Construction Products Regulation (CPR)

This regulation applies to all construction products which are intended to be permanently used for the construction of buildings and civil engineering works. With regard to cables, this law applies to all power and installation cables, control cables, telecommunication and data cables. The purpose of construction products regulation is to ensure that all cables used in the European Union and installed in fixed installations are evaluated, classified and used (i.e. approved) according to the same criteria.

The regulation applies to the following cables: 

• Power cables;
• Installation cables and wires;
• Control cables;
• Telecommunication cables;
• Data cables. 

Six new fire reaction classes

Construction products regulation includes seven new safety classes from A to F, where A represents a non-flammable product and F a product, whose fire reaction properties cannot be determined. According to the new classification, cables usually belong to B, C, D and E class.
There are also additional criteria which determine the requirements of quantity of smoke emited during combustion, falling droplets created during combustion, acidity of the smoke and electrolytic conductivity.

Tootele kinnitatud CE-märgistus näitab, et toode vastab kõikidele kohaldatavates direktiivides esitatud nõuetele. Valides Draka tooted võite olla kindel, et saate kaablid, mis vastavad täielikult uues ehitustoodete regulatsioonis esitatud nõuetele.
