Fire hazard testing - Part 7-2: Toxicity of fire effluent - Summary and relevance of test methods
Also Known As:
IEC 60695-7-2:2011 is a standard that provides a summary and relevance of test methods used for assessing the toxicity of fire effluent. It includes an overview of the test methods commonly used to measure the acute toxic potency and other toxic properties of fire effluent. The standard also discusses the relevance of these test methods to real fire scenarios and provides recommendations on their appropriate use.
The purpose of this standard is to guide fire hazard assessment and fire safety engineering by identifying the tests that provide toxic potency data that are most relevant to real fire situations. It also aims to help ensure consistency and accuracy in the evaluation of fire effluent toxicity.
The 2011 edition of IEC 60695-7-2 replaces the earlier version published in 2002. It has undergone technical revisions and includes editorial changes, revisions to terms and definitions, as well as modifications to data on repeatability and reproducibility, and the relevance of test data. The updated edition also introduces new tables, figures, and test methods from ISO and EN standards.
