Fire safety is a topic that cannot be overlooked in modern construction technologies. Cables play a critical role in the spread or control of fire.
This is precisely where the CPR (Construction Products Regulation), introduced by the European Union for building materials, comes into play.
So, what exactly is CPR? Which cables are subject to this standard? And what is Nak Kablo's stance on CPR? You'll find answers to all your questions in this article.
📌 What is CPR?
The CPR, or "Construction Products Regulation," entered into force across the European Union on July 1, 2017. This regulation mandates that cables used in a building be classified and certified according to their behavior in the event of a fire.
This classification covers:
Fire spread rate
Heat release
Smoke density
Flame dripping
Acidity (toxic gas emission)
CPR-compliant cables are tested according to the EN 50575 standard and are classified from Aca to Fca using the Euroclass system.
As the cable class increases, fire performance improves.
💡 Why is it important?
It reduces the rate of fire spread.
It increases evacuation time.
It reduces toxic gas formation.
It increases the safety of life and property.
It ensures legal compliance (especially mandatory for exports to the EU).
🛠 What Do We Do at Nak Kablo?
At Nak Kablo, we fully implement the CPR (EN 50575) testing processes for our high-performance fire-resistant products and certify their compliance with DoP (Declaration of Performance) certificates obtained from independent testing institutions.
✅ Euroclass classification:
The products we develop are manufactured at performance levels up to Dca, Cca, and even B2ca for special projects.
✅ Halogen-free and low-smoke structures:
Flame-retardant cables facilitate user evacuation, ensuring system safety in the event of a fire.
✅ We focus on performance, not documentation:
At Nak Kablo, CPR is not just a piece of paper; it is at the heart of our entire engineering process, from product design to production formulation.
🧯 Which Projects Require CPR Cables?
Residential and office buildings
Shopping malls
Hotels
Schools and hospitals
High-density areas such as metro and airports
📢 Conclusion
Safe buildings begin with the right cable selection.
At Nak Kablo, we meet both the technical and legal requirements of your projects with CPR-compliant fire-resistant cables, ensuring you invest in the safety of life and property.
