The assessment detailed in this document was carried out by adopting the test methods of the selected
clauses of British Standard 6387 : 1994 as requested by the client.

Results

Clause No. Test Description Results Requirements

7.1 Conductor resistance at 20°C ( /km) 9.00 Maximum : 9.18 (see remark
4)

11.1 Resistance to fire alone (Category C) Complied No fuse shall be ruptured nor
Flame temperature : 950 ± 40°C (see remark 5) any lamp extinguished during
Test voltage : 600/1000V the test.
Test duration : 3 hours

11.2 Resistance to fire with water (Category W)


a) Bending test at ambient temperature
(OD<20 mm)
i) Observation Complied The sheath shall be free from
splits.
ii) Test voltage : 3.5 kV a.c. for 1 Not applicable No breakdown of the
minute insulation shall occur during
the test.
b) Resistance to fire with water Complied No fuse shall be ruptured nor
Flame temperature : 650 ± 40°C any lamp extinguished during
Test voltage : 600/1000V the test.
After 15 minutes of burning, turn on
the water supply to the sprinkler head
to give a spray of water over the
burned area of the cable sample.
Continue the flame and water spray
for a further 15 minutes.

Remarks:

1) Witness testing was conducted at Phelps Dodge International (Philippines) Inc. Luisita Industrial Park,
San Miguel, Tarlac City, Philippines from 20 Nov 2014 to 21 Nov 2014.

2) The scope of British Standard 6387 : 1994 does not cover cables having one insulated conductor
without metallic element. Tests were conducted by adopting the test methods specified in British
Standard 6387 : 1994.

3) The British Standard 6387 : 1994 is applicable to cables rated at voltages not exceeding 450/750V. The
voltage applied to the tests in this document were based on 600/1000V.

4) For conductor resistance at 20°C, no requirement provided as 2.0 mm 2 is not within the clause 7.1 of
British Standard 6387 : 1994. The requirement is accordance with PNS 1207:2006 as requested by the
client.

5) For resistance to fire alone, 4 metal supporting rings were used instead of 5 metal supporting rings as
stated in the clause D.2.1.2 of British Standard 6387 : 1994.

6) For resistance to fire with mechanical shock, each length of two steel runners is 1.2 m, size of board is
905 mm x 304 mm x 13 mm and the mass of the wall is 16.5 kg were used instead of the parameters
stated in the clause D.4.1.2 of British Standard 6387 : 1994.

7) Except for remarks 2 to 6, the sample tested is deemed to comply with the adopted test methods of
British Standard 6387 : 1994 for those tests conducted.
