Overview
SIST EN 6049-009:2025 defines the requirements for flexible, self-wrapping fire protection sleeves made from meta-aramid fibres, designed for the aerospace sector. These sleeves provide critical 360° fire resistance for electrical cables and cable bundles in demanding aerospace environments. Key advantages include post-installation flexibility, robust fire protection, and an operating temperature range from -55 °C to 260 °C. This standard ensures that the protected electrical harnesses maintain their integrity and electrical performance when exposed to fire, supporting safety and reliability in complex aircraft systems.
Key Topics
Scope of Coverage:
- Specifies post-installation, flexible, self-wrapping fire protection sleeves.
- Targeted at aerospace applications for electrical cable protection.
Fire Resistance:
- The sleeve provides at least five minutes of fire protection for internal electrical harnesses.
- Ensures no degradation in the electrical properties of the cables during fire exposure.
Construction and Identification:
- Multi-layer sleeve made from meta-aramid fibres and other thermal protective materials.
- Identifiable by a red tracer line indicating its fire protection capability.
- Designed for both continuous and branched cable harnesses.
Performance Characteristics:
- Operates reliably between -55 °C and 260 °C.
- Maintains a uniform circular profile and resists mould, abrasion, and fluids.
- No corrosive effects on internal wires and no significant susceptibility to microorganisms.
Testing and Compliance:
- Test methods reference established EN and ISO procedures for:
- Fire resistance
- Flammability
- Toxicity and smoke density
- Mechanical strength, abrasion, and flexibility
- Mould and fluid exposure resistance
- Test methods reference established EN and ISO procedures for:
Applications
Aerospace Wiring Harnesses:
- Offers vital fire protection for aircraft electrical systems, especially in areas requiring post-installation flexibility or retrofit solutions.
Cable Bundles and System Upgrades:
- Facilitates safe upgrades or modifications to cable bundles after initial installation, without requiring full system disassembly.
Enhanced Safety in Fire Zones:
- Used in designated aircraft fire zones to prevent critical electrical failures during fire events.
Defence and Specialized Vehicles:
- Applicable in military or high-performance vehicles where electrical fire protection is paramount.
Other Transportation:
- Relevant for high-performance transportation sectors needing cable fire protection, such as rail, marine, or automotive racing.
