Flammability
Test
The Flame-retardant characteristics of electric cables depends upon, raw
material used during manufacture, design & external circumstances. Several
tests have been designed to determine the flammability of material used in cable
or even the fire properties of bunch of cables.
SS:: 424-14-75 covers class F-3 cables (Swedish
Chimney)
IEC: 332 Pt I & II is Flammability Test
Apparatus for single cable.
IEC: 332 Pt 3 Covers Test on Bunched Cables,
conducted in 4x2x1 meter chamber fitted with Ribbon Burner, Flow Meters &
Air Flow Controls
IEEE.: 383 is Type Test of Class IE Electric Cables, Field Splices, and
Connections for Nuclear Power Generation Stations
