BS EN 60695-11-4 is a European standard that discusses the apparatus and confirmational method for fire hazard testing. Flame tests help scientists and students because they can detect certain elements in unknown compounds.
BS EN 60695-11-4 provides detailed requirements for the production of a 50 W nominal, pre-mixed type test flame. The approximate overall height of the flame is 20 mm. Details are given for confirmation of the test flame.
BS EN 60695-11-4 on fire hazard testing applies to:
A fire hazard is a physical object or condition with the potential for an undesirable consequence from fire. Flame tests help scientists and students because they can detect certain elements in unknown compounds.
BS EN 60695-11-4 provides the method for testing electrotechnical products about fire hazards is to duplicating exactly the conditions occurring in practice. In most instances, this is not possible. The testing of electrotechnical products about fire hazards is best conducted by simulating as closely as possible the actual effects occurring in practice.
Overall, BS EN 60695-11-4 is useful as it provides guidance on the test methods for the toxicity of fire effluent for fire hazard testing.
