Abstract
Provides a test specification for assessing cable management systems intended to prevent the premature collapse of wiring systems which may be caused by fire from an external source. Supports compliance with BS 7671 requirements by defining methods to verify cable retention and system performance under heat exposure. This aims to aid manufacturers, system designers, specifiers and installers to select and erect wiring systems to prevent cables from premature collapse.
