IEC 332-1 Test on Electrical Cables in Fire Conditions

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of IEC 332-1 standard. This standard, 600 mm long table specimen is fixed vertically in an open front metal cell.

The propane burner is placed at an angle of 45° with the sample cable axis. The test time depends on the cable diameter.

If the sample does not burn up to 50 mm from the hanger at the end of the test period and the flame goes out by itself, the glow extends downwards from the lower edge of the upper support to less than 540 mm, and also the distance from the top of the coal to the beginning of the lower coal is 425 mm. If it does not exceed , the test is considered successful.

The test specimens are attached to a steel ladder. The number of samples should be the number necessary to provide the total nominal volume of non-metallic material in the volume specified in the table per meter of test sample. The steel ladder is placed at the back of the 1 meter wide, 2 meter deep and 4 meter high test chamber. The test chamber is ventilated through the ventilation hole. The test flame is applied on the cable samples for the time specified in the table.
