Fire Hazard Testing - Part 2-10: Glowing/Hot-Wire Based Test Methods - Glow-Wire Apparatus and Common Test Procedure
Also Known As:
IEC 60695-2-10:2021 is a standard that specifies the glow-wire apparatus and common test procedure for assessing the fire hazard in electrical and electronic products. The purpose of this standard is to simulate the effects of thermal stresses caused by heat sources such as glowing elements or overloaded resistors. The test is conducted using a standardized electrically heated wire as a source of ignition.
The test procedure described in this standard is intended for small-scale tests and applies to end products as well as solid electrical insulating materials and other solid combustible materials. It provides a common framework for conducting the test and evaluating the results.
The standard includes new terms and definitions related to times and durations, as well as changes to annexes. Annex A, which previously provided guidance for equipment manufacturers and suppliers, has been deleted. Annex A, which covers ignition and flaming observations, has been changed from informative to normative. Additionally, a new Annex C has been added, which visualizes times and durations and provides examples for evaluating specimen behavior.
