What is BS EN 6059-309 - Fire resistance testing about?
BS EN 6059-309 is a European standard that specifies a method of testing the fire resistance of wire harnesses protected with a fire-resistant sleeve for aerospace applications.
BS EN 6059-309 covers terms and definitions, specimen composition, preparation of specimen, apparatus, method, procedure, and requirements for fire resistance testing of electric cables.
Who is BS EN 6059-309 - Fire resistance testing for?
BS EN 6059-309 on fire resistance testing for aerospace is applicable to:
- Aerospace avionic electrical and fibre optic technology
- Aerospace and defence industries
- Manufacturers of protection sleeves
- Testing agencies involved in the inspection of spacecraft and aerospace products
Why should you use BS EN 6059-309 - Fire resistance testing?
Fire resistance tests are intended to assess the performance of elements of construction for their load-bearing or fire separating properties. As a manufacturer of protection sleeves, BS EN 6059-309 guides you in performing the test methods for fire resistance and thereby checking the effectiveness.
BS EN 6059-309 gives you guidelines on procedures and requirements of testing the fire resistance of electrical cables.
By adopting BS EN 6059-309, you can demonstrate the reliability of your products and build trust in their use throughout the aerospace supply chain.
