At FSC we refer to LSHF as Low Smoke Halogen Free
This term is interchangeable with LSZH (Low Smoke Zero
Halogen), LSOH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen), OHLS (Zero Halogen Low Smoke)
and FRNC (Flame Retardant Non-Corrosive). Beware of the terms LSF (Low
Smoke and Fume) or RP (Reduced Propogation), when relating to signal or
control cables will normally be modified PVC and produce 'Loads of Smoke
and Fume'!
Fire retardant, fire resistant, flame resistant or flame retardant?
These terms are often misunderstood. Most cables when
exposed to fire will not carry on functioning. If you require cable to
continue working in the event of fire, and in accordance with various
standards please call us. |
