Overview

FprEN IEC 60695-11-2:2026 is an international standard that specifies the requirements for producing and confirming a nominal 1 kW propane/air pre-mixed test flame, primarily used in fire hazard testing. Published by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and developed by Technical Committee 89 (Fire hazard testing), this standard provides detailed descriptions of the apparatus, confirmatory test arrangements, and guidance necessary for ensuring consistent and reliable fire hazard test results. It is a core document for laboratories, manufacturers, and technical committees focusing on the safety and ignitability evaluation of materials and products.

Key Topics

• Apparatus and Burner Specifications

  • Describes the construction and arrangement of the standardized 1 kW burner.
  • Specifies requirements for propane gas purity, air supply, and draught-free test environments.

• Test Flame Production Methods

  • Outlines two methods (A and B) for producing a stable and symmetrical pre-mixed 1 kW flame.
  • Details volume flow rates for propane and air to achieve standard test conditions.

• Confirmatory Test Procedure

  • Establishes procedures using a precisely specified copper block and thermocouple to verify flame power output.
  • Requires regular confirmation tests to ensure ongoing reliability and repeatability.

• Safety and Test Environment

  • Recommends use of a laboratory fumehood or chamber to maintain a controlled, draught-free environment.
  • Provides guidance on safety, including proper extraction of combustion products and observation of test conditions.

• Recommended Test Arrangements

  • Specifies positioning of the burner relative to test specimens for reproducible results.
  • Includes special arrangements when testing strips or non-rigid samples to maintain flame contact without damaging the apparatus.

Applications

Fire Hazard Testing
FprEN IEC 60695-11-2:2026 is a foundational reference for fire hazard testing of electrotechnical products and material samples. Typical applications include:

• Quality Assurance: Ensuring that products and materials meet international requirements for flammability and ignition resistance.
• Product Development: Assisting designers and manufacturers to select materials and design components that minimize fire risk in normal and foreseeable abnormal conditions.
• Regulatory Compliance: Supporting compliance with safety legislation and industry requirements by providing standardized test methods.
• Research and Development: Facilitating comparative studies on material behavior under fire exposure for innovation in fire-safe materials.
• Certification and Verification: Serving as a basis for conformity assessment and certification schemes in electrical and electronics industries.

By implementing the standardized test flame procedures, organizations can reliably assess ignitability and burning behavior, reduce risk, and demonstrate commitment to fire safety in products.

Related Standards

FprEN IEC 60695-11-2:2026 is closely aligned with other parts of the IEC 60695 series, each covering various aspects of fire hazard testing and test flames:

• IEC 60695-1-10: Guidance for assessing fire hazards of electrotechnical products.
• IEC 60695-1-11: Guidance for undertaking fire hazard assessments.
• IEC 60695-11-3: Test flames - 500 W flames - Apparatus and confirmatory methods.
• IEC 60695-11-4: Test flames - 50 W flame - Apparatus and confirmatory test method.
• IEC 60695-11-5: Needle-flame test methods.
• IEC 60695-11-10 and 11-20: Horizontal and vertical flame test methods.
• IEC TS 60695-11-40: Confirmatory tests and further guidance for test flames.

Adopting FprEN IEC 60695-11-2:2026 alongside these related standards helps ensure a comprehensive and harmonized approach to fire safety and hazard assessment across industries.

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 corres ponding 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 assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity.
IEC is not responsible for any services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including
individual experts and members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for
any personal injury, property damage or other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct
or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and expenses arising out of the publication, use
of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced
publications is indispensable for the correct application of this publication.

INTRODUCTION
In the design of any electrotechnical product, the risk of fire and the potential hazards
associated with fire need to be considered. In this respect the objective of component, circuit,
and product design, as well as the choice of materials, is to reduce to acceptable levels the
potential risks of fire during normal operating conditions, reasonable foreseeable abnormal use,
malfunction, and/or failure. The IEC has developed IEC 60695-1-10 [4] , together with its
companion, IEC 60695-1-11 [5], to provide guidance on how this is to be accomplished.
The primary aims of IEC 60695-1-10 [4] and IEC 60695-1-11 [5] are to provide guidance on
how:
a) to prevent ignition caused by an electrically energized component part, and
b) to confine any resulting fire within the bounds of the enclosure of the electrotechnical
product in the event of ignition.
Secondary aims of these documents include the minimization of any flame spread beyond the
product’s enclosure and the minimization of harmful effects of fire effluents such as heat,
smoke, toxicity and/or corrosivity.
Fires involving electrotechnical products can also be initiated from external non -electrical
sources. Considerations of this nature should be dealt with in the overall fire risk assessment.
IEC 60695-11-2 provides a description of the apparatus required to produce a 1 kW test flame,
and provides a description of the principle of a confirmation procedure to check that the effective
power output of the flame is as intended. Guidance on confirmatory tests for test flames is given
in IEC TS 60695-11-40 [3].
This part of IEC 60695 may involve hazardous materials, operations, and equipment. It does
not purport to address all of the safety problems associat
