Cable management systems - Test method for content of halogens (IEC 63355:2022)

This document specifies a method for the determination of the content of halogens in cable
management system (CMS) products or system components made completely or partly of
combustible material(s). The determination is made by combustion and subsequent analysis of
the combustion product by ion chromatography. This document specifies how CMS products or
system components can be declared as halogen-free.
This document is for environmental performance purposes only.
Compliance with this document does not imply the absence of toxicity, corrosivity or opacity of
produced smoke, or other reaction to fire characteristics. If any of these characteristics are to
be evaluated, the appropriate standards can be used.
The detection limit of this test method is typically 0,025 g of halogen per kg (0,002 5 %).
Halides insoluble in aqueous solution present in the original sample or produced during the
combustion step are not determined by this method.

Systèmes de gestion de câblage - Méthode d'essai relative à la teneur en halogènes (IEC 63355:2022)

L'IEC 63355:2022 spécifie une méthode de détermination de la teneur en halogènes dans les composants des systèmes ou les produits des systèmes de câblage (CMS, Cable Management System) fabriqués partiellement ou complètement en matériau(x) combustible(s). La détermination est réalisée par combustion et analyse ultérieure du produit de combustion par chromatographie ionique. Le présent document spécifie la façon dont les composants des systèmes ou les produits des CMS peuvent être déclarés sans halogène.

Sistemi za urejanje pokabljenja - Metoda za preskušanje vsebnosti halogenov (IEC 63355:2022)

Ta dokument določa metodo za določanje vsebnosti halogenov v izdelkih ali sestavnih delih sistemov za urejanje pokablenja (CMS), ki so v celoti ali delno izdelani iz gorljivih materialov. Določanje se izvede na podlagi zgorevanja in naknadne analize produktov zgorevanja z ionsko kromatografijo. Ta dokument določa, na podlagi česa je za izdelke ali sestavne dele sistemov CMS mogoče navesti, da so brez halogenov. Ta dokument je namenjen izključno za uporabo na področju ravnanja z okoljem. Skladnost s tem dokumentom ne pomeni odsotnosti strupenosti, korozivnosti ali motnosti proizvedenega dima ali drugih lastnosti odziva na ogenj. Če je treba ovrednotiti katero koli od teh lastnosti, se lahko uporabijo primerni standardi. Meje zaznavanja pri tej preskusni metodi so običajno 0,025 g halogena na kg (0,0025 %). Ta metoda ne določa halidov, ki niso topni v vodni raztopini in so prisotni v prvotnem vzorcu ali nastanejo v fazi zgorevanja.

CABLE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS –
TEST METHOD FOR CONTENT OF HALOGENS

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.
IEC 63355 has been prepared by subcommittee 23A: Cable management systems, of IEC
technical committee 23: Electrical accessories. It is an International Standard.

CABLE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS –
TEST METHOD FOR CONTENT OF HALOGENS



1 Scope
This document specifies a method for the determination of the content of halogens in cable
management system (CMS) products or system components made completely or partly of
combustible material(s). The determination is made by combustion and subsequent analysis of
the combustion product by ion chromatography. This document specifies how CMS products or
system components can be declared as halogen-free.
This document is for environmental performance purposes only.
Compliance with this document does not imply the absence of toxicity, corrosivity or opacity of
produced smoke, or other reaction to fire characteristics. If any of these characteristics are to
be evaluated, the appropriate standards can be used.
The detection limit of this test method is typically 0,025 g of halogen per kg (0,002 5 %).
Halides insoluble in aqueous solution present in the original sample or produced during the
combustion step are not determined by this method.
2 Normative references
The following documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some or all of their content
constitutes requirements of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies.
For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any
amendments) applies.

(calorific value)

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following
addresses:
• IEC Electropedia: available at https://www.electropedia.org/
• ISO Online browsing platform: available at https://www.iso.org/obp
3.1
halogen content
content of fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine as organic and inorganic compounds that can
be converted to halides (fluoride, chloride, bromide, iodide) by combustion and then absorbed
or dissolved in an aqueous solution
Note 1 to entry: The above definition is valid for this document only and does not strictly comply with the scientific
definition of halogen content.

3.2
combustible, adjective

4 Principle
For the purpose of this document, a material is considered as being non-combustible if its gross
calorific potential is assumed to be lower than 3,0 MJ/kg. In case of doubt ISO 1716 is used to
measure the calorific potential.
Examples of non-combustible materials are:
– uncoated stainless steel,
– steel with metallic coating,
– uncoat
