Specialist cable manufacturer Tratos is pleased to announce its Firesafe TW950e cables have been approved to London Underground Limited (LUL) standard 1-085 A3 and are now authorised for use in sub-surface locations, including tunnels and underground stations. Firesafe TW950e is an enhanced fire resistant cable for systems needing to operate fully during a fire for longer periods than those normally required for single phase evacuation; these include fire detection, alarm and emergency voice communication systems. In addition to LUL standard 1-085 A3, Firesafe TW950e conforms to BS7629-1:1997 (incorporating Amendments Nos 1 & 2), meets class PH120 in accordance with BS EN 50200:2000 and meets the requirements of enhanced fire resistant cable as described in BS 5839-1:2002 clause 26.2, defined in BS 8519. In addition to sub-surface locations, Firesafe is also suitable for use in high rise buildings that do not have sprinkler systems and have passed evacuation arrangements, or large premises where areas remote from the fire could remain occupied on the condition the fire does not damage cables serving the alarm system in those locations.
