IEC 60331 – Tests for electric cables under fire conditions – Circuit integrity – Part 1: Test method for fire with shock at a temperature of at least 830 °C for cables of rated voltage up to and including 0,6/1,0 kV and with an overall diameter exceeding 20 mm.
IEC 60331 is an essential international standard that defines test methods to assess the circuit integrity of electric cables when exposed to fire conditions. These tests ensure that cables can continue to operate for a specified duration under extreme heat and mechanical stress, maintaining functionality crucial for safety systems in buildings, transportation, and industrial applications.
This part of the standard specifies the test procedures for cables of rated voltage up to and including 0.6/1.0 kV, with an overall diameter exceeding 20 mm. The test subjects the cables to a temperature of at least 830 °C, combined with mechanical shocks, simulating the conditions experienced during a real fire scenario. These rigorous conditions aim to verify the cable’s ability to maintain circuit integrity, which is critical in emergency systems such as fire alarms, emergency lighting, and evacuation equipment.
The test is performed by exposing the cable to flames in a controlled environment, with the addition of mechanical shocks at specific intervals. The performance criteria include the cable’s ability to carry current without significant failure for the defined test duration. By adhering to this standard, manufacturers can ensure their cables meet the highest safety requirements and perform reliably in fire-critical situations.
This standard applies to cables used in environments where high levels of safety and reliability are required, such as in tunnels, high-rise buildings, power plants, and transportation systems. Compliance with IEC 60331 demonstrates a commitment to safety and is often a regulatory requirement in many regions.
