Preface<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This is the fourth edition of CSA C22.2 No. 208, Fire alarm and signal cable. It supersedes the previous editions published in 2014, 2003, and 1986. It is one in a series of Standards issued under Part II of the Canadian Electrical Code.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The main changes to this edition are the following:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

a) inclusion of new requirements for Type FAS cables rated for direct burial\/wet locations;<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

b) addition of equivalent metric sizes of conductors;<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

c) addition of optional markings and applicable requirements for sunlight resistant, direct burial, and halogen-free characteristics; and<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

d) addition of missing 150 \u00b0C thermoplastic and 105 \u00b0C thermoset columns in Tables 4 and 5.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This Standard has been developed in compliance with Standards Council of Canada requirements for National Standards of Canada. It has been published as a National Standard of Canada by CSA Group.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Scope<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1.1<\/p>\n

This Standard applies to single- and multiple-conductor fire alarm and signal cables with a maximum nominal voltage rating of 300 V and a minimum temperature rating of 60 \u00b0C for use in buildings and other structures in dry, damp, or wet locations in accordance with the Canadian Electrical Code, Part I.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1.2<\/p>\n

Because other CSA Group Standards specify requirements for certain constructions suitable for use as fire alarm and signal cable, this Standard does not cover all such constructions.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1.3<\/p>\n

The designations for constructions covered by this Standard use the letters FAS followed, for constructions rated above 60 \u00b0C, by the temperature rating. The type designations are as follows:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

a) FAS;<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

b) FAS 90;<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

c) FAS 105;<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

d) FAS 150; and<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

e) FAS 200.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1.4<\/p>\n

In this Standard, shall is used to express a requirement, i.e., a provision that the user is obliged to satisfy in order to comply with the standard; should is used to express a recommendation or that which is advised but not required; and may is used to express an option or that which is permissible within the limits of the standard.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Notes accompanying clauses do not include requirements or alternative requirements; the purpose of a note accompanying a clause is to separate from the text explanatory or informative material.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Notes to tables and figures are considered part of the table or figure and may be written as requirements.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Annexes are designated normative (mandatory) or informative (non-mandatory) to define their application.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
