EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of IEC EN 60754-3 testing. This part of IEC EN 60754 specifies the apparatus and procedure for measuring the amount of halogen produced during the combustion of materials from electrical or fiber optic cable structures.
The purpose of the method specified in this standard is to use the chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br), fluorine (F) and iodine (I) content for the analysis of an aqueous solution resulting from the analytical technique of ion chromatography. The heating (burning) procedure in this part of IEC EN 60754 is the same as in EN 60754-2.
The method is designed for materials with individual halogen content not exceeding 10 mg/g. The method specified in this standard is designed for testing the individual components used in the construction of a cable. Use of this method will provide verification of the requirements set forth in the appropriate cable specification for the individual components of a cable structure. For reasons of precision, this method is not recommended for detecting halogen values of the sample taken less than 0,1 mg/g.
IEC EN 60754-1 and IEC EN 60754-2 were developed due to the expressed concerns by cable users about the amount of acid gas released when certain cable insulation, sheathing and other materials are burned, as this acid and such corrosive wastes can cause extensive damage.
This standard provides a method for measuring the low halogen content of gases emitted during the combustion of cables and provides high accuracy in the low concentration range.
