15、WORD 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 in the ele

16、ctrical 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 entrusted to te

17、chnical 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 International Org

18、anization 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 each technic

19、al 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 IEC Publica

20、tions 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 their nation

21、al 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 provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any equipment declared to be

22、in conformity with an IEC Publication. 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication. 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and members of its technical committees and IEC National Committee

23、s 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 publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications. 8) Attention is drawn to the

24、 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 possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent rights. IEC shall not be held

25、responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. International Standard IEC 60332-3-22 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 20: Electric cables. It has the status of a group safety publication in accordance with IEC Guide 104. IEC 60332-3-22 forms one of a series of publications de

26、aling with tests on electric cables under fire conditions; the series supersedes IEC 60332-3 published in 1992. The parts of the series are described in the introduction. All pre-existing categories of test are retained and updated. A new category (category D) has been added to cater for testing at

27、very low non-metallic volumes.

28、8/RVD and its amendment 1 (2008) documents 20/934/CDV and 20/983A/RVC. The technical content is therefore identical to the base edition and its amendment and has been prepared for user convenience. It bears the edition number 1.1. A vertical line in the margin shows where the base publication has be

29、en modified by amendment 1. Annex A forms an integral part of this standard. Annex B is for information only. The committee has decided that the contents of the base publication and its amendments will remain unchanged until the maintenance result date indicated on the IEC web site under “http:/webs

30、tore.iec.ch“ in the data related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be reconfirmed, withdrawn, replaced by a revised edition, or amended.

31、-22 IEC:2000+A1:2008 5 INTRODUCTION Parts 1 and 2 of IEC 60332 specify methods of test for flame spread characteristics for a single vertical insulated wire or cable. It cannot be assumed that, because a cable or wire meets the requirements of parts 1 and 2, a vertical bunch of similar cables or wir

32、es will behave in a similar manner. This is because flame spread along a vertical bunch of cables depends on a number of features, such as a) the volume of combustible material exposed to the fire and to any flame which may be produced by the combustion of the cables; b) the geometrical configuratio

33、n of the cables and their relationship to an enclosure; c) the temperature at which it is possible to ignite the gases emitted from the cables; d) the quantity of combustible gas released from the cables for a given temperature rise; e) the volume of air passing through the cable installation; f) th

34、e construction of the cable, for example armoured or unarmoured, multi- or single-core. All of the foregoing assume that the cables are able to be ignited when involved in an external fire. Part 3 of IEC 60332 gives details of a test where a number of cables are bunched together to form various test

35、 sample installations. For easier use and differentiation of the various test categories, the parts are designated as follows: Part 3-10: Apparatus Part 3-21: Category A F/R Part 3-22: Category A Part 3-23: Category B Part 3-24: Category C Part 3-25: Category D Parts from 3-21 onwards define the var

36、ious categories and the relevant procedures. The categories are distinguished by test duration, the volume of non-metallic material of the test sample and the method of mounting the sample for the test. In all categories, cables having at least one conductor of cross-sectional area greater than 35 m

37、m are tested in a spaced configuration, whereas cables of conductor cross-sectional area of 35 mm2or smaller and optical cables are tested in a touching configuration. The categories are not necessarily related to different safety levels in actual cable installations. The actual installed configurat

38、ion of the cables may be a major determinant in the level of flame spread occurring in an actual fire. The method of mounting described as category A F/R (part 3-21) is intended for special cable designs used in particular installations. Categories A, B, C and D (parts 3-22 to 3-25 respectively) are

39、 for general use where different non-metallic volumes are applicable.

40、2: Test for vertical flame spread of vertically-mounted bunched wires or cables Category A 1 Scope The series of International Standards covered by Parts 3-10, 3-21, 3-22, 3-23, 3-24 and 3-25 of IEC 60332 specifies methods of test for the assessment of vertical flame spread of vertically-mounted bun

41、ched wires or cables, electrical or optical, under defined conditions. NOTE For the purpose of this standard the term “electric wire or cable“ covers all insulated metallic conductor cables used for the conveyance of energy or signals. The test is intended for type approval testing. The requirements

42、 for the selection of cables for testing are given in annex A. The flame spread is measured as the extent of damage of the cable sample. This procedure may be used to demonstrate the cables ability to limit flame spread. This part of IEC 60332 covers category A and relates to cables installed on the

43、 test ladder to achieve a nominal total volume of non-metallic material of 7 l/m of test sample. The flame application time is 40 min. The method of mounting uses the front of the ladder, a standard or wide ladder being used for cables having a conductor cross-section greater than 35 mm according to

44、 the number of test pieces required, and a standard ladder for conductor cross-sections 35 mm and smaller. The category is intended for general use where high volumes of non-metallic material are required to be evaluated. A recommended performance requirement is given in annex B. 2 Normative referen
