Fire hazard testing - Part 8-1: Heat release - General guidance
IEC 60695-8-1 provides guidance on the measurement and interpretation of heat release from electrotechnical products and materials from which they are constructed. Heat release data can be used as part of fire hazard assessment and in fire safety engineering, as described in the future IEC 60695-1-10 and the future IEC 60695-1-11. This basic safety publication is intended for use by technical committees in the preparation of standards in accordance with the principles laid down in IEC Guide 104 and ISO/IEC Guide 51. Major changes with respect to the first edition are as follows: - editorial changes throughout, - revised terms and definitions, - new text concerning bomb calorimetry, - revised Table 1a, - new clause 5-Parameters used to report heat release data and introduction of intermediate scale fire test.

Essais relatifs aux risques du feu - Partie 8-1: Dégagement de chaleur - Guide général
La CEI 60695-8-1 fournit les lignes directrices sur la mesure et l'interprétation du dégagement de chaleur des produits électrotechniques et des matériaux à partir desquels ils sont fabriqués. Il est possible d'utiliser les résultats de dégagement de chaleur pour évaluer les risques dus au feu et pour la mise au point technique de la sécurité vis-à-vis du feu, comme décrit dans la future CEI 60695-1-10 et dans la CEI 60695-1-11. Cette publication fondamentale de sécurité est destinée à être utilisée par les comités d'études pour l'établissement de leurs normes conformément aux principes exposés dans le Guide 104 de la CEI et dans le Guide ISO/CEI 51. Les principales modifications par rapport à l'édition antérieure sont indiquées ci-dessous: - modifications rédactionnelles dans toute la publication; - termes et définitions révisés; - nouveau texte sur la bombe calorimétrique; - Tableau 1a révisé; - nouvel Article 5- Paramètres utilisés pour indiquer les résultats de dégagement de chaleur et introduction de l'essai au feu à échelle intermédiaire.
Preskušanje požarne ogroženosti - 8-1. del: Oddajanje toplote - Splošno navodilo (IEC 60695-8-1:2016)
Standard IEC 60695-8-1 zagotavlja smernice za merjenje in interpretacijo oddajanja toplote iz elektrotehničnih izdelkov in materialov, iz katerih so ti izdelki izdelani. Podatki o oddani toploti se lahko uporabljajo za oceno nevarnosti požara in v inženiringu požarne varnosti, kot bo opisano v prihodnjem standardu IEC 60695-1-10 in IEC 60695-1-11. Ta osnovna varnostna publikacija je namenjena tehničnim odborom za pripravo standardov v skladu z načeli vodil IEC 104 in ISO/IEC 51. Glavne spremembe glede na prvo različico so naslednje: – uredniške spremembe v celotnem besedilu, – revidirani pogoji in definicije, – novo besedilo, ki zadeva merjenje z bombnim kalorimetrom, – revidirana preglednica 1a, – nova točka 5 – Parametri, ki se uporabljajo za poročanje podatkov o oddani toploti, in uvedba lestvice požarnih preskusov.

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 i
