60695-2-13 Amend.1 © IEC:2014 – 3 –
INTRODUCTION
Replace the sixth paragraph of the Introduction by the following:
Fires involving electrotechnical products can also be initiated from external non-electrical
sources. Considerations of this nature should be dealt with in the overall fire hazard
assessment.
Replace the seventh paragraph of the Introduction by the following:
This part of IEC 60695 describes a glow-wire ignition temperature test method for materials. It
should be used to measure, describe, and rank the properties of materials in response to heat
caused by contact with an electrically heated wire under controlled laboratory conditions. This
may be useful for the evaluation of materials for use in products that may be exposed to
excess thermal stress such as a fault current flowing through a wire, overloading of
components, and/or bad connections. It should not be used to solely describe or appraise the
fire hazard or fire risk of materials, products, or assemblies under actual fire conditions.
However, results of this test may be used as elements of a fire hazard assessment which
takes into account all of the factors which are pertinent to a particular end use.
1 Scope
Replace item b) of the second paragraph of the Scope by the following:
b) sustained flaming combustion does not occur for a time longer than 5 s for any single
flame event and the specimen is not totally consumed.
