British Standard Cables (BS cable) refers to cable products that comply with relevant British standards and specifications. The following is a detailed introduction to it:

Standard setting and certification bodies

The British Standards Institute (BSI): is the national standardization body of the United Kingdom. It was established in 1901 and is responsible for formulating and maintaining various standards in the United Kingdom, including cable standards. The standards developed by BSI are highly recognized in the UK and around the world.

Common British Standard Cable Types and Standards

BS 5467: thermosetting insulated armoured cables, i.e. thermosetting insulated armoured cables, rated at 600/1000V and 1900/3300V, for fixed installations, with good mechanical strength and electrical properties.

BS 7211: thermosetting insulated and thermoplastic sheathed cables, i.e. thermosetting insulated and thermoplastic sheathed cables, with voltage ratings up to 450/750V, for power and lighting, with low smoke and halogen-free properties, reducing smoke and corrosive gas emissions in the event of a fire.

BS 7629-1:300/500V fireproof, shielded, fixed installation cable, with low smoke, low corrosive gas emissions, suitable for places with high fire protection requirements.

BS 7835: thermosetting insulated armoured LSZH cables, thermosetting insulated armoured low smoke halogen free cables with a voltage range of 3.8/6 kV to 19/33kV for medium and high voltage power transmission.

BS 7846: Similar to BS 7835, but with a voltage rating of 600/1000V, it is also a thermosetting insulated armored low smoke halogen free cable for fixed installations, with fire and low smoke halogen free properties.

BS 7870: LV and MV polymeric insulated cables for low and medium voltage polymer insulated cables for distribution and power generation facilities.

BS 8436: LSZH multi-core 300/500V cables, low smoke halogen free multi-core cables for partitions.
