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 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 60332-3-10 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 20:
Electric cables.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2000 and
Amendment 1:2008. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
a) adjustments have been made to the title, and elsewhere, to emphasise the standard is
applicable to optical fibre cables as well as metallic conductor types;
b) details of the way in which cables are mounted on the ladder have been better defined in
order to improve repeatability and reproducibility;

c) the connection of the venturi mixer to the burner is better defined.
It has the status of a group safety publication in accordance with IEC Guide 104.
The text of this International Standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
20/1797/FDIS 20/1814/RVD

Full information on the voting for the approval of this International Standard can be found in
the report on voting indicated in the above table.
This document has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
A list of all parts in the IEC 60332 series, published under the general title Tests on electric
and optical fibre cables under fire conditions, can be found on the IEC website.
Future standards in this series will carry the new general title as cited above. Titles of
existing standards in this series will be updated at the time of the next edition.
The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until
the stability date indicated on the IEC website under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data
related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,

INTRODUCTION
IEC 60332-3-10 is part of a series of publications dealing with tests on electric and optical
fibre cables under fire conditions.
The IEC 60332-1 and IEC 60332-2 series 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 the IEC 60332-1 and IEC 60332-2 series,
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.
The IEC 60332-3 series 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
2
at least one conductor of cross-sectional area greater than 35 mm are tested in a spaced
2
configuration, whereas cables of conductor cross-sectional area of 35 mm or smaller and
optical fibre ca
