29、idance FOREWORD 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization
30、 in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entr
31、usted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the Intern
32、ational Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations. 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since e
33、ach technical committee has representation from all interested IEC National Committees. 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of
34、IEC Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any misinterpretation by any end user. 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications transparently to the maximum extent possible in t
35、heir national and regional publications. Any divergence between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter. 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity asses
36、sment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any services carried out by independent certification bodies. 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication. 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, emplo
37、yees, servants or agents including individual experts and members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and expenses arising out of the
38、 publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications. 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is indispensable for the correct application of this publication. 9) Attention is drawn to the p
39、ossibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. International Standard IEC 60695-8-1 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 89: Fire hazard testing. This third edi
40、tion cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2008. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) a modified Introduction; b) reference to IEC 60695-1-12; c) updated normative refe
41、rences; d) revised terms and definitions; e) new text in 4.2.2, 4.2.3, 6.1 and 6.4, including several mandatory statements; f) mandatory statements in a new Subclause 6.5. BS EN 60695-8-1:2017IEC 60695-8-1:2016 IEC 2016 5 The text of this standard is based on the following documents: FDIS Report on
42、voting 89/1342/FDIS 89/1348/RVD Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on voting indicated in the above table. This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. It has the status of a basic safety publication in
43、accordance with IEC Guide 104 and ISO/IEC Guide 51. This standard is to be used in conjunction with IEC 60695-8-2. A list of all the parts in the IEC 60695 series, under the general title Fire hazard testing, can be found on the IEC website. IEC 60695-8 consists of the following parts: Part 8-1: Hea
44、t release General guidance Part 8-2: Heat release Summary of test methods The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until the stability date indicated on the IEC website under “http:/webstore.iec.ch“ in the data related to the specific publication. At this
45、 date, the publication will be reconfirmed, withdrawn, replaced by a revised edition, or amended. BS EN 60695-8-1:2017 6 IEC 60695-8-1:2016 IEC 2016 INTRODUCTION In the design of any electrotechnical product, the risk of fire and the potential hazards associated with fire need to be considered. In t
46、his respect the objective of component, circuit and equipment design as well as the choice of materials is to reduce the risk of fire to a tolerable level even in the event of reasonably foreseeable (mis)use, malfunction or failure. IEC 60695-1-10 11provides guidance on how this is to be accomplishe
47、d. Fires involving electrotechnical products can be initiated from external non-electrical sources. Considerations of this nature are dealt with in an overall risk assessment. The aim of the IEC 60695 series of standards is to save lives and property by reducing the number of fires or reducing the c
48、onsequences of the fire. This can be accomplished by: trying to prevent ignition caused by an electrically energised component part and, in the event of ignition, to confine any resulting fire within the bounds of the enclosure of the electrotechnical product; trying to minimise flame spread beyond
49、the products enclosure and to minimise the harmful effects of fire effluents including heat, smoke, and toxic or corrosive combustion products. Fires are responsible for creating hazards to life and property as a result of the generation of heat (thermal hazard), toxic and/or corrosive compounds and 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 measurem
