The Construction Products Regulation (CPR) is a mandatory EU framework governing the fire performance of construction products, including cables. The B2ca Euroclass represents one of the highest achievable ratings for reaction to fire. It signifies very limited contribution to fire growth, low smoke production, and no flaming droplets. For distributors and contractors, specifying B2ca cables is not just about compliance; it's about providing premium safety solutions for sensitive and high-occupancy buildings like schools, hospitals, and public transport networks.
We offer a comprehensive portfolio of cables with certified B2ca performance, ensuring your projects meet the strictest national requirements across EU member states.
Power Cables: For safe electrical distribution in critical infrastructure.
Control & Communication Cables: Ensuring system integrity and signal continuity during incident.
Fire Survival Cables: Specialized solutions for circuits that must remain operational under fire conditions (subject to specific system design).
Each cable comes with its unique Declaration of Performance (DoP) and is CE marked under the CPR, providing full legal traceability.
Partnering with Xingfa for your CPR cable supply translates into tangible market benefits:
Uncomplicated Compliance: We handle the complex classification process. You receive ready-to-sell, fully documented cables.
Technical & Sales Enablement: We provide detailed technical data, product guides, and support to help you win tenders specifying high Euroclasses.
Reliable Pan-European Supply: Our logistics are tailored for efficiency to major EU hubs, supported by the necessary documentation for seamless cross-border trade.
What does the 'B2ca' classification mean for a cable?
Under the CPR, cables are classified from Aca (highest) to Fca (lowest) for their reaction to fire. B2ca is a premium classification indicating very limited contribution to fire, along with additional criteria for smoke production (s1) and flaming droplets (d0). It is often required by national regulations for buildings with high public safety priorities.
What documentation do you provide to prove CPR B2ca compliance?
For every certified product, we supply the essential Declaration of Performance (DoP) document, which is the legal proof of compliance. We also make available the underlying fire test reports from a notified laboratory, and the product is CE marked accordingly.
Are your CPR B2ca cables suitable for use across all European Union countries?
Yes. The CPR is a harmonized EU regulation. A B2ca certified cable can be legally placed on the market in any EU member state. However, always check local national building codes (e.g., DE, FR, UK regulations) as they dictate where B2ca or other classes must be applied.
Can we order CPR cables with country-specific packaging or labeling?
Absolutely. We understand the need for local market adaptation. We offer customized packaging and can include necessary local language information on reels or labels to support your distribution.
How does your B2ca cable differ from lower Euroclass cables (like Cca or Dca)?
The key difference lies in enhanced fire safety performance during the early stages of a fire. B2ca cables are manufactured with advanced materials that significantly slow flame spread, produce less smoke, and prevent burning droplets, offering more time for evacuation and emergency response.
