og kommende brannkrav til faste kabelinstallasjoner i bygninger og byggverk på land Elsikkerhetskonferansen 2015 Nye brannkrav til kabler i Europa under CPR 26.11.2015 Europacble-Norge TF-CPR NEK NK20 Ivar Granheim, Nexans Norway AS 1
Cables Fire requirements Dagens situasjon: Mange nasjonale test metoder I hovedsak basert på IEC 60332-1-2/flame spread /flammehemmet and IEC 60332-3/fire spread/brannspredning IEC 60331-serien for fire resistance/funksjonsdyktig/brannsikker/brannmotstand De fleste land har et minimumskrav til flammehemming Norge: IEC 60332-1-2/NEK400 og max 50 MJ/m kabelinstallasjon i rømningsveier/tek- Guidance 2
Branneffekter fra kabler Bidrar til brannspredning Bidrar til røykutvikling Bidrar med irriterende og korrosive gasser Bidrar med brennende dråper Alt i varierende grad avhengig av kabeltype / materialvalg og mengde Brann i kabler kan medføre at livsviktig utstyr slutter å virke 3
Kommende krav og testmetoder Produktets bidrag til brannspredning / brannbelastning Ny test basert på IEC 60332-3/A,B,C,D (EN 50266), som anbefales i noen bygg i dag/nek400 Ny testmetode = EN 50399 (strengere mhp. kabelmontasje ved avstand mellom kablene og høyere luftgjennomstrøming, fra: 5000 l/min, til: 8000 l/min. Modifisert til å måle varme- og røykutvikling i tillegg til brannspredning Observasjon av brennende dråper Dagens test = EN 60332-1-2 = CPR Brannklasse Eca 4

Cable supply under the CPR New obligations for regulators: To determine whether to regulate for cables fire performance at national level. It may be focus on other products for the safety level, but it does not matter for the producer, whom has to CE-mark and make all obligations stated. A National minimum requirement will give less confusion in the market. To determine what class of performance is applicable for a given application To use the common Euroclass performance in any new applicable national regulation To determine the equivalence of the new classes to existing national classes (Sintef NBL A13111 report) To translate existing regulatory requirements into new requirements based on the Euroclass performance within the transition/co-existence period Obligations also apply for certain de facto regulators (monopoly operators) 9

What consequences to expect from CPR implementation? Manufacturers and importers Obligatory CE-marking for all cables for fixed installation in construction, including: Declaration of Performance (DoP/Ytelseserkæring) i landets språk, oppdatert iht. produktversjon Marking/Labelling New obligatory 3rd party certification with continued factory inspections/fpc (ISO 9000, 14000) and product testing for products with higher fire performance;. i.e. Cca, B2ca As above for FPC and initial, witnessed Type testing for all Fire classes including Fire class Dca and Eca, when major changes affect the properties of the cable. Changes in product portfolio Products complying with new fire tests, EN 50399 13

Cable supply under the CPR Informasjonsbehov New obligations for users: To be aware of the new Euroclass performance To be aware of the availability of the DoP as a source of information on product performance To be aware of any applicable regulatory requirements To choose products most suitable for their intended use in construction works in both regulated and non-regulated applications Users may need to have a broad understanding of the relationship between the new common classes performance and that expressed through existing EU and International standards No changes to installation practice should be required due to CPR 16

Nye brannkrav til kabler i bygninger i Europa Branntestene og språket blir det samme Brann- og sikkerhetskravene forblir forskjellige i forskjellige land Strengere krav kan fortsatt bli aktuelt i bygg/deler av bygg (feks. Brannklasse Dca) hvor det er: Mange mennesker Vanskelig å evakuere Kravsamordning mellom Nordiske land diskuteres 18
