BS EN IEC 60331-1:2019 - TC

This standard BS EN IEC 60331-1:2019 - TC Tracked Changes. Tests for electric cables under fire conditions. Circuit integrity is classified in these ICS categories:

• 13.220.40 Ignitability and burning behaviour of materials and products
• 29.060.20 Cables

This document EN 60331-1 specifies the test method for cables which are required to maintain circuit integrity when subject to fire and mechanical shock under specified conditions. This document is applicable to cables of rated voltage not exceeding 600 V/1?000 V, including those of rated voltage below 80 V, metallic data and telecom cables and optical fibre cables. It is intended for use when testing cables of greater than 20 mm overall diameter. Although the scope is restricted to cables with rated voltage up to and including 0,6/1,0 kV, the procedure can be used, with the agreement of the manufacturer and the purchaser, for cables with rated voltage up to and including 1,8/3 (3,3) kV, provided that suitable fuses are used.
