Fire hazard testing - Part 10-2: Abnormal heat - Ball pressure test method
Fire hazard testing - Part 10-2: Abnormal heat - Ball pressure test method
IEC 60695-10-2:2014-02(en-fr) specifies the ball pressure test as a method for evaluating the softening temperature and accelerated material flow under load of polymeric materials and parts of end products in their ability to resist abnormal heat. It is applicable to the materials used in electrotechnical equipment, subassemblies and components, and to solid electrical insulating materials except ceramics.
The Ball Pressure test method is not appropriate for certain elastomers, foamed materials, and other materials that tend to be soft at room temperature. Product Committees are encouraged to evaluate these materials using other methods such as IEC 60695-10-3.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition of IEC 60695-10-2 published in 2003. It constitutes a technical revision.
The main changes with respect to the previous edition are as follows:
This standard has the status of a basic safety publication in accordance with IEC Guide 104 and ISO/IEC Guide 51.
Key words: Abnormal heat, Ball pressure test method, Fire hazard
