Zion Communication’s Commitment to CPR Compliance and Quality Assurance

Author: Michael     Publish Time: 23-10-2025      Origin: Site

Introduction: Ensure Safety in Construction with Certified Performance

In modern construction, electrical and communication cables are critical to both safety and functionality. Article 3 of the EU Construction Products Regulation (CPR) — EN 50575:2014+A1:2016 — mandates that cables installed in European buildings must adhere to strictly regulated fire reaction performance characteristics. As a professional fire cable manufacturer, Zion Communication has integrated CPR compliance as a core pillar of our production and quality assurance strategies—from design to delivery—ensuring every cable meets the highest safety standards.

To obtain certification and ensure compliance, Zion Communication strictly follows European fire performance testing standards, including:

  • EN 50399: Measurement of heat release and smoke production during flame spread.

  • EN 61034: Measurement of smoke density (light transmittance).

  • EN 60754: Determination of acidity and halogen gas evolution.

Testing is conducted by independent Notified Bodies (NB) or Notified Laboratories (NL) to establish Euroclass ratings—such as B2ca-s1,d0,a1 or Cca-s1b,d1,a1. Following successful laboratory testing, Zion issues a Declaration of Performance (DoP) and applies the CE label, providing full transparency to installers, distributors, and regulatory authorities.

CPR Testing and Certification Process

Quality Control at Source: Factory Production Control (FPC)

To ensure consistent compliance, Zion has established a robust Factory Production Control (FPC) system aligned with EN 50575 Annex ZA.

Key components include:

  • Raw Material Traceability: Every batch of LSZH compound, copper, and insulation is logged and verified against strict requirements before extrusion begins.

  • In-Process Assessment: Real-time monitoring of conductor resistance, insulation thickness, and concentricity ensures immediate adherence to quality standards.

  • Internal Fire Testing: We utilize in-house burn chambers to simulate official testing conditions, confirming product reliability before third-party validation.

  • End-of-Line Testing: We perform 100% continuity, dielectric, and marking inspections on finished cables.

Our FPC is not a one-time setup; it is a continuous system of defined procedures that are regularly monitored and upgraded. This ensures that mass-produced Zion cables deliver the same high performance as the type-tested samples.

External Audits and Continuous Monitoring

Producing a CPR-compliant product requires rigorous oversight. Zion commissions regular external audits by Notified Bodies to verify ongoing compliance (AVCP System 1+).

These audits include:

  • Random sampling of production batches for re-testing.

  • Comprehensive review of manufacturing and quality documentation.

  • Verification of calibration, traceability, and labeling systems.

This dual system ensures that any batch failing to meet specific Safety Performance Levels is identified and rejected internally before it ever leaves the factory. This rigorous process guarantees unwavering confidence for our European distributors and project partners.

Technological Advances and Future Goals

Zion invests heavily in R&D to remain at the forefront of European standards. Our current innovation focus includes:

  • Advanced Materials: Developing LSZH compounds that offer higher temperature tolerance and optimized light transmittance (low smoke density).

  • Hybrid Shielding: Enhancing electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) to support high-speed data transmission with minimal latency.

  • Automated Quality Integration: Implementing systems that link testing center data directly to production control for real-time adjustments.

  • Digital Traceability: Providing QR-coded labeling on cables for instant access to DoP documents and technical specs.

Through these initiatives, Zion aims not only to comply with regulations but to set new benchmarks for durability, reliability, and environmental sustainability.

Conclusion: CPR Compliance as a Culture of Quality

For Zion Communication, CPR compliance is more than just a certificate—it is a culture of quality. From material selection to final delivery, every aspect of our manufacturing process is optimized to ensure that cables installed in European buildings perform reliably, even under the most demanding conditions.

By actively engaging third parties, maintaining comprehensive FPC systems, and pursuing continual innovation, Zion remains a trusted partner in fire cable standardization, contributing to a safer tomorrow for Europe.
