The cable material is made of flame-retardant material and is therefore suitable for network installations in public and commercial buildings, schools, institutions, etc., as there are high requirements for cable installations to be flame-retardant or their reaction to fire according to the latest fire regulation, as described in the Construction Products Regulation EN 50575 "Power, signal, and communication cables. Cables for general application in construction works subject to reaction to fire requirements".

The cables must also meet the requirements for a new European fire classification, determined by tests of energy content, acid formation, heat release, smoke production, droplet formation, and fire spread. The existing fire classes will be replaced with seven new categories from A to F, as detailed in the standard.

Typically, an exemption can only be given for 10% of the cables that are not flame-retardant in commercial buildings. However, to facilitate the work, it is therefore easiest to "simply" choose cables with the right approvals, within both power, network, speaker, and data cables for all fixed installations, when building new or modernizing.

The EN 50575 standard as a book is not free, but can be purchased online from official stores.
