BS 7917:1999

This standard BS 7917:1999 Elastomer insulated fire resistant (limited circuit integrity) cables for fixed wiring in ships and on mobile and fixed offshore units. Requirements and test methods is classified in these ICS categories:

• 29.060.20 Cables
• 13.220.50 Fire-resistance of building materials and elements
• 47.020.60 Electrical equipment of ships and of marine structures

This British Standard specifies requirements for the construction, dimensions and mechanical and electrical properties of cables for fixed wiring of lighting, power, control, instrumentation and propulsion circuits in ships and on mobile and fixed offshore units, having a rated voltage up to and including 3 300/3 300 V, and which have fire resistance (limited circuit integrity) in the event of fire.

Requirements and dimensions for cables suitable for lighting, power, control, instrumentation and propulsion circuits; rated voltage 3.3/3.3 kV. The standard complements BS 6883.
