BS EN 60695-5-1 is a European standard that discusses the general guidance using the assessment of potential corrosion damage by fire effluent for fire hazard testing. Fire safety is important and necessary in the workplace to prevent and protect against the destruction caused by fire. Fire safety reduces the risk of injury and building damage that fires can cause.
BS EN 60695-5-1 provides guidance on the following:
One of the responsibilities of a technical committee is, wherever applicable, to make use of basic safety publications in the preparation of its publications.
BS EN 60695-5-1 on fire hazard testing applies to:
Fire effluent is a totality of gases and/or aerosols (including suspended particles) created by combustion or pyrolysis. Corrosion damage is physical and/or chemical damage or impaired function caused by chemical action.
BS EN 60695-5-1 provides general guidance on the corrosivity of fire effluent in which the electrochemical equipment and systems consist of three corrosion damage which is caused by fire effluent in the situation such as:
BS EN 60695-5-1 provides four types of corrosion damage effects that help you in the fire hazard testing:
As a user of BS EN 60695-5-1, you can be ensured of potential corrosion damage by fire effluent for fire hazard testings.
