Annotation of standard text IEC 60331-2-ed.2.0 :
IEC 60331-2:2018 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 is applicable 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. Cables of larger diameter are intended to be tested using the apparatus, procedure and requirements of IEC 60331-1. This document includes details for the specific point of failure, continuity checking arrangement, test sample, test procedure and test report relevant to electric power and control cables with rated voltage up to and including 600 V/1000 V. Details for the specific point of failure, continuity checking arrangement, test sample, test procedure and test report relevant to metallic data and telecom cables and optical fibre cables are not given by IEC 60331-2. Although the scope is restricted to cables with rated voltage up to and including 0,6/1,0 kV, the procedure can be used, with the agreement of the manufacturer and the purchaser, for cables with rated voltage up to and including 1,8/3 (3,3) kV, provided that suitable fuses are used. Annex A provides the method of verification of the burner and control system used for the test. Requirements are stated for an identification that may optionally be marked on the cable to signify compliance with this standard. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2009. It constitutes a technical revision. The significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition are as follows: – extension of the scope with metallic data and telecom cables and optical fibre cables, although details for the specific point of failure, continuity checking arrangement, test sample, test procedure and test report relevant to metallicdata and telecom cables and optical fibre cables are not given by IEC 60331-2; – improved description of the test environment; – mandatory use of mass flow meters/controllers as the means of controlling accurately the input flow rates of fuel and air to the burner; – improved figure illustrating method of mounting of the sample regarding bending radius; – improved description of the information to be included in the test report. LIEC 60331-2:2018 specifie la methode dessai pour les cables necessaires afin de conserver lintegrite du circuit quand ils sont soumis a un feu et a des chocs mecaniques dans des conditions specifiees. Le present document sapplique aux cables de tension assignee au plus egale a 600 V/1000 V, y compris ceux dont la tension assignee est inferieure a 80 V, aux cables metalliques de donnees et de telecommunications ainsi quaux cables a fibres optiques. Elle est destinee a etre utilisee pour soumettre a lessai des cables de diametre externe inferieur ou egal a 20 mm. Pour les cables de diametre plus grand, lappareillage, la procedure et les exigences de lIEC 60331-1 sont utilises. Le present document inclut des informations concernant le point specifique de defaillance, le dispositif de controle de la continuite, lechantillon dessai, la procedure dessai et le rapport dessai pertinents pour les cables electriques de puissance et de commande de tension assignee au plus egale a 600 V/1000 V. Les informations concernant le point specifique de defaillance, le dispositif de controle de la continuite, lechantillon dessai, la procedure dessai et le rapport dessai pertinents pour les cables metalliques de donnees et de telecommunications et les cables a fibres optiques ne sont pas donnees dans lIEC 60331-2. Bien que le domaine dapplication soit limite aux cables de tension assignee au plus egale a 0,6/1,0 kV, cette procedure peut etre utilisee, apres accord entre le fabricant et lacheteur, pour les cables de tension assignee au plus egale a 1,8/3 (3,3) kV, a condition dutiliser des fusibles appropries. LAnnexe A donne la methode de verification du bruleur et le systeme de controle utilise pour lessai. Des exigences sont indiquees pour une identification pouvant etre eventuellement apposee par marquage sur le cable pour signifier sa conformite a la presente norme. Cette deuxieme edition annule et remplace la premiere edition parue en 2009. Elle constitue une revision technique; Les modifications techniques majeures par rapport a ledition precedente sont les suivantes: – extension du domaine dapplication aux cables metalliques de donnees et de telecommunications et aux cables a fibres optiques, bien que les informations concernant le point specifique de defaillance, le dispositif de controle de la continuite, lechantillon dessai, la procedure dessai et le rapport dessai pour les cables metalliques de donnees et de telecommunications et pour les cables a fibres optiques ne soient pas donnees dans lIEC 60331-2; – amelioration de la description de lenvironnement dessai; – utilisation obligatoire de debitmetres massiques/regulateurs comme moyens precis de controle des debits dentree de combustible et dair au bruleur; – amelioration de la figure representant la methode de montage de lechantillon au niveau du rayon de courbure; – amelioration de la description des informations a inclure dans le rapport dessai.
