IEC 60695-2-12 Fire Hazard Test - Part 2-12: Glowing - Hot Wire Based Test Methods - Glowing Wire Flammability Index (GWFI) Test Method for Materials

EUROLAB, together with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of IEC 60695-2-12 testing. IEC 60695-2-12 specifies the details of glow wire testing to be applied to test samples of solid electrical insulating materials or other solid materials for flammability testing to determine the glow wire flammability index (GWFI).

The GWFI is the highest temperature determined during this standard procedure where the material under test does not ignite or, if ignited, extinguishes within 30 seconds after the glow wire is removed and is not completely consumed; and if molten drops form, it will not ignite the dressing. This test method is a material test performed on a set of standard test specimens.

The data obtained together with the data from the glow wire ignition temperature (GWIT) test method for materials, IEC 60695-2-13, then a preselection in accordance with IEC 60695-2-11 to evaluate the ability of materials to meet the requirements of IEC 60695-1-30 can be used in the process.
