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
