Note on list vs effective transaction price. List prices vary 50–70% across BIS-certified manufacturers; effective transaction prices vary <10%, governed by copper economics. Typical industry discount range: 25–55% from list. List price is the publicly verifiable benchmark — transaction price requires a verified delivered quote. The Cu-floor column is the copper-cost-anchored economic floor and is identical for every brand at a given size.

About this standard
What is HFFR cable?
HFFR (halogen-free flame retardant) cables are manufactured to IS 17048:2018, which is a separate and more stringent standard than IS 694:2010. HFFR cables limit HCl emission to below 0.5% and produce minimal toxic smoke. IS 17048:2018 requires a separate BIS licence from IS 694:2010 — a manufacturer licensed under IS 694:2010 only cannot supply compliant HFFR cable. Verify both licences independently at bis.gov.in.
About HFFR Cable (IS 17048:2018)
What is HFFR cable?
HFFR stands for halogen-free flame retardant. It is manufactured to IS 17048:2018 and limits HCl emission to below 0.5%. It is mandatory under NBC 2016 for hospitals, airports, metro stations, and data centres.
What is IS 17048:2018?
IS 17048:2018 is the Bureau of Indian Standards specification for halogen-free flame retardant cables. It requires HCl emission below 0.5%, which is significantly stricter than IS 694:2010 FR-LSH (HCl < 15%). A separate BIS licence is required.
Can I use FR-LSH instead of HFFR in a hospital?
No. FR-LSH (IS 694:2010, HCl < 15%) does not comply with NBC 2016 requirements for hospitals, airports, or metro. These applications require HFFR to IS 17048:2018 (HCl < 0.5%). Using FR-LSH where HFFR is specified transfers fire safety liability to the specifying consultant.
What is the price of HFFR cable in India 2026?
HFFR IS 17048:2018 cable carries a 20–35% premium over equivalent FR IS 694:2010 cable due to the specialist halogen-free compound. Verify current prices from BIS-certified manufacturers with valid IS 17048:2018 licences.
