Overview

EN 60332-1-3:2004/A1:2015 (CLC adoption of IEC 60332-1-3 amendment) specifies a laboratory test for vertical flame propagation of a single insulated wire or cable and defines the procedure for determination of flaming droplets/particles. It is part of the series "Tests on electric and optical fibre cables under fire conditions" and is used to assess whether an insulated conductor or cable produces flaming particles that could propagate fire or ignite surrounding materials.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Scope: Vertical flame-propagation test for a single insulated wire/cable and assessment of flaming droplets/particles produced during burning.
• Sample preparation: Test specimen length is (600 ± 25) mm. Overall diameter is measured at three positions (separated by ≥100 mm) following IEC 60811-203; the average is rounded by the specified rule and used to select flame application time.
• Environmental conditioning: Filter paper used to catch droplets must be conditioned at (23 ± 2) °C for not less than 4 h at (50 ± 10) % relative humidity.
• Test apparatus and positioning:
  • Specimen mounted vertically, secured to horizontal supports so the distance between supports is (550 ± 5) mm; bottom of specimen ≈ 50 mm from enclosure base.
  • Two sheets of filter paper (300 ± 10 mm × 300 ± 10 mm) placed centrally beneath the specimen no more than 3 minutes before test start.
• Ignition and flame application:
  • Burner and ignition source shall comply with IEC 60332-1-1. The burner is set so the tip of the blue cone impinges on the specimen at (475 ± 5) mm from the lower edge of the upper support and at an angle of (45 ± 2)° to vertical.
  • Flame application time is selected from the standard’s table based on the specimen overall diameter; at the end of the specified time the burner is removed and extinguished.
• Stability: If the specimen moves significantly during test, a load (~5 N/mm of conductor area) may be attached to maintain straightness; special rules apply for non-circular cables.

Applications and users

• Cable and wire manufacturers validating fire performance and product design.
• Independent test laboratories performing vertical flame and flaming-droplet assessments.
• Fire safety engineers, product certifiers and regulatory bodies assessing compliance with electrical safety objectives (LVD-related).
• Specifiers in building, transportation, and industrial sectors requiring evidence of low flaming-droplet behaviour for cable selection.

Related standards

• IEC 60332-1-1 (burner and vertical flame-propagation method)
• IEC 60811-203 (measurement of overall dimensions)
• IEC 60695-4 (fire test terminology)
• ISO 13943 (fire safety vocabulary)
