Bilaga 2Brandskyddskrav (engelsk version)1. Elektriska och elektroniska produkterAn overview of common international standards and regulations for electric and electronicdevicesUL 94 – Test for flammability of plastic materials for parts in devices andappliancesOne of the most important tests for polymers is the UL 94 flammability test. It containsprocedures for testing materials in horizontal position (UL 94 HB) and in vertical position(UL 94 V-0, V-1 and V-2). UL94 is described in detail in appendix 2.UL 746A - Polymeric Materials - Short-Term Property EvaluationsInclude following tests, which means to determine the resistance to ignition of polymericmaterials. Hot Wire Ignition (HWI), High-Current Arc Ignition (HAI), High Voltage ArcResistance to Ignition (HVTR), Glow-Wire Ignitability Test (GWIT, GWFI)IEC 695-2-1/0 – Fire hazard testing: Glow-wire flammability test methods –generalThis glow-wire test simulate the effect of thermal stresses which may be produced by heatsources such as glowing elements or overloaded resistors, for short periods, in order toassess the fire hazard by a simulation technique.IEC 695-2-1/1 – Fire hazard testing: Glow-wire end-product test and guidanceThis method specifies the details of the glow-wire test when applied to end products forfire hazard testing.IEC 695-2-1/2 – Fire hazard testing: Glow-wire flammability test on materialsThis method is applied to specimens of solid electrical insulating materials or other solidcombustible materials for flammability testing.IEC 695-2-1/3 – Fire hazard testing: Glow-wire ignitability test on materialsThis method is applied to specimens of solid electrical insulating materials or other solidcombustible materials for ignitability testing.IEC 332 -1 Test on a single vertical insulated wire or cableIEC 332 -2 Test on a single vertical insulated wire or cableIEC 332 -3 Test on bunched wires or cablesUL 910 Test method for fire and smoke characteristics of electrical and optical fiber cables used inair handling spacesUL 1581 Reference standard for electrical wires, cables, and flexible cords120
