Reference year 2023
Name
BiTflame S(St), BiTflame S, BiTflame AS - Fireproof power and signal cables
Technical purpose of product or process BiTflame®S(St) FE180/E90 is halogen free fire resistant cable (copper based, 300/500V) designed for installations in places where it is necessary to ensure operation of devices under fire conditions. They are recommended for emergency lighting installations, smoke extraction systems, alarm systems, signaling systems, sound warning and control systems, fire alarm signaling and automation and other safety ensuring circuits. Static screen (St) protects against interferences of external magnetic fields. Under fire conditions the ables ensure correct functioning of installation for at least 90 minutes (PH90) and insulation resistance to fire exposure for 180 minutes (FE180). During burning they do not emit corrosive gases or dense smoke. Cables are suitable for fixed installations inside buildings.

During burning they do not emit corrosive gases or dense smoke. Cables are suitable for fixed installations inside buildings. BiTflame®AS(St) FE 180/E90 is halogen free fire resistant telecommunication cable designed for emergency lighting installations, alarm-, signaling-, and teletransmission systems, in sound alarm systems as well as in fire warning systems, fire automation and other safety ensuring installations. Static screen (St) protects against interferences of external magnetic fields. Under fire conditions the cables ensure proper operation of installations for at least 90 minutes (PH90) and insulation resistance to fire exposure for 180 minutes (FE180). During burning cables do not emit corrosive gases or dense smoke. Cables are suitable for fixed installations inside buildings. The cables tested in accordance with the requirements of DIN 4102 p. 12 and can be installed in E90 cable support systems as their elements (installation on clamps located every 30cm and 60cm).
General comment on data set The data selected for LCA originate from ITB LCI questionnaires completed by BITNER. No specific data collected is older than five years and no generic datasets used are older than ten years. The representativeness, completeness, reliability, and consistency are judged as good. The database, Ecoinvent 3.9 is utilized for the background system (copper, plastics; EPR, EVA, PE, Mica, other). As a result, both upstream and downstream activities are based on average supply mixes for the specific region depending on the given dataset and KOBiZE data is used (Polish electricity mix and combustion factors for fuels). Specific (LCI) data quality analysis was a part of the input data verification. The time related quality of the data used is valid (5 years). The allocation rules used for this EPD are based on general ITB’s document PCR A. In the modules A1 A3, material losses in the assembly of the products in the factory are defined on the averaged specific values for the site. I nput and output data from the production is inventoried and allocated to the cable production on the mass basis The declaration covers a wide range of products (averaged). Their production resources and processing stages are basically similar, so it is possible to average the production by product volume. All data obtained from the survey at the solar glass supplier and module manufacturer were taken into consideration, all available data from production have been considered, i.e. all raw materials/elements used as per assembly process, utilized thermal energy, and electric power consumption. This material and energy flows contributing less than 1 % of mass or energy have been considered. It can be assumed that the total sum of neglected processes does not exceed 5 % of energy usage and mass per module A, B, C or D. Machines and facilities required during production are neglected. The production of etiquettes, tape and glue was also not considered
