In 2012, UL temporarily suspended its certification program for fire-resistive and circuit integrity cables based on research on a wide array of current products and systems originally certified under UL 2196, Tests for Fire Resistive Cables, and ULC-S139, Standard Method of Fire Test for Evaluation of Integrity of Electrical Cables. This research indicated that these products no longer demonstrated the ability to consistently achieve a two-hour fire-resistive rating when subjected to the standard Fire Endurance Test of UL 2196. After further research, UL has modified its certification program for these products and promulgated new certifications applying revised requirements. This session will provide an overview of FR and CI cable, and provide an update on certification, research, and standards maintenance activities.
