13.220.40 - Ignitability and burning behaviour of materials and products

This standard specifies the procedure for testing the resistance to vertical flame propagation for a single vertical electrical insulated conductor or cable, or optical fibre cable, under fire conditions.

This document describes and classifies a range of laboratory ignition sources for use in fire tests on plastics and products consisting substantially of plastics. These sources vary in intensity and area of impingement. They are suitable for use to simulate the initial thermal abuse to which plastics are potentially exposed in certain actual fire risk scenarios. This compilation of standard ignition sources describes the ignition sources used by different standards development organizations and ...view more

This document specifies a small-scale laboratory screening procedure for comparing the relative burning characteristics of horizontally oriented, small cellular plastic specimens having a density less than 250 kg⋅m−3 determined in accordance with ISO 845, when exposed to a small-flame ignition source. NOTE Another International Standard which covers flexible cellular plastic and cellular rubber is ISO 3582[2]. This method of test is intended for quality assurance and limited product evaluation o...view more

This document specifies methods for flame tests to be applied to respiratory protective devices.

EN 60332-3-10:2018 details the apparatus and its arrangement and calibration for methods of test for the assessment of vertical flame spread of vertically mounted bunched wires or cables, electrical or optical, under defined conditions.

IEC 62714-4:2020 specifies the integration of logic information as part of an AML model for the data exchange in a heterogenous engineering tool landscape of production systems.
This document specifies three types of logic information: sequencing, behaviour, and interlocking information.
This document deals with the six following sequencing and behaviour logic models (covering the different phases of the engineering process of production systems) and how they are integrated in AML: Gantt chart...view more

EN-IEC 60695-1-12  is intended as a general guideline for IEC Product Committees and provides: - an explanation of the principles and uses of fire safety engineering; - guidance on the use of fire safety engineering in the design of electrotechnical products; - fire safety engineering terminology, and concepts; - an indication of properties, data and tests needed for input into fire safety engineering assessments; - informative references. This international standard is not intended to be a deta...view more

EN 50306-4 specifies requirements for, and constructions and dimensions of, multicore and multipair cables rated voltage Uo/U: 300/500 V, of the following types:
- unscreened, sheathed for either exposed or protected wiring, 0,5 mm2 to 2,5 mm2, number of cores from 2 to 48;
- screened, sheathed for either exposed or protected wiring, 0,5 mm2 to 2,5 mm2, number of cores from 2 to 8;
- unscreened, sheathed for either exposed or protected wiring, 0,5 mm2 to 1,5 mm2, number of screened pairs of c...view more

EN 50306 1 specifies the general requirements applicable to the cables given EN 50306 2, EN 50306 3 and EN 50306 4. It includes the detailed requirements for S2 sheathing materials and other components called up in the separate Parts. In particular EN 50306 1 specifies those requirements relating to fire safety which enable the cables to satisfy Hazard Level3 of EN 45545-1 and -2.

EN 50306-2 specifies requirements for, and constructions and dimensions of, single core cables, rated voltage Uo / U= 300 /300 V, of the following type:  Unscreened, 0,5 mm2 to 2,5 mm2 single core

EN 50306-3 specifies requirements for, and constructions and dimensions of, multicore cables, rated voltage Uo/U=300/500 V, of the following type: Screened, 0,5 mm2 to 2,5 mm2, number of cores from 1 to 8. All cables have stranded tinned copper conductors, and thin wall thickness, halogen-free, insulation and sheath. They are for use in railway rolling stock as fixed wiring, or wiring where limited flexing in operation is encountered.

This standard specifies special test methods applicable to cables, and their constituent insulating and sheathing materials, for use in railway rolling stock.  Such cables are specified in the various parts of EN 50264, EN 50306 and EN 50382.

This document specifies requirements for, and constructions and dimensions of, single core cables, rated voltage U0 / U = 300 /300 V, of the following type: Unscreened (0,5 mm2 to 2,5 mm2 single core) These cables are rated for occasional thermal stresses causing ageing equivalent to continuous operational life at a temperature of 105 °C. For standard cables, this is determined by the acceptance test defined in EN 50305, using accelerated long-term (5 000 h) thermal ageing indicating a 125 °C/20...view more
