CPR Euroclasses Explained
CPR Euroclasses provide a clear, standardised way to understand how cables perform in the event of a fire, helping you select the right solution for safe and compliant installations. Cables are classified from Aca (highest performance) to Fca (lowest performance). For communication cables, the most commonly specified classes are:
What CPR Requires
Every CPR-compliant cable must include:
CE/UKCA Marking
Indicating conformity with CPR requirements.
A Declaration of Performance (DoP)
A legally required document that states: the product’s Euroclass, the manufacturer, the test standard used, the intended use and the notified body that carried out the testing
Correct labelling and packaging
Including the Euroclass and DoP reference number.
