Fire-Resistant Cable Support Systems
Fire rating classification The E90 (or E60) class signifies that the specific product has been in a fire test where the electric circuit has been functional for a
EI60, EI90, and EI120 are widely used fire resistance targets in cable tray specifications, yet they are often applied without a clear link to project risk, tested configurations, and lifecycle implications. The result is either over-specification (cost and complexity) or under-specification. The fire rating of trough-type fire-resistant cable trays is primarily defined by fire endurance —the duration for which structural integrity and electrical circuit continuity are maintained under standard fire exposure. In China, the authoritative governing standard is GB 29415-2013 Fire-Resistant. ucts; however, as an alternative DIN 4102-12 can be used. Cablofil cable tray is the preferred choice for...
