AS/NZS IEC 60331.2 – Tests for electric cables under fire conditions – Circuit integrity, Method 2: 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 not exceeding 20 mm

Identically adopts IEC 60331-2:2018 for Australia which specifies the test method for cables which are required to maintain circuit integrity when subject to fire and mechanical shock under specified conditions. This document applies to cables of rated voltage not exceeding 600 V/1 000 V, including those of rated voltage below 80 V, metallic data and telecom cables and optical fibre cables. It is intended for use when testing cables of not greater than 20 mm overall diameter.KEYWORDS: Electric cables; Circuit integrity; Fire conditions; Test methods
