IEC/EN 60695-11-10 Fire Hazard Test - Part 11-10: Test Flames - 50W Horizontal and Vertical Flame Test Methods

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of IEC/EN 60695-11-10 standard. The IEC/EN 60695-11-10 standard, prepared and published by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), specifies small-scale laboratory test procedures aimed at comparing combustion. It checks the behavior of different materials used in electrotechnical products when vertically or horizontally oriented test strip samples are exposed to a small flame ignition source with a rated thermal power of 50 W.

These test methods determine the linear burning rate or self-extinguishing properties of materials. These test methods are applicable to solid and cellular materials with an apparent density greater than 845 kg/m³, specified in accordance with ISO 250.

Two test methods are described. Method A is a horizontal burning test and is intended to determine the linear burning rate of materials under certain test conditions. Method B is a vertical combustion test and is intended to determine whether materials are self-extinguishing under certain test conditions.

ISO 9772-1 defines a test method for determining the combustion properties to be used for materials with an apparent density of 250 kg/m³ or less. ISO 9773 describes a test method for determining the combustion behavior to be used for materials that are deformed due to their thinness or that burn to the grip, using Method B of this standard.

The described test methods provide classifications that can be used for quality assurance, pre-selection of component materials of products, or to justify the required minimum flammability classification of materials used in final products.

This essential safety publication is intended for use by technical committees in the preparation of standards in accordance with the principles set out in IEC Guide 104 and ISO/IEC Guide 51.

One of the responsibilities of a technical committee is to use key security publications in the preparation of their publications, wherever appropriate. The requirements, test methods or test conditions in this core safety publication will not apply unless specifically referenced or included in the relevant publications.
