BS EN 6049-009 is one of a series of documents applicable for the installation of electric cables.
BS EN 6049-009 specifies the characteristics of post-installation flexible self-wrapping fire protection sleeves for electrical cable and cable bundles, providing 360° fire protection to electrical harnesses. The sleeve assembly gives fire resistance protection to the internal electrical harness against fire for five minutes and ensures that the electrical characteristics of cables will not be degraded.
BS EN 6049-009 on self-wrapping fire protection sleeve is useful for:
Aerospace electrical cables sustain intense vibration during take-off, flight, and landing, while also being subject to harsh environmental conditions. Cable faults cost money and create disruption, so there is an enormous demand for cable test techniques to ensure cables and joints are in good condition.
The requirements of the sleeve which protect the internal electrical harness against fire for five minutes and ensure that the electrical characteristics of cables will not be degraded are provided in BS EN 6049-009.
The material used in the manufacture of the sleeve has no corrosive effects upon the harness and is not susceptible to attack by Mold or other microorganisms is also provided in BS EN 6049-009.
