SC 61C interpretation sheet on: Subclause 30.2.101 with respect to testing of built-in
appliances and interpretation of accessible non-metallic material
Questions: Some questions have arisen over the text added to 30.2 and 30.2.101 via AMD2
concerning non-metallic material on the external rear surfaces of an appliance that is in direct
contact with thermal insulation. These are:
a) Is the non-metallic material on the external rear surfaces of an appliance that is in direct
contact with thermal insulation considered to be “accessible non-metallic material” ?
b) Does the term “accessible” have the meaning defined in 3.6.3 of Part 1 ?
c) What force is applied to test probe B when judging accessibility ?
d) For built-in appliances, is accessibility judged before the appliance is built-in ?

The addition to 30.2 states:
For accessible thermal insulation and non-metallic material on the external rear surfaces of an
appliance having an area exceeding 75 cm that is in direct contact with the thermal
insulation, compliance is checked by the test of 30.2.101.
Subclause 30.2.101 states:
30.2.101 Accessible thermal insulation and non-metallic material on the external rear
surfaces of an appliance that is in direct contact with thermal insulation
− is subject to the needle-flame test (NFT) of Annex E; or
− shall comprise material classified as V-0 or V-1 according to IEC 60695-11-10 provided
that the test sample used for the classification was no thicker than the relevant part of the
appliance.
Non-metallic material
− that is within 150 mm from the top surface of the appliance;
− that is on the left side or right side of the motor-compressor compartment;
− that has an area not exceeding 75 cm that is in direct contact with the thermal insulation
is not tested.
ANSWERS
a) Yes
b) Yes
c) The test probe is applied with a force not exceeding 1 N
d) Yes. This is irrespective of the last paragraph of 5.10 of Part 1

INTERPRETATION SHEET 2

"Add the following to the addition:
For accessible thermal insulation and non-metallic material on the external rear surfaces of an
appliance having an area exceeding 75 cm that is in direct contact with the thermal
insulation, compliance is checked by the test of 30.2.101."

Question 1: Has this subclause to be interpreted as:
"Add the following to the addition:
For accessible thermal insulation and non-metallic material on the external rear surfaces of an
appliance having a total area exceeding 75 cm that is in direct contact with the thermal
insulation, compliance is checked by the test of 30.2.101."
Subclause 30.2.101, final bullet point states:
• "that has an area not exceeding 75 cm that is in direct contact with the thermal
insulation is not tested. "
Question 2: Has this bullet point to be interpreted as:
• "that has a total area not exceeding 75 cm that is in direct contact with the thermal
insulation is not tested. "
Answers:
Question 1 –
From Subclause 30.2 addition, the following materials shall be tested:
1) Accessible thermal insulation
2) Non-metallic material on the rear surface of the appliance having an area exceeding
that is in direct contact with the thermal insulation
75 cm
Small holes (< 3 mm ) in the outer case were not intended to be considered as “accessible
thermal insulation”. These small < 3 mm holes are much smaller than the test probe B, so
therefore the thermal insulation of 3 mm holes is automatically not considered as accessible
thermal insulation without additional evaluation.
When testing accessible thermal insulation, the test is intended to be performed by applying
the flame to the accessible thermal insulation on the end product.
Question 2 – See question 1.
