02 IN A FIRE OUR CABLES BUY VITAL TIME, AND TIME SAVES LIVES. INTRODUCTION Prysmian Cables & Systems is a leader in the development of cables that reduce the risk and danger to people and property in fire situations. For years, Prysmian has invested in fire research and associated technology. The result of this research is a range of fire performance cables that cater to the needs of different fire safety standards and applications. The MIMS (mineral insulated metal sheath) range is the ultimate in fire survival cables (circuit integrity in a fire situation). This range will not propagate flame, produces no smoke and does not emit hazardous or acidic gas. In addition, the MIMS range offers high impact resistance/mechanical strength, has superior EMI/EMC performance and is non-ageing. MIMS is the only cable with approved characteristics for Earth Sheath Return (ESR) wiring that reduces wiring cost in high rise buildings by approximately 25%. MIMS cables provide reliable electrical wiring for mains power, lighting, control and emergency services for hotels, highrise commercial buildings, hospitals, tunnels, railways, in fact, wherever public safety is of utmost importance. The cables are also highly recommended for use in potentially hazardous situations such as oil refineries, gas and chemical plants (for situations corrosive to copper, a serving over bare copper sheathed cable should be used). These cables are also ideal for use in high temperature areas – power stations, steel works; or where hygiene is essential – food processing plants, breweries and dairies. The MIMS cable range is made to order and further details can be obtained in your request for quotation. Firestop is a range of polymeric fire performance cables designed to minimise the evolution of smoke, acidic and dangerous gases, while maintaining circuit integrity in a fire situation. The range has been developed in response to major fire code reform and is type tested to AS/NZS 5000.1 (where applicable) and AS/NZS 3013. Firestop cables are typically used in highrise buildings and other densely occupied places. They are used where power supply to essential circuits like water pumps, lift motors, emergency lighting, fire alarms and other automation and control systems is critical in the event of a fire. Afumex™ is a range of cables which give off minimal amounts of smoke and acidic gases. Afumex™ cables are designed to reduce hazards associated with fire, making them ideal for buildings that are regularly occupied such as multi-storey dwellings, office blocks, hotels and educational institutions. The Afumex™ range is also ideal for certain applications in buildings where large numbers of people congregate without being familiar with the layout e.g. cinemas, theatres, shopping centres and also tunnel applications. The focus of Prysmian research and development has been to reduce potential hazards by developing materials that will not propagate flame, contribute less smoke and emit by-products that are less corrosive. These performance criteria are part of Australian and International Standards that Prysmian 's range of Fire Performance cables are tested to conform to.

19 GENERAL INFORMATION The MIMS and Firestop cable ranges are for use where circuit integrity under fire conditions is important and where flame propagation,evolution of smoke, acid emissions and noxious gases are to be minimised to reduce the risk to personnel and equipment. COMPLIANCE WITH APPROVALS AND STANDARDS The Firestop cable range is manufactured to AS/NZS 5000.1 (where applicable). The Firestop range meets the requirements of thefollowing Standards: • AS/NZS 3000 – Australian/New Zealand Wiring Rules• AS/NZS 3013 – Electrical installations – classification of the fire and mechanical performance of wiring system elements• AS/NZS 4507 – Classification CI-1• AS/NZS 2293.1 – Emergency escape lighting and exit signs for buildings – System design, installation and operation Prysmian Cables Australia maintains Quality Certification to AS/NZS ISO 9001. CURRENT RATINGS  Firestop FS90 are insulated with X-90 XLPE and have a maximum conductor operating temperature of 90°C. Firestop Flat FS90 areinsulated with HFI-90-TP and have a maximum conductor operating temperature of 75°C. Air ambient temperature of 40°C, orground ambient temperature of 25°C is assumed. Firestop FS110 cables are insulated and sheathed with materials having superior thermal endurance properties. The cables arecapable of operating continuously at a conductor temperature of 110°C. If intended for use in non-metallic wiring enclosure, currentrating for 90°C shall be applied. The current ratings of these cables relate to single circuits and align with AS/NZS 3008.1.1 cables for alternating voltages up to 0.6/1kV.

20 GENERAL INFORMATION AS/NZS 3013 AS/NZS 3013 is an Australian/New Zealand Standard which sets out a classification system for wiring systems according to theirability to: • maintain circuit integrity under fire conditions for a specified period and,• maintain circuit integrity against mechanical damage of specified severity Firestop cable systems have an AS/NZS 3013 rating of WS51W and WS52W, which indicate a two hour fire rating providingprotection against light and moderate impact. MIMS have a rating of WS52W and WS53W, which also indicates a two hour fire rating providing protection against moderate andheavy impact. In addition, the supplementary letter ‘W’ at the end of the rating represents the ability of the wiring system tomaintain circuit integrity when subject to fire conditions followed by hosing with water. MECHANICAL PROTECTION Generally the Mechanical Protection offered by a wiring system using Firestop cables is a rating of WS X2 to AS/NZS 3013, ie:moderate impact. This can be improved to WS X3 which provides a level of medium impact against damage from vehicles such ascars and light commercial vehicles by: • addition of 1.6mm sheet steel coverage with a maximum unsupported span of 100mm• galvanised medium tube to AS1074 GUIDELINES RECOMMENDED BY PRYSMIAN CABLES & SYSTEMS The major consideration when installing AS/NZS 3013 fire rated cable is to maintain the integrity of the circuit when exposed to fireor other mechanical damage. In order to achieve this, the following needs to be considered: • Firestop cable is to be used in fixed applications only• Firestop cable to be installed in areas where temperature is minus 30°C or warmer (minus 20ºC or warmer for  FS-90 flat cable) • Firestop cable should be installed without joints or breaks through the fire hazard zone• Junctions or Termination Boxes within the fire hazard zone should have a rating commensurate with the cable• Bending radius of cable should be no less than 8 x OD set in position and 12 x OD during installation• Firestop cables are ACA approved under classification Special Application Cable when connected to an ACA permitted fire panel • Cables must be strapped to the cable support tray or ladder using stainless steel cable ties or other approved ways• Direct surface mounted multicore cables may be fastened to equally rated fire walls using galvanised ferrous saddle or  P-clips Components of a wiring system can be used with Firestop Cables providing they are approved as per Wiring Systems StandardAS/NZS 3013. RECOMMENDED FIXING DISTANCES Vertical – not more than 0.6 metres. Horizontal – not more than 1 metre where supported by cable tray, cable ladder or other continuous fire rated surface. Not morethan 0.6m when installed on the underside of a continuous fire rated surface. Catenary – not more than 0.3 metres. These are considered minimum requirements, all cables or bunches over 25mm in diameter need to be supported every 300mm.
