Fire hazard testing - Part 1-30: Guidance for assessing the fire hazard of electrotechnical products - Preselection testing process - General guidelines
IEC 60695-1-30:2017 provides guidance for assessing and choosing candidate materials, components or sub-assemblies for making an end product based upon preselection testing.
It describes how preselection provides comparative fire hazard test methods to evaluate the performance of a test specimen and how preselection can be used in the selection of materials, parts, components and sub-assemblies during the design stage of an end product. It further describes how standardized test methods may be used as one part in the decision making processes directed to minimize the fire hazards from electrotechnical equipment. It takes into account the desired reaction to fire properties of the end product, and the possible effects of environmental conditions on the behaviour of the end product.
This third edition 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:
- Reference to IEC 60695-1-12;
- Modified Introduction;
- Clause 2: updated and additional normative references;
- Clause 3: updated and additional terms and definitions;
- Clause 4: updated text, with a requirement and normative reference to IEC 60695-1-10, IEC 60695-1-11 and IEC 60695-1-12;
- Clause 5: modified text;
- Annex A: updated references with additions and deletions;
- Annex B: Examples of materials used in attended appliances replaces the previous example of an ITE product and the Bibliographic references updated.
It has the status of a basic safety publication in accordance with IEC Guide 104 and ISO/IEC Guide 51.
This standard is to be used in conjunction with IEC 60695-1-10:2016 and IEC 60695-1-11:2014.
This basic safety publication is intended for use by technical committees in the preparation of standards in accordance with the principles laid down in IEC Guide 104 and ISO/IEC Guide 51.
Essais relatifs aux risques du feu - Partie 1-30: Lignes directrices pour l'évaluation des risques du feu des produits électrotechniques - Processus d'essai de présélection - Lignes directrices générales
IEC 60695-1-30:2017 fournit des lignes directrices pour l’évaluation et le choix des matériaux, composants et sous-ensembles candidats en vue de l’élaboration d’un produit final à partir des essais de présélection.
Elle décrit la manière dont la présélection fournit des méthodes d’essai comparatives sur les dangers d’incendie pour évaluer la tenue au feu d’une éprouvette et la façon dont la présélection peut être utilisée dans la sélection des matériaux, des parties, des composants et des sous-ensembles pendant la phase de conception d'un produit final. De plus, elle décrit la façon dont les méthodes d’essai normalisées peuvent être utilisées en tant que partie intégrante des processus de prise de décision orientés vers une minimisation des dangers d’incendie provenant des matériels électrotechniques. Elle prend en compte la réaction souhaitée aux propriétés au feu du produit final, et les effets éventuels des conditions d’environnement sur le comportement du produit final.
Cette troisième édition annule et remplace la deuxième édition parue en 2008. Cette édition constitue une révision technique.
Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente:
- référence à l’IEC 60695-1-12;
- Modification de l’Introduction;
- Article 2: mise à jour et ajout de références normatives;

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 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 entrusted 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 International 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 each 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 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 their 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
assessment 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, employees, 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 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 possibility 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 60695-1-30 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 89:
