IEC/TC 89 - Fire hazard testing
To prepare international standards, technical specifications and technical reports in the areas of: Fire hazard assessment, fire safety engineering and terminology as related to electrotechnical products. Measurement of fire effluent (e.g. smoke, corrosivity, toxic gases and abnormal heat), and reviews of the state of the art of current test methods as related to electrotechnical products. Widely applicable small scale test methods for use in product standards and by manufacturers and regulators. Horizontal safety function: Guidance and test methods for assessing fire hazards of electrotechnical equipment, their parts (including components) and electrical insulating materials. Note: Terms and definitions in the field of fire tests from ISO/IEC 13943 are used wherever appropriate.
Essais relatifs aux risques du feu
Le domaine d'application du CE 89 est de préparer des normes internationales, des spécifications techniques et des rapports techniques dans le domaine : - de l'évaluation des risques de feu, la technique de la sécurité du feu et la terminologie concernant les produits électrotechniques ; - de la mesure des dérivés du feu (par ex. fumée, corrosivité, gaz toxiques et chaleur anormale), et la revue des dernières techniques des méthodes d'essai courantes liées aux produits électrotechniques ; - des méthodes d'essai à petite échelle largement applicables pour usage dans des normes de produits et par des fabricants et des régulateurs. Fonction horizontale de sécurité : Guide et méthodes d'essai pour évaluer les risques du feu des équipements électrotechniques, de leurs parties (y compris les composants) et des matériaux isolants électriques. Note: Les "Termes et définitions" dans le domaine des essais du feu tirés de l'ISO/CEI 13943 sont utilisés lorsque c'est approprié.

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is an independent, non-governmental international organization that develops and publishes international standards. Founded in 1947 and headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, ISO brings together experts from 170+ member countries to share knowledge and develop voluntary, consensus-based standards that support innovation and provide solutions to global challenges.
A Technical Committee (TC) in ISO is a group of experts responsible for developing international standards in a specific technical area. TCs are composed of national member body delegates and work through consensus to create standards that meet global industry needs. Each TC may have subcommittees (SCs) and working groups (WGs) for specialized topics.
