What is 60227 IEC 56 cable?
60227 IEC 56: heat-resistant light PVC sheathed flexible cord, 2 or 3 cores, 300/300 V, 90 C. Rating: 300/300 V; 2 or 3 cores, class 5, 0.5 and 0.75 mm2; PVC/E insulation, PVC/ST10 sheath; dimensions as 60227 IEC 52; 90 C (IEC 60227-5 cl. 7, Table 9). Standard: IEC 60227-5 (clause 7).
IEC 60227-5 (standard): 300/300 V; 2 or 3 class 5 conductors of 0.5 or 0.75 mm2; PVC/E insulation (the heat-resistant compound of IEC 60227-1 5.2.1), PVC/ST10 sheath (5.5.1); Table 9 gives the dimensions of 60227 IEC 52 (Table 5): mean overall diameter 4.6 to 5.9 mm (2 x 0.5) up to 5.2 to 6.7 mm (3 x 0.75); 90 C. No maker name was looked for. Core colours (IEC 60227-1:2007 4.1.2, p. 9): one and two cores no preferred scheme; three cores green-and-yellow, blue, brown or brown, black, grey; four cores green-and-yellow, brown, black, grey or blue, brown, black, grey; five cores green-and-yellow, blue, brown, black, grey or blue, brown, black, grey, black; above five cores by number (4.1.1, 4.2). Drawn with the green-and-yellow set when the size says so (3G1.5), otherwise the set without it; two cores are drawn brown and blue (the HD 308 pair, as the standard prefers none); above five cores black numbered cores, the green-and-yellow core last. Code designation (IEC 60227-1:2007 Annex A, p. 20): the first numeral is the basic class (0 non-sheathed for fixed wiring, 1 sheathed for fixed wiring, 4 non-sheathed light duty flexible, 5 sheathed normal duty flexible, 7 sheathed special duty flexible), the second the type within the class, so the number is read whole. The old spelling drops the 60 ('227 IEC 53' = '60227 IEC 53', IEC renumbering); Helukabel's table prints 227 / 245, EN-JV and Top Cable 60227.

IEC 60227 / IEC 60245 type numbers: how to read the cable type names
Fire behaviour (EU CPR)
PVC sheath (60227 IEC 56).
Typically targeted, as declared by makers for this kind of construction in the examples this site checked (not the class of this cable):
EcaN1XV-R, Ahlsell (seller)Cca-s3,d1,a3FG16OR16, Nexans (La Triveneta Cavi)EcaU1000 R2V, Nexans (La Triveneta Cavi)EcaN2XSY, Waskönig+Walter (10 kV datasheet)
Listed as sources, alphabetically by maker. No maker pays to appear here.
A CPR class is declared by the maker in its Declaration of Performance and printed on the sheath (EN 50575 cl 7). This decoder does not assign one. What the CPR classes mean →
