Fire hazard testing - Part 6-1: Smoke obscuration - General guidance (IEC 60695-6-1:2005/A1:2010)

This part of IEC 60695 gives guidance on:
a) optical measurement of smoke obscuration;
b) general aspects of optical smoke test methods;
c) consideration of test methods;
d) expression of smoke test data;
e) relevance of optical smoke data to hazard assessment.
One of the responsibilities of a technical committee is, wherever applicable, to make use of basic safety publications in the preparation of its publications.

Preskušanje požarne ogroženosti - 6-1. del: Otemnitev dima - Splošna navodila - Dopolnilo A1 (IEC 60695-6-1:2005/A1:2010)

Ta del IEC 60695 podaja navodila o:
a) optičnih meritvah otemnitve dima;
b) splošnih vidikih optičnih dimnih preskusnih metod;
c) obravnavi preskusnih metod;
d) izražanju podatkov dimnih preskusov;
e) pomembnosti optičnih dimnih podatkov za oceno ogroženosti.
Ena od odgovornosti tehničnega odbora je, če je primerno, da uporabi temeljne varnostne publikacije pri pripravi svojih publikacij.

Replace the text of this subclause with the following:
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in ISO/IEC 13943, some of
which are reproduced below for the uses’ convenience, as well as the following apply.
3.1.1
combustion
exothermic reaction of a substance with an oxidizing agent
NOTE Combustion generally emits fire effluent accompanied by flames and/or glowing.
[ISO/IEC 13943, definition 4.46]
3.1.2
extinction area of smoke
product of the volume occupied by smoke and the extinction coefficient of the smoke
2
NOTE It is a measure of the amount of smoke, and the typical units are square metres (m ).
[ISO /IEC 13943, definition 4.92]
3.1.3
extinction coefficient
natural logarithm of the ratio of incident light intensity to transmitted light intensity, per unit
light path length
–1
NOTE Typical units are reciprocal metres (m ).

[ISO/IEC 13943, definition 4.93]
3.1.4
fire
〈general〉 process of combustion characterized by the emission of heat and fire effluent and
usually accompanied by smoke, flame or glowing or a combination thereof
NOTE In the English language the term "fire" is used to designate three concepts, two of which, fire (3.1.5) and
fire (3.1.6), relate to specific types of self-supporting combustion with different meanings and two of them are
designated using two different terms in both French and German.
[ISO/IEC 13943, definition 4.96]
3.1.5
fire
〈controlled〉 self-supporting combustion that has been deliberately arranged to provide useful
effects and is limited in its extent in time and space
[ISO/IEC 13943, definition 4.97]
3.1.6
fire
〈uncontrolled〉 self-supporting combustion that has not been deliberately arranged to provide
useful effects and is not limited in its extent in time and space
[ISO/IEC 13943, definition 4.98]
3.1.7
fire effluent
totality of gases and aerosols, including suspended particles, created by combustion or
pyrolysis in a fire
[ISO/IEC 13943, definition 4.105]
3.1.8
fire hazard
physical object or condition with a potential for an undesirable consequence from fire
[ISO/IEC 13943, definition 4.112]
3.1.9
fire model
fire simulation
calculation method that describes a system or process related to fire development, including
fire dynamics and the effects of fire
[ISO/IEC 13943, definition 4.116]
3.1.10
fire scenario
qualitative description of the course of a fire with respect to time, identifying key events that
characterise the studied fire and differentiate it from other possible fires
NOTE It typically defines the ignition and fire growth processes, the fully developed fire stage, the fire decay
stage, and the environment and systems that impact on the course of the fire.
[ISO/IEC 13943, definition 4.129]

heat flux
amount of thermal energy emitted, transmitted or received per unit area and per unit time
–2
NOTE The typical units are watts per square metre (W·m ).

ignition
sustained ignition (deprecated)
〈general〉 initiation of combustion

3.1.15
large-scale fire test
fire test, that cannot be carried out in a typical laboratory chamber, performed on a test
specimen of large dimensions
NOTE A fire test performed on a test specimen of which the maximum dimension is greater than 3 m is usually
called a large-scale fire test.
[ISO/IEC 13943, definition 4.205]
3.1.16
mass optical density of smoke
optical density of smoke multiplied by a factor, V/(Δm L), where V is the volume of the test
chamber, Δm is the mass lost from the test specimen, and
