EN 60332-1-3:2004

Tests on electric and optical fibre cables under fire conditions - Part 1-3: Test for vertical flame propagation for a single insulated wire or cable - Procedure for determination of flaming droplets/particles

Specifies a test procedure for assessment of falling flaming droplets/ particles when a single vertical electrical insulated conductor or cable, or optical fibre cable, is subjected to defined fire conditions. NOTE - Testing to EN 60332-1-3 may be performed simultaneously with that to EN 60332-1-2, if required. Recommended requirements for performance are given in Annex A. EN 60332-1-3 specifies the use of a 1 kW pre-mixed flame and is for general use, except that the procedure specified may not be suitable for the testing of small single insulated conductors or cables of less than 0,5 mm2 total cross-section because the conductor melts before the test is completed, or for the testing of small optical fibre cables because the cable is broken before the test is completed. Has the status of a group safety publication in accordance with IEC Guide 104.

Prüfungen an Kabeln, isolierten Leitungen und Glasfaserkabeln im Brandfall - Teil 1-3: Prüfung der vertikalen Flammenausbreitung an einer Ader, einer isolierten Leitung oder einem Kabel - Prüfverfahren zur Bewertung fallender brennender Tropfen/Teile

Essais des câbles électriques et à fibres optiques soumis au feu - Partie 1-3: Essai de propagation verticale de la flamme sur conducteur ou câble isolé - Procédure pour la détermination des particules/gouttelettes enflammées

Spécifie une méthode d'essai pour évaluer les particules/gouttelettes enflammées tombant d'un conducteur ou câble, ou d'un câble à fibres optiques, lorsqu'il est soumis au feu dans des conditions définies. NOTE - L'essai de la EN 60332-1-3 peut être réalisé simultanément avec celui de la EN 60332-1-2, si demandé. L'Annexe A donne les recommandations pour les prescriptions de performance. La EN 60332-1-3 donne des précisions sur l'emploi d'une flamme de type à prémélange de 1 kW et est destinée à un usage général. Cependant la procédure spécifiée peut ne pas convenir pour l'essai sur conducteur ou câble de section totale inférieure à 0,5 mm2, car l'âme peut fondre avant la fin de l'essai, ou bien encore pour l'essai de petits câbles à fibres optiques parce que le câble est rompu avant la fin de l'essai. A le statut d'une publication groupée de sécurité conformément au Guide CEI 104.

Preskusi na električnih kablih in kablih iz optičnih vlaken v požarnih razmerah – 1-3. del: Preskus navpičnega širjenja ognja po posamezni izolirani žici ali kablu – Postopek za ugotavljanje gorečih kapljic/delcev

Ta del standarda IEC 60332 določa preskusni postopek za ocenitev padajočih gorečih kapljic/delcev, kadar je enojni navpični električni izolirani vodnik/kabel ali kabel iz optičnih vlaken izpostavljen določenim požarnim razmeram.
OPOMBA 1: Po potrebi se lahko preskušanje v skladu z določili standarda IEC 60332-1-3 izvaja hkrati s preskušanjem v skladu z določili standarda IEC 60332-1-2.
Priporočene zahteve glede lastnosti so navedene v dodatku A.
IEC 60332-1-3 določa uporabo predmešanega plamena 1 kW in je namenjen za splošno uporabo, vendar predpisani postopek morda ne bo primeren za preskušanje posameznih tankih izoliranih vodnikov ali kablov s skupnim presekom manj kot 0,5 mm2, ker se vodnik stali, preden je preskus dokončan, ali za preskušanje tankih kablov iz optičnih vlaken, ker se kabel zlomi, preden je preskus dokončan.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible f
