| No. | Test item / Standard | Class C limit | Result / Note |
| 1 | Bunched flame propagation — GB/T 18380.3 / IEC 60332-3-24, Category C | Char height ≤ 2.5 m above burner; 20 min; self-extinguishing | Pass (required) |
| 2 | Single flame — GB/T 18380.1 / IEC 60332-1-2 | Self-extinguishing, no re-ignition | Pass (required) |

| 4 | Flame duration / after-flame time | After-flame ≤ 1 h (60 min) for C category per GB/T 18380 | Pass (required) |
| 5 | pH value of gas (GB/T 17650.2 / IEC 60754-2) * | Not a mandatory ZR(C) certified limit; PVC ≠ halogen-free | Reference only (see Notes) |
| 6 | Conductivity of aq. extract (GB/T 17650.2) * | ≤ 10 µS/mm (WDZ certified); not mandated for plain ZR | Reference only (see Notes) |

| 10 | Flame retardant filler / binder (ZR grade) | FR PP/PE filler + FR tape present | Pass (required) |
| 4. Important Notes | |||
| 1. ZR is a legacy designation; under current GB/T 19666-2019 it defaults to Class C. Modern equivalent: ZC. Thus ZR-YJV ≈ ZC-YJV. | |||
| 2. Items marked * (pH, conductivity, halogen acid gas, smoke density) are REFERENCE / NON-CERTIFIED for plain ZR (Class C) because the PVC sheath contains chlorine. They are NOT mandatory acceptance limits for this product. | |||
| 3. For genuine halogen-free + low-smoke, use WDZ-YJY 2x10 (polyolefin sheath). For fire-survival (circuit integrity during fire), use NH-ZR-YJV 2x10 (with mica tape, 830 °C / 90 min). | |||
| 4. Selection logic: Flame retardant only → ZR-YJV (this product, lowest cost); Flame retardant + halogen-free low-smoke → WDZ-YJY; Flame retardant + fire-resistant → NH-ZR-YJV. | |||

| Two-core layered construction description, from conductor to outer sheath · per GB/T 12706.1 & IEC 60502-1 · CU / XLPE / PVC · 0.6/1 kV | |||
| 1. Scope of This Sheet | |||
| This sheet describes the physical build of ZR-YJV 2×10, a flame-retardant, two-core low-voltage cable rated 0.6/1 kV AC. It follows GB/T 12706.1 / IEC 60502-1 for manufacture and testing, GB/T 3956 / IEC 60228 for the core, and GB/T 19666 for the ZR (default ZC) class. The finished product is roughly 15.2 mm in diameter, weighs about 328 kg/km and is supplied on 100 m coils or drums. | |||
| Both cores are identical live conductors; the cable is intended for fixed wiring rather than trailing service. | |||
| 2. Conductor Sub-Assembly (Per Core) | |||
| Each of the two cores is built from seven annealed copper wires of 1.35 mm (7/1.35) stranded to Class 2, giving 10 mm² per core and a core diameter of ≈ 4.05 mm. The 20 °C DC resistance is limited to 1.83 Ω/km per core. Strancing keeps the core flexible enough for conduit pulling despite the compact size. | |||
| 3. Insulation Sub-Assembly (Per Core) | |||
| A 0.7 mm layer of XLPE is extruded over each core, bringing the diameter over insulation to ≈ 5.45 mm. The cross-linked material allows continuous service at 90 °C and a five-second fault temperature of 250 °C, with volume resistivity ≥ 1×10¹² Ω·cm. Every production length must hold 3.5 kV AC for five minutes without breakdown. | |||
| 4. Core Assembly & Outer Sheath | |||
| The two insulated cores are laid up together with a non-hygroscopic filler (and an optional binder tape) to form a round assembly of ≈ 10.9 mm. A 1.8 mm flame-retardant PVC (ST2) jacket is then extruded over the bundle, closing the cable at ≈ 15.2 mm. The jacket provides the ZC fire rating, verified by GB/T 18380.12 (single burn) and GB/T 18380.35 (class C, char ≤ 2.5 m); PVC is halogen-bearing, so WDZ-YJY remains the zero-halogen option. | |||
| 5. Practical Handling Notes | |||
| • Multi-core bend limit: ≥ 15 × OD. • Run the DC 4U0 = 2.4 kV / 15 min site test before commissioning. • Service ambient −20 to +45 °C; warm coils below 0 °C. • Two-core ampacity is per cable — derate for grouping and tray fill. • Confirm core Ø from the certificate before crimping lugs. |
8. Verification Regime. Routine: DC resistance, 3.5 kV/5 min, dimensional audit (ins. ≥ 0.7 mm, sheath ≥ 1.8 mm). Sample: XLPE hot-set (200 ± 3 °C / 15 min / 0.2 MPa). Type: flame + bending. Site: DC 4U0 = 2.4 kV / 15 min (Q/GDW 13244.1-2018 practice).
9. Handling Precautions. Bend ≥ 15 × OD; unreel without kinking; protect from UV and sharp edges; run the site DC test before energising; both cores are live — do not parallel-load one side only; size lugs to the ≈ 4.05 mm core.

10. Typical Applications. Single-phase lighting and power feeders, L+N circuits, control and instrumentation supplies, small pump and fan circuits, switchboard droppers at 0.6/1 kV — conduits, trays, trunking, trenches; indoor or sheltered outdoor.

11. Ordering Data. ZR-YJV 0.6/1 kV 2×10, length, drum/coil type, marking. Standard 100 m coils/drums; confirm all figures against the factory certificate.
