FAQ

Q: What is section 12?

A: Many people were affected by the smoke and toxic fumes during the fire and the Section 12 regulations stipulate that everything – from display boards to electrical cables – must adhere to stringent safety standards. Cable in Section 12 locations must meet the requirements of LUL Standard 1-085, which details the fire safety performance of materials used on the London Underground. In particular, Section 3.3.3 of the Standard lists the flammability, flame spread and smoke emission requirements for cable. All cables undergo rigorous testing to comply with the regulations.

Q: Can I get a sample? 

A: Maybe. Because everything we manufacture is custom-made to each customer’s specification, we probably don’t have a sample that is exactly like what you want. However, we might be able to provide you with a sample of something similar. If you need a small quantity of a wire and cable built to your specification for testing purposes, we can supply it.
