Which cables are actually covered by the CPD, and for which applications? Which cables require certification?
All cables that are permanently incorporated (fixed installation) into a building – whether residential, or commercial, or industrial – and into other civil works are covered by the CPD. This includes power cables of any rated voltage, as well as communication cables with metal and glass (optical fibre) conductors. For cables installed in works where National Regulations prescribe a specific Classification, conformity to Standards must be certified.
