EN 60695-2-10: Fire Hazard Testing - Part 2-10: Glowing/Hot-Wire Based Test Methods - Glow-Wire Apparatus and Common Test Procedure
EN 60695-2-10 Glowing/Hot-Wire Based Test Methods–Scope
This part of IEC 60695 specifies the glow-wire apparatus and common test procedure to simulate the effects of thermal stresses which may be produced by heat sources such as glowing elements or overloaded resistors, for short periods, in order to assess the fire hazard by a simulation technique.
The test procedure described in this standard is a common test procedure intended for the small-scale tests in which a standardized electrically heated wire is used as a source of ignition.It is a common part of the test procedures applied to end products and to solid electrical insulating materials or other solid combustible materials.
A detailed description of each particular test procedure is given in the respective standards IEC 60695-2-11, IEC 60695-2-12 and IEC 60695-2-13.
