Fire hazard testing - Part 7-2: Toxicity of fire effluent - Summary and relevance of test methods

Gives a brief summary of the test methods that are in common use in the assessment of lethal and sublethal acute toxic potency, and other toxicity tests. It includes special observations on their relevance to real fire scenarios and gives recommendations on their use. It advises which tests provide toxic potency data which is relevant to real fire scenarios, and which are suitable for use in fire hazard assessment and fire safety engineering. Has the status of a basic safety publication in accordance with IEC Guide 104.

Preskušanje požarne ogroženosti - 7-2. del: Toksičnost dimnih plinov - Povzetek in relevantnost preskusnih metod

Ta del IEC 60695 podaja kratek povzetek preskusnih metod, ki so v splošni uporabi pri ocenjevanju akutne učinkovitosti strupa in drugih preskusov toksičnosti. Vključuje posebne ugotovitve glede njihove pomembnosti za realne požarne scenarije ter podaja priporočila za njihovo uporabo. Svetuje, kateri preskusi zagotavljajo podatke o učinkovitosti strupa, ki so pomembni za realne požarne scenarije, in kateri so primerni za uporabo pri ocenjevanju nevarnosti požara in načrtovanju požarne varnosti. Ta osnovna varnostna objava je namenjena temu, da jo uporabljajo tehnični odbori pri pripravi standardov v skladu z načeli, opredeljenimi v Vodilu 104 IEC in Vodilu 51 ISO/IEC. Ena od odgovornosti tehničnega odbora je, če je to primerno, uporabiti temeljne varnostne objave pri pripravi svojih objav. Zahteve, preskusne metode ali preskusni pogoji te temeljne varnostne objave se ne uporabljajo, razen če se ustrezne publikacije nanje izrecno sklicujejo ali jih vključujejo.

FIRE HAZARD TESTING –

Part 7-2: Toxicity of fire effluent –
Summary and relevance of test methods


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
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.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 60695-7-2 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 89: Fire
hazard testing.
This first edition of IEC 60695-7-2 cancels and replaces the first edition of Technical Report
IEC/TR 60695-7-2 published in 2002. It constitutes a technical revision and now has the
status of an International Standard.
It has the status of a basic safety publication in accordance with IEC Guide 104 and ISO/IEC
Guide 51.
The main changes with respect to the previous edition are listed below:
– editorial changes throughout;
– expanded normative references;
– revised terms and definitions;

---------------------- Page: 9 ----------------------

– 6 – 60695-7-2 © IEC:2011
– modifications to “Repeatability and reproducibility” data throughout;
– modifications to “Relevance of test data” throughout;
– modifications to Clause 5;
– new Table 1 and Figure 1;
– introduction of ISO test method in new Subclause 6.6;
– introduction of test method from EN 50305 in new Subclause 6.8;
– revised Annex A and new Table A.1;
– expanded Bibliography.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
89/1059/FDIS 89/1073/RVD

Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on
voting indicated in the above table.
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
A list of all the parts in the 60695 series, under the general title Fire hazard testing, can be
found on the IEC website.
IEC 60695-7 consists of the following parts:
Part 7-1: Toxicity of fire effluent – General guidance
Part 7-2: Toxicity of fire effluent – Summary and relevance of test methods
Part 7-3: Toxicity of fire effluent – Use and interpretation of test results
Part 7-50: Toxicity of fire effluent – Estimation of toxic potency – Apparatus and test method
Part 7-51: Toxicity of fire effluent – Estimation of toxic potency – Calculation and
interpretation of test results
The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until
the stability date indicated on the IEC web site under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data
related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.

INTRODUCTION
The IEC 60695-7 series provides guidance to IEC product committees on the adoption and
implementation of the recommendations of ISO/TC 92, for the minimization of toxic hazard
from fires involving electrotechnical products.
Electrotechnical products, primarily as the objects of a fire, may contribute to the fire hazard
due to release of toxic effluent, which may be a significant contributing factor to the overall
fire hazard.
IEC product committees incorporating requirements for the assessment of toxic hazard from
fire in product standards should note that toxic potency and other measurements of toxicity
which are described in this international standard should not be used directly in product
specifications. Data from toxic potency test methods should only be used as part of a toxic
hazard assessment, in conjunction with other product-based reaction to fire data such as
mass loss rate.
