Title
UL Standard for Safety Test for Flame-Propagation and Smoke-Density Values for Electrical and Optical-Fiber Cables Used in Spaces Transporting Environmental Air
Underwriters Laboratories Inc.
Publication Date:
Nov 23, 1998
Scope:
This Standard covers the test method for determining values of
flame-propagation distance and optical smoke density for electrical and
optical-fiber cables that are intended to be installed in ducts,
plenums, and other spaces used to transport environmental air without
the cables being enclosed in raceways in those spaces.
The purpose of this test is to determine whether the flame-propagation
and smoke-generating characteristics of cables without raceways are
within the limits specified in the National Electrical Code (NEC).
Cables having adequate fire-resistant and low-smoke-producing
characteristics need not comply with general wiring methods when the
cables are installed (without raceways) in environmental-air ducts,
concealed hollow building spaces used as ducts for environmental air,
and other environmental-air-handling spaces not specifically excluded
(areas involving grease and flammable dust, vapor, and the like). This
test method is essentially the same as the test method described in the
Standard Method of Test for Fire and Smoke Characteristics of Wires and
Cables, NFPA 262.
This test method does not investigate the toxicity of the products of
combustion or decomposition.
This test method does not cover the construction requirements for cables
or the electrical, optical, or other performance requirements for
cables.
A product that contains features, characteristics, components,
materials, or systems new or different from those covered by the
requirements in this Standard, and that involves a risk of fire or of
electric shock or injury to persons, shall be evaluated using the
appropriate additional component and end-product requirements to
maintain the level of safety originally anticipated in the intent of
this Standard. A product whose features, characteristics, components,
materials, or systems conflict with specific requirements or provisions
of this Standard cannot be judged to comply with this Standard. Where
determined appropriate, revision of requirements shall be proposed and
adopted in conformance with the methods employed for development,
revision, and implementation of this Standard.
