CEI EN 60695-7-3

BILINGUAL

This part of IEC 60695 concerns laboratory tests used to measure
the toxic components of the fire effluent from either
electrotechnical products or materials used in electrotechnical
products. It provides guidance on the use and interpretation of
results from such tests. It discusses currently available
approaches to toxic hazard assessment consistent with the approach
of ISO TC 92 SC 3, as set out in ISO 13344, ISO 13571, ISO 16312-1,
ISO 16312- 2, ISO 19701, ISO 19702 and ISO 19706. It also provides
guidance on the use of toxic potency data in fire hazard assessment
and on principles which underlie the use of combustibility and
toxicological information in fire hazard assessment.

The methods described are applicable to data concerning both the
incapacitating effects and the lethal effects of fire
effluents.

This basic safety publication is intended for use by technical
committees in the preparation of standards in accordance with the
principles laid down in IEC Guide 104 and ISO/IEC Guide 51.

One of the responsibilities of a technical committee is,
wherever applicable, to make use of basic safety publications in
the preparation of its publications. The requirements, test methods
or test conditions of this basic safety publication will not apply
unless specifically referred to or included in the relevant
publications.
