Cable Ties Application Guide 5: Application Environments: Flammability and Fire Effects

NEMA BI 50047-2021(R2025) (Previously Cable Ties Application Guide 5-2022) | Status: Active | ID: 2926928

Among the physical properties of nonmetallic materials used in modern wiring systems and wiring components, flammability characteristics are extremely important. The flammability of nonmetallic materials, including those used to mold cable ties and their associated fixing devices or coat metallic cable ties, have been tested, measured, and compared to determine safe levels of use. There is a growing consideration in some applications for a better understanding of other fire related effects involving nonmetallic materials.
