CEMAC II Final report
CEMAC, CE MArking of Cables, is a project with the objective of supporting a smooth transfer from national reaction to fire requirements in Europe to harmonised CE-marking requirements. The starting point is the European Commission decision on classification criteria from 2006 and the test procedures referenced by the decision. The CEMAC project has improved the testing standards, developed procedures for Extended Application of Test Results, EXAP, and contributed with a large test data base. CEMAC is a co-operation between a group of research institutes, testing laboratories and industry, Europacable. It is believed that the results will be used in the European system shortly.
