NF F16-101 fire test to cable for Railway Rolling Stock - Scope：
The purpose of this standard is to establish rules relating to the choice of materials according to their fire behavoiur with regard to reaction to fire, opacity of smoke and toxicity of gases emitted.
It establishes classification objectives and specifies the minimum classifications to be complied with according to the type of material concerned.
