The cable also complies with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standard- IEC/EN 60332-1-2 (flame retardant) and IEC/EN 61034-2 (low smoke emission).

The new Low Smoke Anti-Counterfeit cables with improved mechanical properties, are suitable for use in mining, residential, commercial and public buildings, like hospitals, schools, offices, and transportation facilities, where human safety is a top priority.
