1 Scope
This part of IEC 60695, which is a technical specification, describes a test method intended to investigate whether the bottom part of an enclosure having openings is able to contain the burning droplets inside the enclosure if ignition occurs inside a finished unit.
The purpose of the test is to verify whether the size of the openings in the bottom part of an enclosure are of such a size that reduces the risk of propagation of a flame outside the enclosure of a finished unit.
This technical specification is intended to be used by technical committees in the preparation of documents in accordance with the principles laid down in IEC GUIDE 104 [4] and ISO/IEC Guide 51 [5]. While this document currently does not have the status of a horizontal safety publication, it is intended to become one if the document is transformed into an International Standard.
NOTE One of the responsibilities of a technical committee is, wherever applicable, to make use of basic safety publications in the preparation of its publications. The requirements, test methods or test conditions of this technical specification will not apply unless specifically referred to or included in the relevant publications.
