Electric cables. Low voltage energy cables of rated voltages up to and including 450/750 V (U0/U) - Cables with special fire performance. Flexible cables with halogen-free crosslinked insulation, and low emission of smoke Ingestion-build-50790 BS 2559-2:19731 Scope EN 50525321 applies to flexible cables, insulated and sheathed with halogen free crosslinked compound and having low emission of smoke and corrosive gases when exposed to fire. NOTE 1 Low emission of smoke is checked in accordance with EN 610342. Low emission of corrosive gases is checked as part of the check for absence of halogens (see Annex B of EN 505251). The cables are of rated voltage U0 U 450 750 V. The cables are intended for the
