IEC 60695-11-10 Fire hazard testing - Part 11-10: Test flames -50 W horizontal and vertical flame test methods
IEC 60695-11-10(UL 94)Fire Retardant Test to Plastics Material - Scope
IEC 60695-11-10:2013 specifies small-scale laboratory test procedures intended to compare the burning behaviour of different materials used in electrotechnical products when vertically or horizontally oriented test bar specimens are exposed to a small flame ignition source with a nominal thermal power of 50 W.
These test methods determine either the linear burning rate or the self-extinguishing properties of materials.
These test methods are applicable to solid and cellular materials that have an apparent density of more than 250 kg/m3, determined in accordance with ISO 845.
Two test methods are described.
Method A is a horizontal burning test and is intended to determine the linear burning rate of materials under specific test conditions.
Method B is a vertical burning test and is intended to determine whether materials self-extinguish under specific test conditions.
