IEC 60754-2 Test on Gases Released During Combustion of Materials from Cables, Part 2: Determination of Acidity and Conductivity

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance service within the scope of IEC 60754-2 standard. IEC 60754-2 specifies the apparatus and procedure for determining the potential corrosiveness of gases released during combustion of materials from electrical or fiber optic cable structures by measuring the acidity (pH) and conductivity of an aqueous liquid.

IEC 60754-2 Test on Gases Released During Combustion of Materials from Cables, Part 2: Determination of Acidity and Conductivity

The general method specified in this standard is designed for testing individual components used in a cable construction. Formulas are given for calculating a weighted value for a combination of materials contained in a specified cable.

Use of this method will provide verification of the respective requirements for individual components or combined components of a cable structure specified in the appropriate cable specification. Where it is necessary to demonstrate compliance with a specified performance requirement for quality control purposes only, a simplified method for testing individual components is included.

The important technical changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:

  • Improved definition of gas containment safety requirements;
  • Introducing the guide for the preparation of test specimens for more even combustion;
  • Better expression of tolerance and precision;
  • Clarification of conductivity and acidity functions;
  • Improved description of the heating procedure;
  • Greater precision in the definition of test temperature for determination of pH value and conductivity;
  • Correction of formulas for calculating test results.
