This part of IEC 60332<\/span> <\/span> covers category A F\/R for methods of test for the assessment of vertical flame spread of vertically-mounted bunched wires or cables, under defined conditions.<\/p>\n

This document relates only to power cables of conductor cross-sectional area greater than 35 mm 2<\/sup> installed on the test ladder in a spaced configuration on the front and rear to achieve a nominal total volume of non-metallic material of 7 l\/m of test sample. The flame application time is 40 min. This method of mounting is intended for special cable designs used in particular installations when required in the cable specification. Category A F\/R is not intended for general use.<\/p>\n

The test is intended for type approval testing. The requirements for the selection of cables for testing are given in Annex A<\/span>. The flame spread is measured as the extent of damage of the cable sample. This procedure can be used to demonstrate the cable\u2019s ability to limit flame spread.<\/p>\n

A recommended performance requirement is given in Annex B<\/span>.<\/p>\n

\n NOTE\n <\/div>\n

For the purposes of this document the term “electric wire or cable” covers all insulated metallic conductor cables used for the conveyance of energy or signals.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
