Clearing Misconceptions About Low-Smoke, Halogen-Free Cables

In this UL white paper, we’ll discuss the benefits of using LSHF-rated cables in key construction applications, as well as the type of testing that is required to verify that a cable is truly low-smoke and halogen-free.

We’ll also discuss the specifics of UL’s Material Recognition Program, and cable surface mark program for LSHF cables and materials, and the benefits of certification in accordance with the requirements of UL 2885, “Outline of Investigation for Acid Gas, Acidity and Conductivity of Combusted Materials and Assessment of Halogens.”
