What is AMCMK cable?
AMCMK: aluminium power cable, PVC insulation, concentric copper conductor, PVC sheath, 0,6/1 kV. Rating: 0,6/1 (1,2) kV, 70 C conductor, 160 C short circuit. Standard: HD 603 S1:1994/A2:2003 section 3-F, Table 3 (p. 3-F-11): AMCMK, type 3F-1 with concentric conductor (contents p. 0-3), concentric conductor of one layer of copper wires with a copper contact tape (No. 5.1, p. 3-F-4), outer sheath DMV 9 PVC (No. 6.1); makers: SFS 4880, HD 603-3F, IEC 60502-1 (Draka); SFS 4880, SEK TS 424 14 18-1, HD 603 3 F & L (Reka).
HD 603 S1/A2 3-F Table 3 (p. 3-F-11) lists AMCMK 3x16 Al + 10 Cu to 3x300 Al + 88 Cu, and with a reduced fourth core 3x50 Al + 25 Al + 16 Cu to 3x300 Al + 150 Al + 88 Cu, outer sheath 1,8 to 3,0 mm. The 70 C / 160 C of the rating are from the maker sheets. Draka (Prysmian) AMCMK sheet, 29.10.2013: 16 mm2 solid, 25 mm2 few-wire, 35-300 mm2 aluminium conductor, insulated cores laid up, 'Konsentrinen johdin: Kuparilankakerros ja kuparivastakierre', 3 cores brown, black, grey; 4 cores blue, brown, black, grey; names like 'AMCMK 4x16/10 1 kV', 'AMCMK 3x240/72 AN 1 kV'. Reka C0063 'AMCMK / AKKJ Alumiinivoimakaapeli 0,6/1 (1,2) kV', PVC insulation. fi.wikipedia gives AMCMK as its worked example (A, M, C, M, K). Letters from fi.wikipedia 'Kaapeleiden merkintätavat' (secondary; it cites Sähköinfo's handbook and SFS 600): A = aluminium as the first letter, C = concentric copper neutral or protective conductor, E = fine-wire conductor (MKEM), K = cable, or stranded conductor (MKEM), M = plastic (muovi), O = control cable (MMO), S = indoor cable (MHS), X = cross-linked polyethylene; an S after the size is a green-yellow core, N none.

Fire behaviour (EU CPR)
PVC sheath (M).
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 →
