IEC EN 60695-5-1 Fire Hazard Testing - Part 5-1: Corrosion Damage Effects of Fire Wastewater - General Guide

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of IEC EN 60695-5-1 test. This part of IEC EN 60695 provides guidance on:

• General aspects of corrosion damage test methods;
• Measurement methods of corrosion damage;
• Evaluation of test methods;
• Relevance of corrosion damage data to hazard assessment.

The risk of fire must be considered in any electrical circuit. In relation to this risk, circuit and equipment design, selection of components and selection of materials should contribute to reducing the probability of fire, even in the event of foreseeable abnormal use, failure or malfunction. The practical aim should be to prevent ignition from electrical fault, but if ignition and fire occur, control the fire preferably within the confines of the enclosure of the electrotechnical product.

All fire wastes are corrosive to some degree and the level of corrosion potential depends on the nature of the fire, the combination of combustible materials involved in the fire, the nature of the substrate under attack, and the temperature and relative humidity of the environment. where corrosion damage occurs. Fire wastes from electrotechnical products, furniture, construction materials, etc. There is no evidence that it carries a greater risk of corrosion damage than fire waste from other products such as

The performance of electrical and electronic components can be adversely affected by corrosion damage when exposed to fire waste. A wide variety of combinations of small amounts of flue gases, smoke particles, humidity and temperature can provide conditions for electrical component or system failure due to breakage, overheating or short circuit.

Studying corrosion damage requires an interdisciplinary approach that includes chemistry, electricity, physics, mechanical engineering, metallurgy, and electrochemistry. All of the above has been taken into account in the preparation of this part of IEC EN 60695-5.
