IEC 60695-2-10:2013 PDF Download

IEC 60695-2-10:2013 is a standard that specifies the use of a glow-wire apparatus and provides a common test procedure for assessing the fire hazard of materials or products subjected to thermal stresses caused by heat sources like glowing elements or overloaded resistors. The purpose of this standard is to simulate the effects of thermal stress on materials and evaluate their fire hazards through a simulation technique. This test procedure is commonly used for small-scale tests on end products, solid electrical insulating materials, and other solid combustible materials. The standard provides a detailed description of the test procedure and references other standards for specific test procedures.

The second edition of IEC 60695-2-10 was published in 2013 and includes several revisions compared to the previous edition. These revisions include the addition of a table of contents and updates to the introduction to align with other documents by TC89. The scope has been clarified to match other documents in the IEC 60695-2 Glow-wire series. The standard also includes new terms and definitions relevant to this document and updates to the power supply, temperature measuring system, and specified layer description. Additionally, guidance for verifying the temperature measuring system and new guidance on flaming observations have been added.

It's important to note that this standard should be read in conjunction with other related standards, specifically IEC/TS 60695-2-11:2000, IEC 60695-2-12:2010, and IEC 60695-2-13:2010, which provide additional details and specific test procedures for different scenarios.
