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.
