EVS-EN 50264-1:2008

EN 50264-1 specifies the general requirements applicable to the cables given in all other parts of EN 50264. It includes the detailed requirements for the insulating and sheathing materials and other components called up in the separate parts. In particular EN 50264-1 specifies those requirements relating to fire safety.  Based on proven experience and reliability over many years these cables are rated for occasional thermal stresses causing ageing equivalent to continuous operational life at a conductor temperature of 90 °C.  The maximum conductor temperature for short circuit conditions is 200 °C based on a duration of 5 s. This Part 1 should be read in conjunction with the other parts of EN 50264.
