This part of IEC 60695 provides a summary of published test methods that are relevant to the determination of the heat released during fire tests from electrotechnical products or materials from which they are formed. It represents the current state of the art of the test methods and includes special observations on their relevance and use.
The list of test methods is not to be considered exhaustive, and test methods that were not developed by the IEC are not to be considered as endorsed by the IEC unless this is specifically stated.
Heat release data can be used as part of fire hazard assessment and in fire safety engineering, as described in IEC 60695-1-10[1], IEC 60695-1-11[2] and IEC 60695-1-12[3].
