Construction Products Regulation (CPR) introduced the Euroclass levels as shown in the table below. The levels are designed to help save lives and protect buildings by enforcing a hierarchical system defining safety performance requirements in fires. Leviton offers datacom cabling in copper and fibre in all applicable Euroclass levels, including Eca, Dca, Cca and B2ca. This gives customers more options to meet the needs of their unique cabling environments and comply with CPR requirements specific to each different EU member state.
Also, for easy recognition of Euroclass level, Leviton is color coding its copper cabling. Copper cable jackets are colored as shown below to clearly identify the level of Euroclass cable. This color code is already being embraced by major European countries.
The unique color for each level simplifies visual inspections and allows for easy verification of CPR classification. Installers can quickly and easily determine which cables go in the appropriate locations to comply with specification. Also, inspectors can easily confirm visually that the cable complies to national regulations.
