White Paper – Response to Beyond UL 2196: A Comparative Study of UL Listed 2-Hour Fire-Rated Cables’ Properties
White Paper – Response to Beyond UL 2196: A Comparative Study of UL Listed 2-Hour Fire-Rated Cables’ Properties
This paper is in response to a white paper and video published by nVent Thermal in January 2021 that makes misleading claims about ceramifying insulation cables. The nVent Thermal claims rely on company-funded test by an anonymous laboratory conducted without regulatory oversight. The process did not follow accepted industry standards, and many methods do not accurately replicate real-life scenarios.
