BS EN 50525-1 is a European standard on low voltage energy cables.
BS EN 50525-1 is the first part of the multi-series that gives the general requirements for rigid and flexible energy cables of rated voltages U0/U up to and including 450/750 V a.c., used in power installations and with domestic and industrial appliances and equipment.
NOTE 1: For some types of flexible cables, the term "cord" is used
NOTE 2: Rated voltages are given by reference to alternating current (a.c.) systems. Use of the cables in direct current (d.c.) systems is permitted.
NOTE 3: National regulations may prescribe additional performance requirements for cables that are not given in the particular requirements. For example for buildings with high levels of public access, additional fire performanc...
