Electric cables. Thermosetting insulated, non-armoured cables with a voltage of 600/1 000V, for fixed installations, having low emissions of smoke and corrosive gases when affected by fire shop-only 8 Test specimen preparation1 Scope This British Standard specifies requirements and test methods for the construction and performance of non armoured cables with thermosetting insulation of rated voltages 600 1 000 V which, when assessed by the specified tests, produce lower levels of smoke and corrosive products under exposure to fire compared with cables conforming to BS 7889. NOTE 1 These tests are published in separate British Standards to which reference is made at the
