TESTS ON ELECTRIC AND OPTICAL FIBRE CABLES
UNDER FIRE CONDITIONS –
Part 3-10: Test for vertical flame spread of vertically-mounted bunched
wires or cables – Apparatus
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 provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
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 60332-3-10 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.
IEC 60332-3-10 forms one of a series of publications dealing with tests on electric cables
under fire conditions; the series supersedes IEC 60332-3 published in 1992. The parts of the
series are described in the introduction.
All pre-existing categories of test are retained and updated. A new category (category D) has
been added to cater for testing at very low non-metallic volumes.

This consolidated version of IEC 60332-3-10 consists of the first edition (2000) [documents
20/402/FDIS and 20/426/RVD] and its amendment 1 (2008) [documents 20/933/CDV and
20/982A/RVC].
The technical content is therefore identical to the base edition and its amendment and has
been prepared for user convenience.
It bears the edition number 1.1.
A vertical line in the margin shows where the base publication has been modified by
amendment 1.
Annexes A and B are for information only.
The committee has decided that the contents of the base publication and its amendments will
remain unchanged until the maintenance result 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
Parts 1 and 2 of IEC 60332 specify methods of test for flame spread characteristics for a single
vertical insulated wire or cable. It cannot be assumed that, because a wire or cable meets the
requirements of parts 1 and 2, a vertical bunch of similar cables or wires will behave in a
similar manner. This is because flame spread along a vertical bunch of cables depends on a
number of features, such as
a) the volume of combustible material exposed to the fire and to any flame which may be
produced by the combustion of the cables;
b) the geometrical configuration of the cables and their relationship to an enclosure;
c) the temperature at which it is possible to ignite the gases emitted from the cables;
d) the quantity of combustible gas released from the cables for a given temperature rise;
e) the volume of air passing through the cable installation;
f) the construction of the cable, for example armoured or unarmoured, multi- or single-core.
All of the foregoing assume that the cables are able to be ignited when involved in an external
fire.
Part 3 of IEC 60332 gives details of a test where a number of cables are bunched together to
form various test sample installations. For easier use and differentiation of various test
categories, the parts are designated as follows:
Part 3-10: Apparatus
Part 3-21: Category A F/R
Part 3-22: Category A
Part 3-23: Category B
Part 3-24: Category C
Part 3-25: Category D
Parts from 3-21 onwards define the various categories and the relevant procedures. The
categories are distinguished by test duration, the volume of non-metallic material of the test
sample and the method of mounting the sample for the test. In all categories, cables having at
2
are tested in a spaced
least one conductor of cross-sectional area greater than 35 mm
2
configuration, whereas cables of conductor cross-sectional area of 35 mm or smaller are
tested in a touching configuration.
The categories are not necessarily related to different safety levels in actual cable installations.
The actual installed configuration of the cables may be a major determinant in the level of
flame spread occurring in an actual fire.
The method of mounting described in category A F/R (part 3-21) is intended for special cable
designs used in particular installations.
Categories A, B, C and D (parts 3-22 to 3-25 respectively) are for general use where different
non-metallic volumes are applicable.
