SAFETY
Working safer by working together
General Cable has one worldwide safety vision and goal – ZERO AND
BEYOND. We measure safety performance globally, share best practices
and implement sound health and safety management systems. Many of our
facilities worldwide are OHSAS 18001 (safety management system) certified.
All North American facilities have implemented an equivalent health and
safety management system. General Cable was a pioneer in obtaining the
OHSAS 18001 Certificate for Occupational Health and Safety Management
Systems in Europe and North Africa.
INNOVATION
Technologies that power and connect the world
General Cable provides power and communications products and solutions
to people around the world. With the help of distributors, original equipment
manufacturers (OEMs), retail and public utility partners, we offer our
customers product breadth and leadership coupled with geographic
reach, ensuring access to our high-quality cable solutions anywhere and
everywhere they need them.
SUSTAINABILITY
Responsible practices in daily operations
As a global leader in the wire and cable industry, General Cable recognizes
our role and responsibility in promoting sustainability. Our strongest business
value is continuous improvement in all areas of our company. Across our
many businesses, the quest to introduce new and better products through
continuous improvement in environmental designs reflects our commitment
to achieving industry-leading standards and responding proactively to global

Number One
IRIS Certification
General Cable’s transit wire and cable facilities are IRIS (International Railway Industry
Standard) Certified. UNIFE, the Association of the European Rail Industry, was created in
General Cable is always 1991 in anticipation of the creation of the European Union. In 2005, UNIFE established
IRIS with the goal of securing higher quality in the railway industry. This recognized industry
committed to exceeding our certification enables railway component suppliers to meet globally recognized levels of quality
for their railway components. General Cable was the first wire and cable manufacturer in
the Americas to achieve IRIS Certification*. Combined with IRIS Certification in our Manlleu
customers’ expectations for (Barcelona), Spain facility, General Cable meets the transit sector’s needs throughout the
Americas and the world. General Cable’s IRIS Certification ensures improved product quality

EN Introduction
General Cable’s EN 50264, 50306 and 50382 series of Polyrad® LSHF and GenFire® Rail cables
has been engineered, manufactured and qualified for railway rolling stock applications where
fixed or limited flexing in operation is encountered and space is at a premium. Uniquely qualified
to provide superior engineering and products, General Cable manufactures its EN Cables in two
locations — Willimantic, Connecticut, the only North American wire and cable facility that is IRIS
Certified and ISO 9001:2008 Compliant; and Manlleu (Barcelona), Spain, an IRIS Certified and
ISO 9001/14001 Compliant facility.
Through the successful commercialization of new technologies such as this and partnerships with
leading industry OEMs, we will continue delivering results and value by responding to an ever-
changing set of customer expectations and market conditions.

Smoke Density Flame Tests
Test Standard: IEC 61034-2 Fire Performance for Single Core Cable
This test procedure provides a protocol for measuring the smoke density of Test Standard: IEC 60332-1-2
cables burning under defined conditions. This test procedure describes the minimum requirements for flame-retardant
single core cables tested in a vertical position.
The test samples consist of straight 1 m in length. The test pieces are bound
together at the ends and at 300 mm from each end then clamped to the support. A cable is ignited with a propane burner (1 kW flame).
The test flame is generated by burning 1 liter of alcohol in a tray. The tray is Sample length: 600 mm long
positioned 100 mm ± 10 mm from the floor to permit circulation of air. The test Test duration:
sample is positioned horizontally and centered above the tray of alcohol at a Overall diameter of test piece:
distance between the underneath of the test samples and the bottom of the tray 0 ≤ 25 mm = 60 ± 2 seconds
of 150 mm ± 5 mm. 25 mm – 50 mm = 120 ± 2 seconds
50 mm – 75 mm = 240 ± 2 seconds
Light transmittance is measured throughout the test. The test is considered as ended
> 75 mm = 480 ± 2 seconds
when there is no decrease in light transmittance for a period of 6 minutes after the
fuel source has extinguished or when the test duration has reached 40 minutes. Performance Requirements:
