These requirements cover 60 – 250°C (140 – 482°F) single- and multiple-conductor power-limited circuit cables for use as fixed wiring within buildings (some are also marked for direct burial) principally for Class 3 and Class 2 circuits as described in Article 725 and other applicable parts of the National Electrical Code (NEC). Cables covered by these requirements are:

c) Types CL3 and CL2 (commercial cables for other than plenum, riser, or tray uses),

d) Types CL3X and CL2X (cables for limited use), and
