TEST ON GASES EVOLVED DURING
COMBUSTION OF MATERIALS FROM CABLES –

Part 1: Determination of the halogen acid gas content


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 60754-1 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.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition, published in 1994, and constitutes
a technical revision.
The significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition are as follows:
– improved definition of safety requirements relating to capture of gases and use of
reagents;
– introduction of guidance on preparation of test specimens for a more even combustion;
– improvements to the procedure for establishing the heating regime;
– improved expression of tolerances and precision;

– definition of the procedure for the blank test;
– introduction of an informative annex giving details of a methodology for the determination
of the halogen acid gas content of a sample representative of a cable construction.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
20/1266/FDIS 20/1276/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.
A list of all the parts in the IEC 60754 series, published under the general title Test on gases
evolved during combustion of materials from cables, can be found on the IEC website.
The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until
the stability date indicated on the IEC web site under "http://webstore.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.

INTRODUCTION
IEC 60754 consists of the following parts, under the general title Test on gases evolved
during combustion of materials from cables:
– Part 1: Determination of the halogen acid gas content
– Part 2: Determination of acidity (by pH measurement) and conductivity
IEC 60754-1 was developed due to concerns expressed by cable users over the amount of
acid gas which is evolved when some cable insulating, sheathing and other materials are
burned, as this acid can cause extensive damage to electrical and electronic equipment not
involved in the fire itself.
This standard provides a method for determining the amount of acid gases evolved by burning
cable components so that limits can be agreed for cable specifications. As the test is not
carried out on a complete cable test piece, for a hazard assessment the actual material
volumes of the cable components should be taken into consideration.

TEST ON GASES EVOLVED DURING
COMBUSTION OF MATERIALS FROM CABLES –

Part 1: Determination of the halogen acid gas content



1 Scope
This part of IEC 60754 specifies the apparatus and procedure for the determination of the
amount of halogen acid gas, other than hydrofluoric acid, evolved during the combustion of
compounds based on halogenated polymers and compounds containing halogenated
additives taken from electric or optical fibre cable constructions.
NOTE 1 This test method is not able to determine hydrofluoric acid. A suitable method may be found in
IEC 60684-2.
NOTE 2 This test method may be used to test materials to be used in cable manufacture, but a declaration of
cable performance should not be made based on such a test.
NOTE 3 The relevant cable standard should indicate which components of the cable should be tested.
NOTE 4 For the purposes of this standard, the term “electric cable” covers all insulated metallic conductor cables
used for the conveyance of energy or signals.
The method specified in this standard is intended for the testing of individual components
used in a cable construction. The use of this method will enable the verification of
requirements which are stated in the appropriat
