24、design of any electrotechnical product, the risk of fire and the potential hazards associated with fire need to be considered. In this respect the objective of component, circuit and equipment design as well as the choice of materials is to reduce to acceptable levels the potential risks of fire eve

25、n in the event of foreseeable abnormal use, malfunction or failure. The future IEC 60695-1-102and IEC 60695-1-112provide guidance on how this is to be accomplished using quantitative and qualitative fire tests. The information gained from properly designed small-scale tests can be used as an aid for

26、 the preselection of proper materials, parts, components or sub-assemblies with regard to the fire hazard evaluation of the final end-product. The best method for testing electrotechnical products with regard to fire hazard is to duplicate exactly the conditions occurring in practice by conducting r

27、eal-scale fire tests. Where this is not practicable, fire hazard testing should be conducted by simulating as closely as possible, the actual conditions of use and of the situation to which a sub-assembly, component, part or material may be exposed in such use. As an outcome of conducting a fire haz

28、ard assessment, an appropriate series of preselection flammability and ignition tests may enable reduced end-product testing. Preselection is the procedure for assessing and choosing materials, components or sub-assemblies for parts of end-products. Preselection has been used for many years to assis

29、t the designer in the selection of candidate materials in the design stage of the end-product. _ 2Under consideration.

30、uidelines 1 Scope This part of IEC 60695 provides guidance for assessing and choosing candidate materials, components or sub-assemblies for making an end-product based upon preselection testing. It describes how preselection provides comparative fire hazard test methods to evaluate the performance o

31、f a test specimen and how preselection can be used in the selection of materials, parts, components and sub-assemblies during the design stage of an end-product. It further describes how standardized test methods may be used as one part in the decision making processes directed to minimize the fire

32、hazards from electrotechnical equipment. It states that one should take into account the desired reaction to fire properties of the end-product, and that one should consider the possible effects of environmental conditions on the behaviour of the end-product. This basic safety publication is intende

33、d for use by technical committees in the preparation of standards in accordance with the principles laid down in IEC Guide 104 and ISO/IEC Guide 51. One of the responsibilities of a technical committee is, wherever applicable, to make use of basic safety publications in the preparation of its public

34、ations. The requirements, test methods or test conditions of this basic safety publication will not apply unless specifically referred to or included in the relevant publications. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For da

35、ted references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

38、695-1-30 IEC:2008 7 3.2 preselection process of assessing and choosing candidate materials, components or sub-assemblies for making an end-product 4 Principles of product design considering preselection One objective of equipment design is to choose individual materials, parts, components and sub-as

39、semblies that reduce the likelihood of fire. The preselection procedure, as well as end-product testing, should take into account all possible ignition sources, even those that may have an influence in the event of foreseeable abnormal use, malfunction or failure. The properties required by individu

40、al materials, parts, components and sub-assemblies are determined by their function and related requirements as part of the final end-product. The selection and magnitude of these properties will be dependent upon the details of reasonable foreseeable use, abuse and environmental exposure. An integr

41、al element of preselection is the acquisition of relevant information regarding a materials characteristics. This knowledge can be acquired from an analysis of data obtained from standardized test methods conducted on specified test specimens. Examples of tests which may be relevant to preselection

42、are contained in Annex A. The preselection process should describe how standardized test methods may be used in decision-making processes to minimize the fire hazards from electrotechnical equipment. The preselection process should take into account the relevant features of the end-product, since th

43、e actual performance of the material may be affected by various factors and constructional characteristics. The fire performance of materials, parts, components and sub-assemblies is affected by a number of factors, some of which are listed in Table 1. Consequently, a preselection procedure to asses

44、s the adequate performance of a final end-product requires test data on materials, parts, components and sub-assemblies and should take into account all of the relevant features (for example, the environmental conditions, association with other items, and possible ignition sources). A decision analy

48、C:2008 5 Advantages and limitations of preselection A preselection process that can meet the principles described in Clause 4 may present certain advantages and limitations: a) Preselection provides a comparative method to evaluate the performance of a test specimen and can be of assistance in the s

49、election of materials, parts, components and sub-assemblies during the design stage. b) The grading and classification obtained from a comprehensive preselection process may be used to specify a basic minimum performance of materials and parts used in product specifications. c) In general, it cannot be assumed that any direct relationship exists between the results of a preselection test and the results of a test made on the final end-product. However, a ma
