Electric cables - Extended application of test results

This Technical Specification gives the procedure and rules for extended application of results of tests carried out according to the test methods described in EN 50399 and/or EN 60332-1-2. The EXAP rules described apply to EN 50399 test results used for classification in classes B2ca,Cca and Dca, additional smoke production classes s1, s2 and s3 and flaming droplets/particles. Cables of diameter 5,0 mm and less should be tested as bundles according to EN 50399 and are excluded from these rules. Bundled cables are not included in the EXAP rules. No rules have been developed for non circular cables which are not at present included in EN 50399. A specific EXAP rule has been developed for the most common generic power cable families. A general EXAP rule has been developed for any power cable families. The general EXAP rule is not applicable to communication or optical fibre cables. NOTE 1 Multicore power cables with more than 5 cores are sometimes referred to as control cables with a rated voltage but for the purposes of this standard are considered as power cables.
