Fire Hazard Testing - Part 2-12: Glowing/Hot-Wire Based Test Methods - Glow-Wire Flammability Index (GWFI) Test Method for Materials
Also Known As:
The IEC 60695-2-12:2010+AMD1:2014 CSV standard, entitled "Fire Hazard Testing - Part 2-12: Glowing/Hot-Wire Based Test Methods - Glow-Wire Flammability Index (GWFI) Test Method for Materials," specifies the procedure for conducting the glow-wire test on solid electrical insulating materials or other solid materials to determine their flammability and the glow-wire flammability index (GWFI). The GWFI is the highest temperature at which the tested material does not ignite or, if it does, extinguishes within 30 seconds after the removal of the glow-wire, without being totally consumed and without igniting any molten drips.
The standard includes changes in the title, scope, definitions, and key clauses compared to the previous edition. It introduces an introduction section, clarifies the scope, and expands the normative references. The conditioning process for test materials is clarified, and the initial measurements clause is removed. The test procedures and observation/measurement sections are expanded, and there are clarifications in the evaluation of test results and the test report.
This standard should be read in conjunction with IEC 60695-2-10:2000 and IEC 60695-2-13:2010. The consolidated version includes the second edition from 2010 and its amendment 1 from 2014, so there is no need to order the amendment separately.
