11、60695-8-3:2008 2 INTRODUCTION In the 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 acceptabl
12、e levels the potential risks of fire even in the event of foreseeable abnormal use, malfunction or failure. The future IEC 60695-1-10 11, together with its companion, the future IEC 60695-1-1 2, provide guidance on how this is to be accomplished. The primary aims are to prevent ignition caused by an
13、 electrically energized component part and, in the event of ignition, to confine any resulting fire within the bounds of the enclosure of the electrotechnical product. Secondary aims include the minimization of any flame spread beyond the products enclosure and the minimization of harmful effects of
14、 fire effluents including heat, smoke and toxic or corrosive combustion products. Fires involving electrotechnical products can also be initiated from external non-electrical sources. Considerations of this nature are dealt with in the overall risk assessment. Fires are responsible for creating haza
15、rds to life and property as a result of the generation of heat (thermal hazard), the production of toxic and/or corrosive compounds, and the obscuration of vision due to smoke. Fire risk increases as the heat released increases, possibly leading to a flash-over fire. One of the most important measur
16、ements in fire testing is the measurement of heat release, and it is used as an important factor in the determination of fire hazard; it is also used as one of the parameters in fire safety engineering calculations. The measurement and use of heat release data, together with other fire test data, ca
17、n be used to reduce the likelihood of (or the effects of) fire, even in the event of foreseeable abnormal use, malfunction or failure of electrotechnical products. When a material is heated by some external source, fire effluent can be generated and can form a mixture with air which can ignite and i
18、nitiate a fire. Some of the heat released in the process is carried away by the fire effluent-air mixture, some is radiatively lost, and some is transferred back to the material, to generate further pyrolysis products, thus continuing the process. Heat may also be transferred to other nearby product
19、s, which may burn and then release additional heat and fire effluent. The rate at which thermal energy is released in a fire is defined as the heat release rate. Heat release rate is important because of its influence on flame spread and on the initiation of secondary fires. Other characteristics ar
20、e also important, such as ignitability, flame spread and the side-effects of the fire (see the IEC 60695 series). This technical specification, is based on the use of the cone calorimeter which is an instrument which measures heat release rate as well as other useful fire hazard parameters such as s
21、moke production, ignition time and mass loss. The need for heat release data from the combustion of insulating liquids is mentioned in IEC 60695-1-40 3. This technical specification provides a method for measuring the heat release from such materials and is also applicable to other combustible liqui
22、ds. Guidance on the use of the cone calorimeter is given in ISO 5660-3 4 and in IEC 60695-8-2 5. _ 1Figures in square brackets refer to the bibliography.

23、 IEC 60695-8-3, which is a technical specification, specifies quantitative test methods for determining the heat release from the combustion of insulating liquids of electrotechnical products when exposed to a defined heat flux with spark ignition. Smoke production, ignition times and mass loss are
24、also measured. This technical specification may also be applicable to other liquid test specimens. This technical specification is intended for use by technical committees in the preparation of standards in accordance with the principles laid down in IEC Guide 104 and in ISO/IEC Guide 51. One of the
25、 responsibilities of a technical committee is, wherever applicable, to make use of basic safety publications in the preparation of its publications. The requirements, test methods or test conditions of this basic safety publication will not apply unless specifically referred to or included in the re
26、levant publications.
