IEC60695-11-5 Needle Flame Test Chamber Combustible Materials Fire Hazard Testing Equipment

Overview:

IEC 60695-11-5 specifies a needle-flame test to simulate the effect of a small flame which may result from fault conditions, in order to assess the fire hazard by a simulation technique. The results of this test may be used as elements of a fire hazard assessment which takes into account all of the factors which are pertinent to an assessment of the fire hazard of a particular end use. It is applicable to electrotechnical equipment, its sub-assemblies and components and to solid electrical insulating materials or other combustible materials.

If the test specimen drips molten or having flaming material during the application of the flame, the burner may be tilted up to 45°from the vertical to prevent material from dripping into the burner tube while maintaining an 8mm±1mm spacing between the centre of the top of the burner and the remaining portion of the test specimen, ignoring any strings or molten material.

It is applicable to lighting, low-voltage electrical appliances, household appliances, machine tool electric appliance, electric motor, electric tools, electronic instruments, electrical instruments, electrical connector, such as electrical and electronic equipment and parts, components, including insulation materials, engineering plastic or other solid combustible materials.
