EN 60754-1 Gases Released During Combustion of Materials from Cables, Part 1: Standard Test for Determination of Halogen Acid Gas Content

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of EN 60754-1 standard. EN 60754-1 specifies the apparatus and procedure for the determination of the amount of halogen acid gas other than hydrofluoric acid developed during the combustion of compounds based on halogenated polymers and compounds containing halogenated additives from electrical or fiber optic cable structures.

The method specified in this standard is designed for testing individual components used in the construction of a cable. Use of this method will provide verification of the requirements set forth in the appropriate cable specification for the individual components of a cable structure.

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

• Improved definition of safety requirements for gas containment and handling of reagents;
• Introducing the guide for the preparation of test specimens for a more even combustion;
• Improvements in the procedure for establishing the heating regime;
• Improved tolerance and precision expression;
• Description of the blind test procedure;
• Introducing an informative supplement detailing a methodology for determining the halogen acid gas content of a sample representative of a cable structure.
