The devastating impact of fires

In its 2022 Global Claims Review, Allianz insurance listed fire as the largest single identified cause of corporate insurance losses with damages running into billions. And the human toll is huge: 4,000 fatalities and 134,000 injuries per year.

With new forms of energy use come new risks. From tablets to smartphones, our reliance on electrically powered digital devices is only growing. The rise of new energy usages in building, such as electric vehicles or rooftop solar panels, increases the burden on domestic wiring systems and the risks related to fire.

At Nexans, our priority is to provide our customers and partners with everything they need to design and build safe and sustainable electrification, at every step of their project lifecycle. That’s why we constantly innovate to ensure our cables are at the edge in terms of safety, reliability, electrical performance, and standards compliance.

In the event of a fire, two criteria are key for electrical cables to secure a quick and safe evacuation.

The Reaction to Fire, defined by the fire spread, the smoke opacity, the loss of flaming droplets, and the acidity of emissions. All those elements have a major impact on people’s ability to evacuate on time.
