IEC 60695-2-10 Fire Hazard, Part 2-10: Glowing Hot Wire, Glow Wire Apparatus Test Standard

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance service within the scope of IEC 60695-2-10 standard. IEC 60695-2-10 specifies glow wire apparatus and common test procedure for simulating for short periods the effects of thermal stresses that can be produced by heat sources such as glowing elements or overloaded resistors for assessing fire.

IEC 60695-2-10 Fire Hazard, Part 2-10: Glowing Hot Wire, Glow Wire Apparatus Test Standard

The test procedure described in this standard is a common test procedure intended for small scale tests in which a standardized electrically heated wire is used as an ignition source.

It is a common part of testing procedures applied to final products and solid electrical insulating materials or other solid combustible materials. A detailed description of each specific test procedure is given in the relevant standards IEC 60695-2-11, IEC 60695-2-12 and IEC 60695-2-13.

The secondary objectives of this standard include minimizing any flame spreading outside the enclosure of the product and minimizing the harmful effects of fire waste such as heat, smoke, toxicity or corrosiveness.

Fires involving electrotechnical products can also be started from external sources other than electricity. Issues of this nature should be addressed in the overall fire risk assessment.
