Test on Gases Evolved
During Combustion
This test procedure provides information about whether
the insulation material of the cable sheath produces
corrosive gases in the event of a fire.
Halogen components or other materials in small
quantities can be easily identified with this test, thanks
to the significant changes in pH and conductivity.
The conductivity is < 10 mS/mm.
Standards:
- IEC 60754-1 and IEC 60754-2
Test for Vertical Flame Propagation
(Single Insulated Wire or Cable)
This test method evaluates the burning behavior of a
cable sample (length: 60 cm).
The flame must self-extinguish, and burn damage
should not reach a defined measurement of the cable
sample.
Standards:
- IEC 60332-1-2
- EN 60332-1-2
Test for Vertical Flame Spread
(Bunched Wires or Cables)
This test method assesses the fire propagation of a cable
bundle (length: 360 cm).
The flames must self-extinguish, and burn damage should
not exceed a defined height.
Standards:
- IEC 60332-3-22 up to 25 Cat A-D
- EN 60332-3-22 up to 25 Cat. A-D

IEC 60331-11/-21-23-25
Circuit integrity test at 750 degrees for a minimum
period of 90 minutes. The pass criteria involve
maintaining circuit integrity, with no occurrence of
short circuits or breakages.
EN 50200
A circuit integrity test is conducted at 830 degrees with
mechanical shock every 5 minutes.
PH30: 30-minute test
PH60: 60-minute test
PH90: 90-minute test
PH120: 120-minute test
EN 50200 Annex E: This test is carried out, followed by
an 850-degree flame for 15 minutes with fire and
mechanical impact, followed by another 15 minutes with
mechanical impact and water spray.
BS 6387 CWZ
Tests are conducted under different scenarios to
evaluate the cable's performance.
Category C Test: The cable is exposed to fire for 3
hours at a flame temperature of 950 degrees.
Category W Test: The cable is exposed to fire with
water spray, involving 15 minutes of fire at 650
degrees followed by 15 minutes of both fire and
water spray.
Category Z Test: The cable is exposed to fire and
mechanical shock, with a flame temperature of 950
degrees and mechanical shock for 15 minutes.
Pg. 4
Measurement of Smoke Density
This test assesses smoke development during the
burning of the cable or the impairment of visibility
caused by burning cables.
The reduction in light transparency is measured in a
standard chamber.
Standards:
- IEC 61034-1 and IEC 61034-2
- EN 61034-1 and EN 61034-2
UL 1666 with UL1424 for FPLR
Two sets of specimens, each representing a cable
construction, are to be tested. Each set should
consist of multiple 5.33 m specimen lengths of cable
fixed vertically in a 2.44 m long, 5.80 m high chamber.
The test flame is applied to the cable specimens for
30 minutes. The flame propagation height of each set
of cable specimens shall not equal or exceed 3.66 m.
The temperature of any thermocouple shall not
exceed 454.4°C.
BS 8434-2 Enhanced
The flame temperature is set at 930 degrees for 120 minutes.
The first 60 minutes involve exposure to flame and mechanical
impact, followed by an additional 60 minutes with flame,
mechanical impact, and water spray.
