Cable Testing DIN 4102-12
Important Notice
In Europe there is no harmonized norm or regulation regarding Integrated Function Maintnance
(fire protection system). Each country couldhave its own norm or regulation, however the most
commonly used one is German standard DIN4102-12. DIN 4102-12 has been introduced by
approved testing and certification organisations in Germany, as the effect of years of experience
and numerous tests to maintain electric systems circuit integrity in the event of fire.
Among fundamental assumptions of the DIN 4102-12 standard is testing carefully if all systems of
cables and conduits, including mounting elements, effectively provide power supply to human life
saving devices in the event of fire.
BAKS has carried out more than sixty product tests together with the following cable
manufactures: Bitner, Dätwyler, Elkond, Elpar, Eupen, Facab Lynen, Kabtek, Madex, Nexans, NKT,
Prakab, Studer, Technokabel, TELE-FONIKA. All tests were conducted at the three accredited
institutes, i.e. DMT Dortmund, Fires Baltizovce, and ITB Fire Testing Laboratory in Warsaw, and
confirmed by applicable certificates.

Important! Up until now BAKS has carried out flaming tests with the following
cable producers: Bitner, Dätwyler, Elkond, Eupen, Facab Lynen, Kabtek, Madex,
NKT, Nexans, Studer, Technokabel, and Telefonika. For information whether
the applied system has gone through all appropriate fire testing and research, turn your
inquiry directly to its producer.
Particular emphasis has been recently placed on maintaining human safety in public utility buildings and
commercial and industrial occupancies in fire conditions. Therefore, it is of vital importance that the fire emergency
and signalling systems are reliable. To comply with the new safety requirements BAKS decided to carry out tests in
order to implement a new and modified cable tray and ladder system, in conformity with DIN 102 part 12.
Therefore, a cable management system together with all the cables must be inspected to ensure that during a fire
all electricity receivers are incessantly supplied with electric energy for the required period of time.
The standard is obligatory for low voltage that does not exceed 1kV. System Circuit Integrity in the Event of Fire in the
facility is classified within two different emergency running time groups: E30 and E90 Systems.
Example:
Marking E30 means that the requirement for maintaining circuit integrity of emergency machinery and equipment
to continue functioning in the building structure in the event of fire must not be shorter than 30 minutes. This
standard is designed for fire signalling, monitoring devices, and evacuation lighting, where water sprinkling system
is installed.
Marking E90 means that the requirement for maintaining circuit integrity of emergency machinery and equipment
to continue functioning in the building structure in the event of fire must be 90 minutes or longer. It has been
designed for ventilation devices of stairways and emergency exits, lift shafts, raising of fire water pressure, and for
devices that evacuate smoke and combustion gases.
BAKS has carried out repeated special tests in the accredited fire testing laboratories in Germany and Slovakia.
They were made on ceilings of cell and B20 class of concrete.
The base of research conducted according to the DIN 4102 norm were standard tests with products placed in
a fire test furnace. The process of preheating was conducted according to an internationally accepted
time-temperature curve diagram.

The support systems offered by BAKS comply with DIN 4102 part 12.
Accordingly, cable ladders may be suspended from ceilings, cable trays mounted to walls, fire resistant cables
attached to ceilings both in the vertical and horizontal plane, fixed to walls with a single support or ladder length.
For all systems several manufacturing and finishing methods are available for installers to select the most
appropriate option to suit onsite conditions.
Each Certificate of Conformity is issued by BAKS upon inspecting the completed electrical installation.
