Fire Resistant Tests

Specication for performance requirements for cables required to maintain circuit integrity under re conditions.

Residents, owners and regulatory authorities of buildings are now, more than ever, protected by stringent safety requirements. Electrical installations particularly re alarm systems, sprinklers, smoke detection and extraction equipment, emergency lighting and evacuation systems all merge to prevent harm to people and damage to buildings and equipment. The wiring behind the systems prove to be an important factor in preventing res from spreading,and stopping smoke from choking off exit points and allowing a safe rescue. If the wiring is adversely affected, the systems themselves will have no power to provide their own critical functions. Stringent tests including IEC 60331, BS 6387 and SS 299 are performed to ensure that such cables are re-resistant. Resistance to re alone (IEC 60331, BS 6387, SS 299) Category C - Cables are subjected to re at 950C for 3 hours Category B - Cables are subjected to re at 750C for 3 hours Category A - Cables are subjected to re at 650C for 3 hours
* In accordance to IEC 60331, cables are subjected to re at 750C for 3 hours. In not less than twelve hours after the test, the cable shall again be energized, and there shall not be any breakdown.

Resistance to re with water (BS 6387, SS 299) Category W - Cables are subjected to re at 650C for 15 minutes, then at 650C with water spray for a further 15 minutes. Resistance to re with mechanical shock (BS 6387, SS 299) Category X - Cables are subjected to re at 650C with mechanical shock for 15 minutes. Category Y - Cables are subjected to re at 750C with mechanical shock for 15 minutes. Category Z - Cables are subjected to re at 950C with mechanical shock for 15 minutes. During the test, the ame and test voltage shall be applied continuously for a period of 3 hours and no fuse shall be ruptured nor any lamp extinguished.

Flame Propagation Tests


Part 1 : Tests on a single vertical insulated wire or cable Part 3 : Tests on bunched wires and cables under re condition.

Tests on electric cables under re conditions.

Cables form a complex matrix in every building, traversing walls and ceilings to create a web of electrical power. Unfortunately, these cables also act as conduits for re and heat, so cables must be fashioned of inammable and self-extinguishing components. This can be achieved by utilising a protective material containing aluminium hydroxide. In the event of re, the material releases water crystals, and at the same time produces water vapour, which stops the entrance of oxygen and snuffs out the ame. The IEC 60332-3 specication creates a realistic re situation, and species methods for assessing the ame retardance of bunched cables with varying densities of combustible material. This technical report gives details of a test where a number of cables are bunched together to form various test sample installations. 3 test categories to test different amount of combustible material contained in a bundle of cable. IEC 60332-3-22
(Former IEC 332-3A)

- The number of test pieces required to provide a total volume of 7 litres of non-metallic material shall be bunched on a ladder exposed to ame for 40 minutes. - The number of test pieces required to provide a total volume of 3.5 litres of non-metallic material shall be bunched on a ladder and exposed to ame for 40 minutes. - The number of test pieces required to provide a total volume of 1.5 litres of non-metallic material shall be bunched on a ladder and exposed to ame for 20 minutes.

(Former IEC 332-3B)

IEC 60332-3-24
(Former IEC 332-3C)

The cable specimens are placed vertically next to each other and then exposed to the ame for a specied duration. After the burning has ceased, the charred or affected portion should not exceed a height of 2.5 meters.

Acid Gas Emission Tests

Product Catalogue
IEC 60754, BS 6425
Test on gases evolved during combustion of electric cables.

A re can produce corrosive halogen gases, generated by burning PVC or chlorine containing material. HCI gas combines with the water in the eyes, mouth, throat, nose and lungs to form hydrochloric acid, which contributes to loss of co-ordination and orientation. This in turn can lead to a feeling of panic and inability to exit the building, thus increasing potential fatalities by inhalation of carbon monoxide and oxygen depletion. Additional dangers exist in a re situation. Chlorine, bromine or uorine, found in building materials, can combine with the condensation on all metallic materials in the proximity of a re thus resulting in high levels of corrosion which will damage computers and ofce machines. Structural ferrous metals can be so corroded that the building has to be demolished. IEC 60754-2 species a method in determining the degree of acidity of gases evolved during the combustion of materials taken from electric cables by measuring pH and conductivity. This standard requires the weighted pH value of not less than 4.3 when related to 1 litre of water, and the weighted value of conductivity should not exceed 10S/mm.

IEC 61034, BS 7622

Smoke Emission Tests

Measurement of smoke density of electric cables burning under dened conditions.

Smoke hinders re-ghting efforts and prevents safe evacuation from the building. Smoke extraction equipment helps, but low smoke products can stop the problem before it starts. Conventional insulation and sheathing materials such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC) can produce large volumes of smoke when burned, thus contributing to disorientation and smoke inhalation damage. Measuring the density of smoke produced by burning cables is important as it is related to the evacuation of people and accessibility for re ghting. The 3 meter cube test (also known as IEC 61034) measures the amount of smoke created by cables in the event of a re. A one-meter length of cable is placed in a 3m3 enclosure, and exposed to a beam of light through a clear window. This light travels across the enclosure to a photocell connected to recording equipment in the window on the other end. A re is then generated within the container and the minimum light transmission recorded. A minimum light transmission value greater than 60% is acceptable.

ASTM D 2863

Limiting Oxygen Index

Measuring the minimum oxygen concentration to support candle-like combustion of plastics.

Oxygen index (limiting oxygen index) is the most widely used re parameter in the assessment of materials. The index is the minimum concentration of oxygen in an oxygen/nitrogen mixture in which the material will burn. Air contains 21% oxygen and it is often stated that material with an oxygen index greater than 28% will be self-extinguishing. Low Smoke Zero Halogen Flame Retardant material used by Tai Sin is greater than 34%.

Spaced means a clearance between adjacent surfaces of at least one cable diameter (De).

Notes: 1. The factors in the table are applicable to groups of cables all of one size. The value of current derived from application of the appropriate factors is the maximum current to be carried by any of the cables in the group. 2. If, due to known operating conditions, a cable is expected to carry not more than 30% of its grouped rating, it may be ignored for the purpose of obtaining the rating factor for the rest of the group. For example, a group of N loaded cables would normally require a group reduction factor of Cg applied to the tabulated It. However, if M cables in the group carry loads which are not greater than 0.3 Cg x lt amperes, the other cables can be sized by using the group rating factor corresponding to (N-M) cables. 3. When cables having differing conductor operating temperatures are grouped together, the current rating shall be based on the lowest operating temperature of any cable in the group. 4. Where the horizontal clearance between adjacent cables exceeds 2 x De, no correction factor need be applied.
