What is BS EN 60695-11-10 – Fire hazard testing about?
BS EN 60695-11-10 is a European standard that discusses the test methods to test flames for fire hazard testing. A fire hazard may include a situation that increases the likelihood of a fire or may impede escape in the event a fire occurs. Fire safety is often a component of building safety.
BS EN 60695-11-10 specifies small-scale laboratory test procedures intended to compare the burning behaviour of different materials used in electrotechnical products when vertically or horizontally oriented test bar specimens are exposed to a small flame ignition source with a nominal thermal power of 50 W. These test methods determine either the linear burning rate or the self-extinguishing properties of materials.
