Test on gases evolved during combustion of materials from cables - Part 2: Determination of acidity (by pH measurement) and conductivity

EN-IEC 60754-1 specifies the apparatus and procedure for the determination of the potential corrosivity of gases evolved during the combustion of materials taken from electric or optical fibre cable constructions by measuring the acidity (pH) and conductivity of an aqueous solution resulting from the gases evolved during the combustion. The general method specified in this standard is intended for the testing of individual components used in a cable construction. Formulae are given for the calculation of a weighted value for a combination of materials found in a specified cable. The use of this method will enable the verification of relevant requirements for either individual components or combined components of a cable construction stated in the appropriate cable specification. A simplified method is included for the testing of individual components where it is required only to demonstrate compliance with a stated performance requirement for quality control purposes.

TEST ON GASES EVOLVED DURING
COMBUSTION OF MATERIALS FROM CABLES –
Part 2: Determination of acidity
(by pH measurement) and conductivity
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 60754-2 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 20: Electric cables. It has the status of a group safety publication in accordance with IEC Guide 104.
This second edition of IEC 60754-2 cancels and replaces the first edition, published in 1991, Amendment 1 (1997), and constitutes a technical revision. The significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition are as follows:
– improved definition of safety requirements relating to capture of gases; – introduction of guidance on the preparation of test specimens for more even combustion; – better expression of tolerances and precision; – clarification of the conductivity and acidity functions; SIST EN 60754-2:2014

– improved definition of the heating procedure; – greater precision in the definition of the test temperature for the determination of pH value and conductivity; – correction of the formulae for the calculation of the test results. The text of this standard is based on the following documents: FDIS Report on voting 20/1265/FDIS 20/1275/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 IEC 60754 series, published under the general title Test on gases evolved during combustion of materials from cables, can be found on the IEC website. 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

– 6 – 60754-2 © IEC:2011 INTRODUCTION IEC 60754 consists of the following parts, under the general title Test on gases evolved during combustion of materials from cables: – Part 1: Determination of the halogen acid gas content – Part 2: Determination of acidity (by pH measurement) and conductivity. IEC 60754-2 was originally developed due to concerns expressed by cable users over the amount of acid gas evolved when some cable insulating, sheathing and other materials are burned, as such corrosive effluent can cause extensive damage to electrical and electronic equipment not involved in the fire itself. NOTE Guidance on the corrosivity of fire effluent is given in IEC 60695-5-1. This standard provides a method for determining the acidity (by pH measurement) and conductivity of an aqueous solution of gases evolved during the combustion of materials so that limits can be agreed for cable specifications. As the test is not carried out on a complete cable test piece, for a hazard assessment the actual material volumes of the cable components should be taken into consideration.
The method provides an indirect assessment of corrosivity. However, the recommended limits of pH and conductivity can only be regarded as an indication, as the relationship between corrosion and these two parameters does n
