Locations where a low level of emission of smoke
and corrosive gases are required in case of fire or
burning; installation in surface-mounted or embedded
conduits, or similar closed systems. Type 2
cables are for use where special fire performance is
necessary, or where local conditions or regulations
require increased levels of public safety. They are
especially suitable where cables are installed in
bunches. Suitable for fixed protected installation
in, lighting and control gear for voltages up to and
including 1000V a.c. or up to 750 V d.c. to earth. The
defined tests for smoke and halogen free gases relates
only to the cables, and not to cable and conduit
together. These cables are not intended to provide
circuit integrity in case of fire.
