Helping our customers stay compliant

Innovating to the highest level of safety standards.

 

We’re always innovating, so we can bring our customers the most technologically-advanced solutions in energy and telecommunications. Our products are produced to stringent safety standards, and all boast compliance with European CPR directives.

CPR applies to any cable product intended for use in infrastructure.
 
Manufacturers have a legal obligation to draw up a Declaration of Performance (DoP) which identifies a product, details its intended use, and features its reaction to certain fire performance characteristics.Once placed on the market, these products are required to carry the CE marking and Class of Performance on the product label.
 
Importers and distributors must ensure they only market CPR-compliant products.

The customer purchasing journey must remain as simple as it is today.

 

For years, Prysmian Group has been investing in industry-leading products, and has a range of high-performance cables that are fully compliant with regional CPR requirements. 

We support our customers by ensuring fire testingproduct positioning and materials development are completed to the highest standard. Each cable we produce comes with a DoP and carries the CE marking confirming compliance with fire resistance regulations set out in standard EN 50575:2014+A1:2016.
