Product Overview

Halogen Free Wire H07Z1-K is a single-core Class 5 flexible copper conductor LSOH building wire with HFFR (Halogen Free Flame Retardant) thermoplastic insulation manufactured to BS EN 50525-3-31 — the current-generation European harmonised standard for halogen-free flexible cables, superseding the older HD 22.9 S2 family. The "Z1" in the designation specifically identifies this as the thermoplastic LSOH variant under the EN 50525 system, as opposed to the "Z" cross-link polyolefin type under HD 22.9. HFFR insulation type TI 7 per EN 50363-7 provides the zero-halogen, low-smoke fire safety profile with a key installation advantage over cross-link LSOH: 5×D bending radius — significantly tighter than the 8×D required by H07Z-K cross-link polyolefin, making H07Z1-K more installer-friendly for conduit and trunking runs. CPR classification B2ca-s1,d1,a1 under the EU Construction Products Regulation provides a standardised, mandatory Euroclass fire rating — the first LSOH building wire in our range with an explicit CPR Declaration of Performance.

The trade-off for the improved flexibility is a 70°C maximum conductor temperature — 20°C below the 90°C cross-link LSOH wires — reflecting the inherent limitation of thermoplastic compounds which soften at elevated temperatures, versus cross-link thermoset materials which maintain mechanical integrity up to their decomposition point. The short-circuit temperature of 160°C matches PVC wire, not the 250°C of cross-link LSOH. For applications where the ambient temperature does not exceed 70°C (the vast majority of indoor building wiring in temperate climates), H07Z1-K provides equivalent LSOH fire safety with superior bending performance at a lower material cost — the economic sweet spot in the LSOH wire family. Optional enhanced jacket compounds are available for UV exposure, hydrocarbon/oil resistance, and anti-rodent/termite protection — these are specified at order stage and not part of the standard product.

Sixteen sizes from 1.5mm² to 240mm² include a unique feature among our product range: current carrying capacity data for three installation methods (thermo wall, pipe, and wall) at both 2-core and 3-core configurations — essential for European circuit design per HD 60364-5-52 where the installation method determines the derating factor. The metal weight and cable weight columns are separately reported, enabling copper content calculation for scrap value or material cost quoting. The ambient temperature range of -35°C to +35°C is appropriate for the European climate zone — narrower than the -40°C rating of cross-link LSOH but sufficient for all indoor and most outdoor European installations.

Current capacity data — installation method matters: H07Z1-K's ampacity table illustrates why European circuit designers consult HD 60364-5-52 rather than using a single current rating. The same 1.5mm² wire carries 17.5A (2-core, wall installation) or 13.5A (3-core, thermo wall) — a 30% difference driven entirely by how the cable is installed. Thermo wall (in thermal insulation) and pipe (in conduit) methods are more restrictive because heat cannot dissipate. Wall (clipped direct or in masonry) provides the best cooling and highest ampacity. The 185mm² and 240mm² sizes lack ampacity data (—) on the reference page — these are typically used as single-core feeders where installation-specific calculations are required per the project's electrical design.

Typical Applications

H07Z1-K is the thermoplastic LSOH workhorse — specified for European buildings with high people or asset density where CPR compliance and installation flexibility matter more than extreme temperature tolerance:

🏛️

CPR-Controlled Buildings

B2ca-s1,d1,a1 classification enables use in EU buildings requiring declared fire performance — mandatory for public buildings under CPR since 2017.

🏥

Hospitals & Care Facilities

Low smoke (s1) and no flaming droplets (d1) — critical for healthcare facilities where patient evacuation is prolonged and smoke inhalation is the primary risk.

🏢

High-Density Residential

Zero halogen acid gas (low acidity a1) — protects building structure and electronics in apartment blocks where PVC smoke through riser shafts would cause widespread damage.

Switchgear & Control Cabinets

5×D bending radius enables easier routing through crowded switchgear compartments than 8×D cross-link LSOH — the installation advantage of thermoplastic.

🇪🇺

EU Public Works Tenders

CPR DoP (Declaration of Performance) is mandatory for all EU public building tenders — H07Z1-K carries the full EN 50575 CPR certification package.

📊

Precision Circuit Design

Three-method ampacity data (thermo wall/pipe/wall, 2-3 core) enables precise circuit design per HD 60364-5-52 — no need to estimate derating factors.
