    what is bs 8375 cable

    BS8573 is a British Standard for cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulated and low smoke zero halogen (LSZH) sheathed cables. These cables are designed to increase fire safety and reduce smoke in the event of a fire. They are suitable for use in areas where fire safety and environmental impact are key considerations.

    BS8573 cables have XLPE insulation and an LSZH sheath. XLPE insulation material is excellent for electricity and heat. The LSZH sheath stops toxic and corrosive gases being released when it gets hot. This material combination is safer and has a smaller impact on the environment than traditional PVC cables.

    BS8573 cable is used in places where fire safety and less smoke are important, like public buildings, transport, and areas with strict safety rules. This cable is fire-resistant and low-smoke for use in distribution, control, and instrumentation.

    When choosing and using LSZH cable, think about what you need for the installation. This includes following the right standards, thinking about the environment and needing fire-resistant and low-smoke cables. Following industry best practices and installation guidelines will help ensure the safe use of these cables.
