21、9, 2017 CAN/ULC-S139 ANSI/UL 2196 3UL COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL NOT AUTHORIZED FOR FURTHER REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL Preface This is the common UL and ULC Standard for Fire Test for Circuit Integrity of Fire-Resistive Power, Instrumentation, Control and Data Cables. It is th

22、e Third edition of CAN/ULC-S139, and the Second edition of ANSI/UL 2196. This common Standard was prepared by Underwriters Laboratories Inc., ULC Standards, and the Joint UL/ ULC Task Group on Integrity of Cables. The efforts and support of the Joint Task Group are gratefully acknowledged. This Stan

23、dard was formally approved by the ULC Standards Committee on Fire Tests and UL Standard Technical Panel on Fire Resistive Cables. Only metric SI units of measurement are used in this Standard. If a value for measurement is followed by a value in other units in parentheses, the second value may be ap

24、proximate. The rst stated value is the requirement. In Canada, there are two official languages, English and French. All safety warnings must be in French and English. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some Canadian authorities may require additional markings and/or installation instruction

25、s to be in both official languages. This standard has been approved as a National Standard of Canada by the Standards Council of Canada. This standard has been approved by the American National Standards Institute as an American National Standard. Annexes A, B and C are identied as normative, forms

26、mandatory parts of this Standard. Annex D is identied as informative, is for informational purposes only. Note: Although the intended primary application of this standard is stated in its scope, it is important to note that it remains the responsibility of the users of the standard to judge its suit

27、ability for their particular purpose. Level of Harmonization This Standard is published as an identical standard between UL and ULC Standards. An identical standard is a standard that is the same in technical content except for conicts in Codes and Governmental Regulations. Presentation shall be wor

28、d for word except for editorial changes. Interpretations The interpretation by the standards development organization of an identical or equivalent standard shall be based on the literal text to determine compliance with the standard in accordance with the procedural rules of the standards developme

29、nt organization. If more than one interpretation of the literal text has been identied, a revision shall be proposed as soon as possible to each of the standards development organizations to more accurately reect the intent. UL Effective Date A UL effective date is established by Underwriters Labora

30、tories Inc. and is not part of the ANSI approved standard. AUGUST 29, 2017 CAN/ULC-S139 ANSI/UL 2196 4UL COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL NOT AUTHORIZED FOR FURTHER REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL 1 Scope 1.1 The intent of this Standard is to evaluate the integrity of power, control, ins

31、trumentation, and data cables for their ability to maintain circuit integrity when subjected to standard re test exposure and associated hose stream test. 1.2 The power, control, instrumentation, and data cables covered by this Standard are intended to comply with the following requirements : In Can

32、ada: Canadian Electrical Code and the National Building Code of Canada; In the United States: National Electrical Code, and/or the National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code, and/or the Standard for Fixed Guideway Transit and Passenger Rail Systems, and/or the Standard for Road Tunnels, Bridges, and Oth

33、er Limited Access Highways. 1.3 Power, control, and instrumentation cables are subjected to the re exposure in accordance with CAN/ULC-S101, Standard Methods of Fire Endurance Tests of Building Construction and Materials, and ANSI/UL 263, Standard for Fire Tests of Building Construction and Material

34、s. During the re test, cables are continuously energized at their maximum rated voltage or maximum utilization voltage (power cables); or at their maximum utilization voltage (control and instrumentation cables) and evaluated for circuit integrity. Insulation resistance measurements are also taken t

35、o quantify leakage current. Following the re test, the assembly shall be subjected to a hose stream test. 1.4 Data cables are subjected to the re exposure in accordance with CAN/ULC-S101, Standard Methods of Fire Endurance Tests of Building Construction and Materials, and ANSI/UL 263, Standard for F

36、ire Tests of Building Construction and Materials. During the re tests, the data cables are evaluated for their ability to maintain error free data transfer and retrieval at the specied protocol and data rates. Following the re test, the assembly shall be subjected to a hose stream test. 1.5 The re e

37、xposure and hose stream tests are not intended to be representative of all re conditions and impact conditions, respectively. It is likely that conditions will vary with changes in the amount, nature, distribution of re loading, ventilation, compartment size and conguration, and heat conducting and

38、dissipating characteristics of the compartment in which the cables are installed. These requirements provide a relative measure of re performance of comparable assemblies under these specied re exposure conditions. It is possible that any variation from the construction or operating condition tested

39、, such as size, method of assembly and materials, will substantially change the performance characteristics of the cables. 1.6 The standardized re and hose stream exposures for comparing the performance of cables represents one factor in determining the acceptability of cables for use in specic appl

40、ications. 1.7 The construction and operation of the furnace and the general test conditions are intended to be in accordance with the requirements in CAN/ULC S101, Standard Methods of Fire Endurance Tests of Building Construction and Materials, and ANSI/UL 263, Standard for Fire Tests of Building Co

Where val

42、ues of measurement are specied in both SI and English units, either unit is used. In cases of dispute, the metric unit shall be used. 3 REFERENCE PUBLICATIONS 3.1 See Annex A for a list of publications referenced in this standard. Any undated reference to a code or standard appearing in the requirem

43、ents of this standard shall be interpreted as referring to the latest edition of that code or standard. When the latest edition of a standard is not applicable, the appropriate edition is indicated accordingly in Annex A. 4 GLOSSARY For the purpose of this Standard, the following denitions apply. 4.
