For each M, I, C, or E group, the classification of a given environment is

determined by the most demanding parameter within the M, I, C or E group

The MICE classification shall be used for the selection of:

components and/or protection afforded to them

installation techniques to be applied to the channel in order to provide protection

The selection of components

based on the specific demands of each of the parameters within the M, I, C, or E group

possibly less demanding than the overall classification of the group

Separation (A) = S x P

The segregation requirements are relaxed in proximity to termination points that provide connection toterminal equipment (i.e. the telecommunications outlets of EN 50173-2 or their equivalent within application-specific cabling designs). The relaxation is to allow information technology cabling and mains power cablingto be installed in close proximity in small cross-sectional area cable management systems such as trunkingand pillars.Provided that the applicable power cabling factor (P) is no greater than 1, the value of A = 0 mm for a distanceof up to 15 m from the termination point.NOTE 1 National regulations may require a barrier or greater separation.NOTE 2 Certain combinations of information technology cabling and mains power cabling products may allow the relaxationdistance to be increased in accordance with the instructions provided by their suppliers. Such implementations lie outside the scopeof this standard and may restrict the flexibility of the pathways to be used for other products.
