introduction
All electrical and electronic products must be designed with fire risk and potential fire hazard in mind. Design of components, circuits and products, and
The purpose of the screening of materials is to understand potential fires under normal operating conditions and in the case of reasonably foreseeable abnormal use, failure and failure.
The risk is reduced to an acceptable level. How to achieve IEC 60695-1-10 and IEC 60695-1-11 developed by IEC /TC89
This purpose provides guidance.
The primary purpose of IEC 60695-1-10 and IEC 60695-1-11 is to provide guidance for the following actions.
a) prevent the ignition of live parts;
b) If ignition occurs, the fire is confined to the electrical and electronic product enclosure.
The secondary purpose is to minimize the extent to which the flame spreads outside the product, as well as to the combustion stream such as heat, smoke, toxicity and/or corrosive
Harmful effects are minimized.
Fires involving electrical and electronic products may also be caused by non-electric external sources of ignition. This factor should be considered in the overall risk assessment.
This section describes the small-scale test methods performed on materials used in electrical equipment. The 50W test flame is used as the ignition source. This section
The specified classification method can be used for quality assurance, pre-selection of product parts and materials, or to verify the minimum level of combustion required for the materials used in the finished product.
This test method cannot be used alone to describe or assess the risk of fire or fire of materials, products or components under actual fire conditions.
However, the results of this test can be used as an element of a fire risk assessment that takes into account all factors, the fire risk assessment and a specific end use
The risk assessment of the way is related.
This section may involve hazardous materials, operations, and equipment. Its purpose is not to solve all the security issues related to it.

5 The significance of the fire test
5.1 Vertical and horizontal tests
The ignition test of materials under the conditions specified in this section, comparing the relative combustion characteristics of different materials, controlling the manufacturing process or
There is considerable significance in assessing changes in combustion characteristics. The test results obtained by these ignition test methods depend on the shape and take of the sample.
Direction, and the environment around the sample and the ignition.
A striking feature of these ignition test methods is that the sample is placed in a horizontal or vertical position. It can be divided into flammable materials
Sex level.
Note 1. The test results obtained by the horizontal combustion (HB) method are not equivalent to the test results obtained by the vertical combustion (V) method.
Note 2. Test results obtained by these methods (HB and V) and test results obtained by the 5VA and 5VB combustion tests specified in IEC 60695-11-20
It is not equivalent because the thermal power of the test flame in this method is 50W, while the thermal power of the test flame in IEC 60695-11-20 is 500W.
5.2 Limitation of use of test results
The results obtained in accordance with this section should not be used alone to describe or assess the fire hazard of a particular material under actual fire conditions. Measured
Fire hazard needs to consider fuel action, combustion intensity (heat release rate), combustion products and environmental factors, including the nature of the ignition source, the exposed material
Orientation and ventilation conditions.
5.3 Physical properties that can affect combustion characteristics
The combustion characteristics measured by this test method are affected by factors such as the density of the material, the anisotropy, and the thickness of the sample.
5.4 Contracture and deformation
Some samples may shrink or deform in a fire without burning, in which case it is necessary to replenish samples of the same thickness to obtain effective
test results. If the thickness still does not yield valid test results, the specified thickness of the material should not be used in this test method.

Note. For flexible specimens that are flexible and have more than one specimen that is not ignited by fire, ISO 9773 provides a test for determining the flammability rating.
