Application and Description

318B to BS 6500(New BS EN 50525-3-11) cables may be used as an indoor general wiring cable primarily for installations in public areas. Examples include use on pendant lighting drops or as a general supply lead within hospital or airport projects. 318B to BS 6500(New BS EN 50525-3-11) cables are suitable for installations where fire, smoke emission and toxic fumes create a potential threat to life and equipment. 318B is equivalent to harmonized code H05Z1Z1-F.
