• 29.020 Electrical engineering in general
• 13.220.40 Ignitability and burning behaviour of materials and products

Provides guidance for assessing the fire hazard of electrotechnical products and for the resulting development of fire hazard testing as related directly to harm to people, animals or property. Products, as defined in this standard, relate to materials, components or complete end-use products. Contains a new informative Annex with an example of the fire hazard assessment technique. The example is based on a hypothetical installation of rigid plastic conduit and quantifies the contribution of it to the total fire hazard in an actual fire scenario.
