1. CPR EU 305/2011 Cca-s3,d0,a3: Highest Building Fire Safety Classification
GAALFLEX® VFD FG16OHH2R16 carries CPR EU 305/2011 Cca-s3,d0,a3 highest fire safety classification indicating (Cca) no contribution to fire spread, (s3) limited smoke development, (d0) no flaming droplets, and (a3) zero contribution to fire when externally exposed—the most restrictive building code requirement.
Building safety strategy: European CPR EU 305/2011 classification system ranks cables from Eca (least restrictive) through Cca (most restrictive). Cca-s3,d0,a3 represents highest fire safety: zero contribution to fire propagation, minimal smoke (limiting occupant evacuation impairment), no hazardous droplets (fire spread prevention), and external fire non-contribution (facade installations). Result: maximum building occupant safety, compliance with strictest building codes, professional liability protection.
2. HEPR Rubber Type G16 Insulation: Halogen-Free Safety Engineering
GAALFLEX® VFD FG16OHH2R16 utilizes proprietary HEPR (halogen-free ethylene propylene rubber) type G16 insulation providing exceptional electrical characteristics while eliminating toxic halogen compounds (HCl gas) released during building fires.
3. Low-Smoke PVC R16 Jacket: Zero Corrosive Gas Emissions
GAALFLEX® VFD FG16OHH2R16 features gray RAL 7035 low-smoke PVC R16 outer sheath specifically formulated to minimize PFTE gas generation and eliminate corrosive hydrogen chloride (HCl) emissions during fire exposure.
4. EN 50575:2014+A1:2016 Building Cable Standard: Comprehensive Compliance
GAALFLEX® VFD FG16OHH2R16 meets EN 50575:2014+A1:2016 comprehensive building cable standards including fire performance, smoke/gas emissions, mechanical properties, and electrical safety for building installation use.

GAALFLEX® VFD FG16OHH2R16 meets CEI 20-22 II and IEC 60332-3-24 Category C comprehensive fire testing per building standards, ensuring vertical flame propagation control and smoke/gas safety.
6. Building Installation Flexibility: 10×D Bending Radius & Conduit Routing
GAALFLEX® VFD FG16OHH2R16 provides 10×D minimum bending radius enabling building conduit installation, flexible cable routing through building ducts and junction boxes without kinking or insulation damage.
7. Comparative Analysis: CPR FG16OHH2R16 (Building Code) vs. Industrial VFD Cables
| Metric | FG16OHH2R16 Building Code | VFD 1100 Industrial Gray | VFD 1200 Premium | Winner |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FIRE SAFETY & BUILDING COMPLIANCE | ||||
| CPR fire rating | Cca-s3,d0,a3 (highest) | Not building-rated | Not building-rated | FG16OHH2R16 |
| Halogen-free | Yes (HEPR) | No (GAALTHERM®) | No (GAALTHERM®) | FG16OHH2R16 |
| Smoke/corrosive gas | Zero HCl emission | Standard PVC | Standard PUR | FG16OHH2R16 |
| INDUSTRIAL CHARACTERISTICS | ||||
| Short-circuit tolerance | +250°C | +250°C | +250°C | 1100/1200 |
| Temperature range | −15 to +90°C | −15 to +90°C | −50 to +90°C | 1200 |
| Insulation class | HEPR rubber | GAALTHERM® 530 | GAALTHERM® 590 | 1200 |
Choice strategy: FG16OHH2R16 (CPR Cca-s3,d0,a3 halogen-free) = mandatory for European building installations requiring CPR compliance and hazardous-gas elimination. Industrial VFD cables (1100/1200/1000 P) = industrial-only specification, not building-code-compliant. For any building installation (residential, commercial, industrial), choose FG16OHH2R16 for regulatory compliance and occupant safety.
