318B to BS 6500(New BS EN 50525-3-11)
Application and Description
318B to BS 6500(New BS EN 50525-3-11) cables may be used as an indoor general wiring cable primarily for
installations in public areas. Examples include use on pendant lighting drops or as a general supply lead within
hospital or airport projects. 318B to BS 6500(New BS EN 50525-3-11) cables are suitable for installations where
fire, smoke emission and toxic fumes create a potential threat to life and equipment. 318B is equivalent to
harmonized code H05Z1Z1-F.
