BIS certification is essential for Halogen Free Flame Retardant (HFFR) Cables as per IS 17048:2018. This standard ensures that these cables meet stringent safety, performance, and fire-retardant requirements, making them ideal for use in critical applications where fire safety is paramount. Designed to minimize the release of toxic halogen gases during combustion, HFFR cables provide enhanced protection in environments such as residential, commercial, and industrial installations. Compliance with IS 17048:2018 signifies a manufacturer’s commitment to producing high-quality, safe, and reliable cables that adhere to national safety standards.
IS 17048:2018 – Halogen Free Flame Retardant Cables
The IS 17048:2018 standard specifies the material composition, construction, and performance requirements for HFFR cables used for working voltages up to and including 1,100 volts. It defines parameters such as insulation and sheath material, flame retardancy, smoke emission, and mechanical strength to ensure optimal safety and functionality. The standard also includes rigorous testing protocols to evaluate flame propagation, halogen content, and electrical properties, ensuring the reliability of these cables in fire-sensitive environments.
