Standards Development
This part of IEC 60331 specifies the test apparatus and procedure and gives the performance requirements, including heat rate and temperature curve for power cables of rated voltage from 250 V up to and including 18/30 kV which are required to maintain circuit integrity when subject to Hydro Carbon Fire / Pool fire.
Requirements are stated for an identification that may optionally be marked on the cable to signify compliance with this document.
CAUTION The test given in this document may involve the use of dangerous voltages and temperatures. Suitable precautions should be taken against the risk of shock, burning, fire and explosion that may be involved, and against any noxious fumes that may be produced.
Decision 40. of 20/1896/DL.
The fire test defined in annex A of IEC 61892-4 needs to transfer to the IEC 60331 series as a standard giving TC 20 WG 18 control of this, specifically working with fire tests of cables.
