IEC EN 60695-6-2 Fire Hazard Testing - Part 6-2: Smoke Blackout - Summary of Test Methods and Standard Test for Compliance

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of IEC EN 60695-6-2 testing. IEC EN 60695-6-2 provides a summary of commonly used test methods for the assessment of smoke dimming. Provides a brief summary of static and dynamic test methods commonly used as international standards or national or industry standards. It contains specific observations on electrotechnical products and their materials and fire scenarios and gives advice on their use.

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.

In the design of an electrotechnical product, fire risk and potential fire-related hazards must be considered. In this context, the purpose of component, circuit and equipment design, as well as material selection, is to reduce the risk of fire to a tolerable level, even in the event of reasonably foreseeable (mis)use, malfunction or malfunction.

Fires involving electrotechnical products can also be started from external sources other than electricity. Matters of this nature are addressed in an overall fire hazard assessment.

This section of IEC EN 60695 describes commonly used smoke testing methods to evaluate smoke release from electrotechnical products or materials used in electrotechnical products. Provides guidance to product committees wishing to incorporate test methods for smoke screening into product standards.

Where fire tests have not yet been determined and need to be developed or modified for the specific purpose of an IEC technical committee, this should be done in conjunction with the relevant IEC technical committee.

The amount and rate of smoke released from a particular material or product is not an inherent property of that material or product, but critically depends on the conditions in which that material or product is burned. Decomposition temperature, amount of ventilation and fuel composition are the main variables that affect the composition of the fire effluent and therefore the amount of smoke and the rate of smoke production.
