Fire hazard testing - Part 2-11: Glowing/hot-wire based test methods - Glow-wire flammability test method for end-products (GWEPT) (IEC 60695-2-11:2014)

NEW! IEC 60695-2-11:2014 is available as IEC Standards+ 60695-2-11:2014 which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition. IEC 60695-2-11:201 4 specifies a test method on an end product. It is intended to simulate the effects of thermal stresses produced by an electrically heated source to represent a fire hazard. This test method is used to check that, under defined test conditions, an end product exposed to an electrically heated source has either a limi ted ability to ignite or, if it ignites, a limited ability to propa gate flame. However, the fire hazard analysis, the flammability aspects and the flame spreading to other products are not covered by the present standard. This second edition of IEC 60695-2-11 cancels and replaces the first edition of IEC 60695-2-11 published in 2000. It constitutes a technical revision. The main changes with respect to the previous edition are: - the Introduction has been added to provide background and how it relates to the Scope, - the Scope has been modified for greater clarity and reference to basic safety publications, - numerous terms and definitions relevant to this Standard have been added to Clause 3, - the application of 'small parts' and 'insignificant mass' have been introduced and clarified, - the different types of specimens, how to specify them, and limitations of the test method have been further clarified in Clause 4, - clarified in Clause 5 the distance to specified layer when unknown, - the information from Clause 6 has been moved into the test procedure in Clause 8, - the conditioning of the specified layer and the laboratory ambient test conditions were clarified in Clause 7, - measurement of the maximum flame height was removed from Clause 9, - the reference to this test as 'GWEPT' was introduced along with an applicable title change and - Annex A has been revised to reflect current practice by prominent product committees. This standard has the status of a basic safety publication in accordance with IEC Guide 104 and ISO/IEC Guide 51. This standard is to be used in conjunction with IEC 60695-2-10. Key words: Glowing/hot-wire, Glow wire, Flammability, Fire hazard

Essais relatifs aux risques du feu - Partie 2-11: Essais au fil incandescent/chauffant - Méthode d'essai d'inflammabilité pour produits finis (GWEPT) (CEI 60695-2-11:2014)

NEW! IEC 60695-2-11:2014 est disponible sous forme de IEC Standards+ 60695-2-11:2014 qui contient la Norme internationale et sa version Redline, illustrant les modifications du contenu technique depuis l'édition précédente. IEC 60695-2-11:2014 spécifie une méthode d'essai applicable au produit fini. Elle est destinée à simuler l'effet de contraintes thermiques produites par une source chauffée électriquement afin de représenter un danger d'incendie. La présente méthode d'essai permet de vérifier que, dans des conditions d'essai définies, un produit fini exposé à une source chauffée électriquement présente une aptitude limitée à s'enflammer ou, s'il s'enflamme, une aptitude limitée à propager la flamme. Cependant, la présente norme ne traite pas de l'analyse du danger d'incendie, des aspects d'inflammabilité et de propagation de flammes à d'autres produits. Cette deuxième édition de la CEI 60695-2-11 annule et remplace la première édition de la CEI 60695-2-11 publiée en 2000. Elle constitue une révision technique. Les principales modifications apportées par rapport à l'édition précédente sont énumérées ci-dessous: - l'introduction a été modifiée pour fournir le contexte et montrer la relation avec le domaine d'application, - modification du domaine d'application pour davantage de clarté, et pour faire référence aux publications fondamentales de sécurité, - ajout à l'Article 2 de nombreux termes et définitions applicables à la présente Norme, - introduction et clarification de l'application des 'petites pièces' et de la 'masse négligeable', - clarification supplémentaire à l'Article 4 des différents types d'éprouvettes, de la manière de les spécifier et des limitations de la méthode d'essai, - clarification à l'Article 5 de la distance par rapport à la sous-couche spécifiée, lorsqu'elle n'est pas connue, - transfert des informations de l'Article 6 dans la procédure d'essai de l'Article 8, - clarification à l'Article 7 du conditionnement de la sous-couche spécifiée et des conditions d'essai ambiantes de laboratoire, - suppression de la mesure de la hauteur de flamme maximale de l'Article 9, - introduction de la référence à cet essai comme essai 'GWEPT', et modification du titre en conséquence et - la révision de l'Annexe A, afin de refléter les pratiques en vigueur au sein des comités de produits clés. Elle a le statut d'une publication fondamentale de sécurité, conformément au Guide CEI 104 et au Guide ISO/CEI 51. Cette norme doit être utilisée conjointement avec la CEI 60695-2-10. Mots-clés: fil incandescent/chauffant, fil incandescent, inflammabilité, risque du feu

Preskušanje požarne ogroženosti - 2-11. del: Preskusne metode z žarilno žico - Preskušanje vnetljivosti končnega proizvoda z žarilno žico in navodila IEC (GWEPT) (IEC 60695-2-11:2014)

Standard EN IEC 60695-2-11 določa preskusno metodo za končni proizvod. Namenjena je poustvarjanju učinkov toplotne preobremenitve, ki jo proizvede električno ogrevani vir, s čimer se ponazori požarna ogroženost. Ta preskusna metoda se uporablja za preverjanje, ali ima pod opredeljenimi preskusnimi pogoji končni proizvod, ki je izpostavljen električno ogrevanem viru, omejeno sposobnost vžiga ali, če se vžge, omejeno sposobnost širjenja plamena. Vendar pa v tem standardu niso zajeti analiza požarne ogroženosti, vidiki vnetljivosti in širjenje plamena na druge proizvode. Ta osnovna varnostna publikacija je namenjena tehničnim odborom za pripravo standardov v skladu z načeli vodil IEC 104 in ISO/IEC 51. Ena od odgovornosti tehničnega odbora je, da kjer je to primerno, uporablja osnovne varnostne publikacije. Zahteve, preskusne metode ali preskusni pogoji iz te osnovne varnostne publikacije se ne uporabljajo, razen če so izrecno navedeni ali zajeti v ustrezne publikacije.

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 for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
