Fire hazard testing - Part 1-30: Guidance for assessing the fire hazard of electrotechnical products - Use of preselection testing procedures

This part is intended to provide: a) generic guidance; and b) guidance for assessing the significance, relevance and limitations of the data from preselection fire tests compared to the data from fire tests that provide input for hazard assessment. Priority is given to fire hazard assessment tests made on the final end-product; however, in certain cases preselection tests may be agreed upon for practical reasons. Examples of test methods which contain combustion characteristics tests specified in the international test methods of IEC and ISO are listed in annex A. Has the status of a basic safety publication in accordance with IEC Guide 104.

60695-1-30  IEC:2002– 5 –INTERNATIONAL ELECTROTECHNICAL COMMISSION____________FIRE HAZARD TESTING –Part 1-30: Guidance for assessing the fire hazardof electrotechnical products –Use of preselection testing proceduresFOREWORD1)The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprisingall national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of the IEC is to promoteinternational co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. Tothis end and in addition to other activities, the IEC publishes International Standards. Their preparation isentrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with mayparticipate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaisingwith the IEC also participate in this preparation. The IEC collaborates closely with the InternationalOrganization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between thetwo organizations.2)The formal decisions or agreements of the IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, aninternational consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representationfrom all interested National Committees.3)The documents produced have the form of recommendations for international use and are published in the formof standards, technical specifications, technical reports or guides and they are accepted by the NationalCommittees in that sense.4)
In order to promote international unification, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC InternationalStandards transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional standards. Anydivergence between the IEC Standard and the corresponding national or regional standard shall be clearlyindicated in the latter.5)
The IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for anyequipment declared to be in conformity with one of its standards.6)
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subjectof patent rights. The IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.International Standard IEC 60695-1-30 has been prepared by technical committee 89: Firehazard testing.This first edition of IEC 60695-1-30 cancels and replaces the first edition of IEC 60695-1-3,published in 1986, and constitutes a technical revision.It has the status of a basic safety publication in accordance with IEC Guide 104.The text of this standard is based on the following documents:FDISReport on voting89/526/FDIS89/535/RVDFull information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report onvoting indicated in the above table.This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.This publication shall be used in conjunction with IEC 60695-1-1.Annexes A and B are for information only.SIST EN 60695-1-30:2003

60695-1-30  IEC:2002– 9 –INTRODUCTIONThe information gained from properly designed small-scale tests can be used as an aid for thepreselection of proper materials, parts, components or sub-assemblies with regard to the firehazard evaluation of the final end-product. The best method for testing electrotechnicalproducts with regard to fire hazard is to duplicate exactly the conditions occurring in practice.Where this is not practicable, fire hazard testing should be conducted by simulating as closelyas possible the actual conditions of use and of the situation to which a sub-assembly,component, part or material may be exposed in such use.SIST EN 60695-1-30:2003



60695-1-30  IEC:2002– 11 –FIRE HAZARD TESTING –Part 1-30: Guidance for assessing the fire hazardof electrotechnical products –Use of preselection testing procedures1 ScopeThis part of IEC 60695 is intended to provide:a)generic guidance; andb)guidance for assessing the significance, relevance and limitations of the data frompreselection fire tests compared to the data from fire tests that provide input for hazardassessment.Priority is given to fire hazard assessment tests made on the final end-product; however, incertain cases preselection tests may be agreed upon for practical reasons.One of the responsibilities of a technical committee is, wherever applicable, to make use ofbasic safety publications in the preparation of its publications.Examples of test methods which contain combustion characteristics tests specified in theinternational test methods of IEC and ISO are listed in annex A.2 Normative referencesThe following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.For dated references, only the edition cited applies.

Examples oftests which may be relevant to preselection are contained in annex A.The actual fire performance of materials, parts, components and sub-assemblies is affectedby such things as:a)thickness and size of the test specimen;b)shape, homogeneity and volume of the test specimen;c)association with other items;d)composition of materials, etc;e)methods of assembly;f)covers, barriers and coatings;g)types and period of environmental exposures;h)effects of manufacturing processes;I)ignition sources and their locations;j)heat sinks;k)heat transfer effects.Consequently, a preselection procedure to assess the adequate performance of a final end-product requires test data on materials, parts, components and sub-assemblies that shall takeinto account all of the relevant features (e.g. the environmental conditions, association withother items, ignition sources, etc.)Decision analysis flow charts for an illustrative example of the potential use of preselection,are shown in annex B.SIST EN 60695-1-30:2003



60695-1-30  IEC:2002– 15 –5 Advantages and limitations of preselection testing5.1 AdvantagesA preselection procedure which can meet the principles described in clause 4 may presentcertain advantages.a)A material which reacts more favourably than another when tested as a standard testspecimen may also react more favourably when used as a finished part in the product,provided that possible synergistic or antagonistic effects are taken into account.b)Data concerning relevant reaction to abnormal heat and fire can aid the selection ofmaterials, parts, components and sub-assemblies during the design stage.c)Preselection tests may be used in a decision making process directed to minimize the firehazard. Where applicable for the purpose of fire hazard assessment, they may lead to areduction in the number of end-product tests with a consequent reduction in the totaltesting needed.d)The grading and classification obtained from the preselection test results may be used tospecify a basic minimum performance of materials used in product specifications.5.2 LimitationsA preselection procedure may also present certain limitations.a)It should be noted that when preselection testing is used to replace some of the end-product testing, it is necessary to have a level of performance corresponding to anincreased margin of safety in an attempt to ensure satisfactory performance of the end-product.b)However, in some cases it cannot be assumed that any direct relationship exists betweenthe results of a preselection test and actual performance of the product.c)Additionally, such procedures may result in restrictions on innovative designs and/oreconomic material selection, which can be avoided by carrying out final end-producttesting.6 Aspects of preselection testing relative to hazard assessmentPreselection of materials based on the results obtained by reaction to abnormal heat and firetests may be used in the decision-making proc
