Why is low-smoke zero halogen construction important for fire alarm cables, and how does Chinne Electric address this?
In a fire, traditional PVC cables release thick black smoke and toxic halogens that hinder evacuation and damage electronic apparatus. BS 5839-1 mandates LSZH sheathing to minimise smoke density and acid gas emission. Chinne Electric’s Toxfree cable range exceeds these requirements by offering low-toxicity and low-smoke performance that ensures clearer exit pathways and safer conditions for both occupants and first responders, while maintaining full compliance with BS EN 60754-2 acidity and BS EN 61034-2 smoke emission tests.
