Fire hazard testing - Part 9-2: Surface spread of flame - Summary and relevance of test methods

EN-IEC 60695-9-2 presents a summary of published test methods that are used to determine the surface spread of flame of electrotechnical products or materials from which they are formed. It represents the current state of the art of the test methods and, where available, includes special observations on their relevance and use. The list of test methods is not to be considered exhaustive, and test methods that were not developed by IEC TC89 are not to be considered as endorsed by IEC TC89 unless this is specifically stated. This summary cannot be used in place of published standards which are the only valid reference documents. This basic safety publication is intended for use by technical committees in the preparation of standards in accordance with the principles laid down in IEC Guide 104 and ISO/IEC Guide 51. One of the responsibilities of a technical committee is, wherever applicable, to make use of basic safety publications in the preparation of its publications. The requirements, test methods or test conditions of this basic safety publication will not apply unless specifically referred to or included in the relevant publications.

Essais relatifs aux risques du feu - Partie 9-2: Propagation des flammes en surface - Résumé et pertinence des méthodes d'essai

L'IEC 60695-9-2:2014 propose un résumé des normes d'essais publiées utilisées pour déterminer la propagation de flammes en surface des produits électrotechniques ou des matériaux dont ils sont constitués. Elle représente l'état actuel de l'art des méthodes d'essai et, le cas échéant, elle comprend des observations particulières sur leur pertinence et leur utilisation. La liste des méthodes d'essai ne doit pas être considérée comme exhaustive, et les méthodes d'essai qui n'ayant pas été élaborées par le CE 89 de la CEI ne doivent pas être considérées comme étant entérinées par le CE 89 de la CEI, sauf si cela est spécifiquement stipulé. Ce résumé ne peut pas se substituer aux normes publiées, qui sont les seuls documents de référence valables. Elle a le statut d'une publication fondamentale de sécurité, conformément au Guide CEI 104 et au Guide ISO/CEI 51. Mots-clés: risques du feu, propagation en surface, flammes

Preskušanje požarne ogroženosti - 9-2. del: Površinsko širjenje plamena - Pregled in primernost preskusnih metod (IEC 60695-9-2:2014)

Standard EN-IEC 60695-9-2 predstavlja pregled objavljenih preskusnih metod, ki se uporabljajo za določevanje širjenja plamena po površini za elektrotehnične proizvode ali materiale, iz katerih so izdelani. Predstavlja trenutno najbolj izpopolnjene testne metode in vsebuje dodatna opažanja glede njihove primernosti in uporabe, če so na voljo. Seznam preskusnih metod ni popoln in preskusnih metod, ki jih ni razvil IEC T89, slednji ne podpira, razen če je navedeno drugače. Ta pregled se ne sme uporabljati namesto objavljenih standardov, ki so edini veljavni referenčni dokumenti. Ta osnovna varnostna publikacija je namenjena tehničnim odborom za pripravo standardov v skladu z načeli vodil IEC Guide 104 in ISO/IEC Guide 51. Ena od odgovornosti tehničnih odborov je, da med pripravo publikacij uporabljajo osnovne varnostne publikacije, kadar je to primerno. Zahteve, preskusne metode ali preskusni pogoji iz te osnovne varnostne publikacije se ne uporabljajo, razen če so izrecno navedeni ali zajeti v ustrezne publikacije.

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 60695-9-2 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 89: Fire
hazard testing.
It has the status of a basic safety publication in accordance with IEC Guide 104 and
ISO/IEC Guide 51.
This first edition cancels and replaces the second edition of IEC TS 60695-9-2 published in
2005. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
