BS 8519:2010 Selection and installation of fire-resistant power and control cable systems for life safety and fire-fighting applications - Code of practice
This British Standard gives guidance and recommendations on the
selection and installation of power and control cable systems which
are required to maintain their circuit integrity for life safety and
fire-fighting applications. It also gives specific recommendations for
electrical system design for such applications, and recommended limits
for survival times.
This British Standard does not give recommendations for those
installations covered in BS 5839‑1, BS 5839‑8, BS 5839‑9 and BS 5266‑1,
but makes reference to these standards in an informative capacity.
