Overview

HD 604 S1:1994/A1:1997 (adopted as SIST HD 604 S1:1998/A1:1998) is a CLC technical standard for 0,6/1 kV and 1,9/3,3 kV power cables with special fire performance intended for use in power stations. The document sets out the expectations for cable design, materials and performance where enhanced resistance to fire, limited ignitability and controlled burning behaviour are critical in electrical power plant environments.

Key topics

The standard focuses on technical areas essential to fire-resistant power cables without prescribing implementation details in this summary. Key topics include:

• Scope and application for low- and medium-voltage power cables used in power stations (0.6/1 kV and 1.9/3.3 kV).
• Fire performance characteristics such as ignitability and burning behaviour of cable materials (reflected in ICS 13.220.40).
• Construction elements relevant to fire performance: conductor, insulation, bedding and sheath materials.
• Testing and verification principles to confirm fire performance and suitability for power station use (test methods and acceptance criteria are defined in the full standard).
• Marking, documentation and identification requirements for traceability and correct specification.
• Quality and conformity considerations for manufacturers and testing laboratories.

Applications

This standard is intended to guide selection, procurement and use of cables in environments where fire safety and continuity of power are crucial:

• Main and auxiliary power distribution within power stations (thermal, hydro, nuclear and renewables).
• Cable routes and trays inside generation buildings, switchgear halls and control rooms where enhanced fire performance reduces risk of fire propagation.
• Situations demanding fire-resistant or fire-retardant cables to maintain safety and limit damage during incidents.

Who uses this standard

Typical users and stakeholders include:

• Electrical design engineers and specifiers working on power plant projects
• Cable manufacturers developing product ranges for power stations
• Procurement and asset managers responsible for supplier compliance
• Testing laboratories and conformity assessment bodies
• Health, safety and fire-protection professionals in energy facilities

Related information

• National adoption: SIST HD 604 S1:1998/A1:1998 (Slovenian Institute for Standardization)
• Identical to: HD 604 S1:1994/A1:1997
• Relevant ICS codes: 13.220.40 (Ignitability and burning behaviour), 29.060.20 (Cables)
