NOTE – In considering how to minimize
propagation of fire and what “small parts” are,
account should be taken of the cumulative effect of
small parts adjacent to each other for the possible
effect of propagating fire from one part to another.
Compliance shall be checked by tests of
20.201.2.1, 20.201.2.2 and 20.201.2.3
For the base material of PRINTED BOARDS,
compliance is checked by the test of
20.201.2.4.
The test shall be carried out on parts of non-
metallic material which have been removed
from the apparatus. When the glow-wire test
is carried out, they are placed in the same
orientation as they would be in normal use.
These tests are not carried out on internal
wiring.
20.201.2 Test
20.201.2.1 Testing of non-matallic parts
Parts of non-metallic material are subjected to
the glow-wire test of AS/NZS 60695.2.11 which
shall be carried out at 550
°
C.
Parts for which the glow-wire test cannot be
carried out, such as those made of soft or
foamy material, shall meet the requirements
specified in ISO 9772 for category FH-3
material. The glow-wire test shall not be
carried out on parts of material classified at
least FH-3 according to ISO 9772 provided that
the sample tested was not thicker than the
relevant part.
20.201.2.2 Testing of insulated parts
Part of insulating material supporting
POTENTIAL IGNITION SOURCES shall be
subject to the glow-wire test of AS/NZS
64695.2.11 which shall be carried out at 750
°
C
The test shall be also carried out on other parts
of insulating material which are within a
distance of 3 mm of the connection.
NOTE-Contacts in components such as switch
contacts are considered to be coneections.
