Two methods of producing a test flame are described:

  • Method A uses methane.
  • Method C may use methane or propane.

One of the responsibilities of a technical committee is to leverage key security publications in the preparation of their publications, where applicable. The requirements, test methods or test conditions of this essential safety publication will not apply unless specifically referred to or included in the relevant publications.

The best method of testing electrotechnical products for fire hazard is to exactly replicate the conditions that occur in practice. In most cases, this is not possible. Accordingly, for practical reasons, testing of electrotechnical products for fire hazard is best accomplished by simulating as closely as possible the real effects that occur in practice.

This international standard provides a description of the apparatus required to produce one of two 500 W test flames and also provides a description of a calibration procedure to check that the produced test flame meets the given requirements. Guidance on verification tests for test flames is given in IEC EN 60695-11-40.
