This presentation examines the role of European and international standards in assessing the fire performance of PVC cable compounds. It outlines key testing methodologies, including reaction-to-fire classifications, and discusses how PVC formulations are engineered to meet stringent safety requirements. The work highlights the importance of standardised testing in enabling fair comparisons between materials and supports the continued development of PVC cable systems with enhanced fire safety performance.
