What is CPR

• CPR standardizes flammability ratings for permanently installed construction products in the EU.
• It includes: power, telecommunications, data, and control cables.
• CPR also designates minimum cable performance levels based on different installations, location types, and each EU member national requirements.
• Excluded: interconnect cables such as HDMI and patch cords; direct burial cables.

• Improves standardization across Europe of materials used in cable construction
• Sets higher safety levels for fire and dangerous substances
• Provides greater clarity and traceability of the cables used in construction
• Removes the fraudulent "knock-off" brands from the market

• There are 4 Classes that directly apply to low voltage cables:
  B2ca, Cca, Dca, and Eca

• These classes refer to combustible cables in ascending order of fire growth rate and release

CPR EuroClasses can be substituted - Higher to Lower Only

• Highest - B2ca-s1,d1,a1
• High - Cca-s1,d1,a1
• Medium High - Dca-s1,d1,a1
• Medium - Dca-s3,d2,a3
• Low - Eca
  
  

The higher the CPR EuroClass the higher the manufactoring costs.

B2ca and Cca also require continuous auditing of the manufacturer

Your cable pricing structure should be based on Euro Class Hierarchy

• DoP is the certificate issued by the manufacturer, referencing the notifying body's Certification of Compliance
• Manufacturers have legal obligation to provide written Declaration of Performance (DoP) in accordance with CPR requirements.
• All SCP DoP are posted online SCP DoP click here.

Each Country in Europe has different CPR regulations. Please refer to your country specific requirements. The above guide is for visual representation only

Each member state sets their own CPR requirements

If you are the one making the installation cable decisions. Please learn your country rules.

Installers are legally required to use the correct CPR rated cable for each installation
