However, except for certain specific cases (e.g. power g
31、enerating stations, mass transit tunnels, computer suites), electrotechnical products are not normally present in sufficient quantities to form the major source of toxic hazard. For example, in domestic dwellings and places of public assembly, electrotechnical products are usually a very minor sourc
32、e of fire effluent compared with, for example, furnishings. It should be noted that the IEC 60695-7 series of publications is subject to the ongoing evolution of fire safety philosophy within ISO/TC 92. The guidance in this international standard is consistent with the principles of fire safety deve
33、loped by ISO TC 92 SC 3 on toxic hazards in fire, as described in ISO 13344, ISO 13571. ISO 16312-1, ISO 16312-2, ISO 19701, ISO 19702 and ISO 19706. General guidance for the fire hazard assessment of electrotechnical products is given in IEC 60695-1-10 and IEC 60695-1-11. In 1989, the following vie
34、ws were expressed in ISO/TR 9122-1. “Small-scale toxic potency tests as we know them today are inappropriate for regulatory purposes. They cannot provide rank orderings of materials with respect to their propensity to produce toxic atmospheres in fires. All currently available tests are limited beca
35、use of their inability to replicate the dynamics of fire growth which determine the time/concentration profiles of the effluent in full-scale fires, and the response of electrotechnical products, not just materials. This is a crucial limitation because the toxic effects of combustion effluent are no
36、w known to depend much more on the rates and conditions of combustion than on the chemical constitution of the burning materials.“ Because of these limitations IEC TC 89 has developed IEC 60695-7-50 and ISO subsequently developed ISO/TS 19700 11. Both these standards use the same apparatus. It is a
37、practical small-scale apparatus which is used to measure toxic potency and which, by virtue of its ability to model defined stages of a fire, yields toxic potency data suitable for use, with appropriate additional data, in a full hazard assessment. Both methods use variations in air flow and tempera
38、ture to give different physical fire models, but the ISO test method additionally uses the equivalence ratio as a key parameter. The evidence from fires and fire casualties, when taken with data from experimental fire and combustion toxicity studies, suggests that chemical species with unusually hig
39、h toxicity are not important (see Clause 7). Carbon monoxide is by far the most significant agent contributing to toxic hazard. Other agents of major significance are hydrogen cyanide, carbon dioxide and irritants. There are also other important, non-toxic, threats to life such as the effects of hea
40、t, radiant energy, depletion of oxygen and smoke obscuration, all of which are discussed in ISO 13571. General guidance on smoke obscuration is provided in IEC 60695-6-1. IEC TC89 recognizes that effective mitigation of toxic hazard from electrotechnical products is best accomplished by tests and re
41、gulations leading to improved resistance to ignition and to reduced rates of fire growth, thus limiting the level of exposure to fire effluent and facilitating escape. _ 1Figures in square brackets refer to the bibliography.

42、city of fire effluent Use and interpretation of test results 1 Scope This part of IEC 60695 concerns laboratory tests used to measure the toxic components of the fire effluent from either electrotechnical products or materials used in electrotechnical products. It provides guidance on the use and in
43、terpretation of results from such tests. It discusses currently available approaches to toxic hazard assessment consistent with the approach of ISO TC 92 SC 3, as set out in ISO 13344, ISO 13571, ISO 16312-1, ISO 16312-2, ISO 19701, ISO 19702 and ISO 19706. It also provides guidance on the use of to
44、xic potency data in fire hazard assessment and on principles which underlie the use of combustibility and toxicological information in fire hazard assessment. The methods described are applicable to data concerning both the incapacitating effects and the lethal effects of fire effluents. This basic
45、safety publication is intended 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
46、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 relevant publications. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the applica
