BRANDCLASSIFICATIE

CPR & NEN 8012

The basis of the fire classification are agreements that have been made about the test methods. As a result, every product family of every cable manufacturer is tested for fire behavior in the same way. In addition, the test results are validated by a notified body specified in the product declaration of performance (DoP).

Summarized:

  • Fire tests for every product family
  • According to new defined CPR test methods
  • Notified body validation in DoP
  • Results lead to classification in a fire class

 

Fire propagation, heat release, smoke development, falling burning particles and corrosiveness/acidity influence the fire classification. The difference in smoke development between the halogen-containing (PVC) installation cable on the right and the halogen-free cable on the left has a lot of influence on the CPR fire classification.

Advantages of solar energy

Solar energy is renewable because it relies on sunlight, a naturally recurring, unlimited, and carbon-neutral resource. While the amount of sunlight that any given surface receives can vary considerably based on geography, seasons, and weather, solar energy is abundant and self-replenishing. According to the Office of Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy of the United States government, in fact, the sunlight that strikes the earth’s surface in just 90 minutes can handle the world’s energy needs for an entire year

Beyond its abundance, another key advantage of solar energy compared to other forms of renewable energy is its versatility and flexibility. Solar power can provide energy for a single home or building, with a technological system set up near the point of use (called “distributed generation”), or for a neighborhood or larger-scale community, using a centralized hub (often called a “solar power plant”).
