IEC 60695 Electrical Safety Testing for Fire Hazard of Electrical Equipment
The IEC 60695 series is a set of international standards that define the methods and procedures for testing electrical insulation systems, including those used in various types of equipment. Among these, IEC 60695-11: Determination of the Glow Wire Ignition Temperature (GWIT) specifically addresses the fire hazard assessment of electrical materials.
The IEC 60695-11 test is a critical step in ensuring that electrical components and equipment are safe from igniting under specified conditions. This test simulates an environment where a component might be exposed to high temperatures, such as during a short circuit or overheating situation. The goal of the test is to determine the lowest temperature at which the material will ignite when subjected to a glow wire heated to 750°C (1382°F).
The process involves placing the sample on a holder and subjecting it to controlled heating by a glow wire. The temperature is gradually increased until the sample ignites, and this point—known as the GWIT—is recorded. This value provides valuable information about the flammability of the material, helping manufacturers design safer products.
The IEC 60695-11 test is widely used in industries such as electronics manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, and consumer goods. Compliance with this standard ensures that products meet stringent safety regulations, thereby protecting consumers from potential fire hazards.
Our laboratory utilizes state-of-the-art equipment to perform these tests according to the latest standards. Our experienced team of engineers ensures accurate and reliable results.
