IEC 60695-1-10:2016 provides general guidance with respect to fire hazard testing on how to reduce to a tolerable level the risk of fire and the potential effects of fires involving electrotechnical products. It also serves as a signpost standard to the other guidance publications in the IEC 60695 series. It does not give guidance on the use of fire-resistant compartment boundaries or on the use of detection and suppression systems for the mitigation of fire risk. It describes the relationship between fire risk and the potential effects of fire, and provides guidance to IEC product committees on the applicability of qualitative and quantitative fire tests to the fire hazard assessment of electrotechnical products. Details of the calculation of fire risk are not included in the scope of this document. It emphasises the importance of the scenario approach to fire hazard and risk assessment and discusses criteria intended to ensure the development of technically sound hazard-based fire test methods. It discusses the different types of fire tests, in particular the nature of qualitative and quantitative fire tests. It also describes the circumstances under which it is appropriate for IEC product committees to maintain or develop qualitative fire tests. This standard is intended as guidance to IEC committees, and is to be used with respect to their individual applications. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2009. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: - reference to IEC 60695-1-12; - modified Introduction and Scope; - updated normative references; - updated terms and definitions; - modified Table 1; - addition of Table 2; - new text in Subclauses 5.2, 5.3 and 5.4; - mandatory text in Clause 8; - Annex B changed to Annex A, and modified; - new Annex B concerning common ignition sources. This publication is to be read in conjunction with IEC 60695-1-11:2014 and IEC 60695-1-12:2015. Key words: Fire Hazard, Fire Risk, Fire Safety Engineering LIEC 60695-1-10:2016 fournit des lignes directrices generales concernant les essais relatifs aux dangers dincendie, sur la maniere de reduire a un niveau acceptable le risque dincendie et les effets potentiels des incendies impliquant des produits electrotechniques. Elle sert aussi de norme de reference pour les autres publications donnant des lignes directrices dans la serie IEC 60695. La presente partie ne fournit pas de lignes directrices relatives a lutilisation de parois de compartiment resistant au feu ou de systemes de detection et de suppression pour la reduction du risque dincendie. Elle decrit la relation entre le risque dincendie et les effets potentiels des incendies. Elle fournit des lignes directrices aux comites de produits de lIEC sur la pertinence des essais au feu qualitatifs et quantitatifs pour levaluation des dangers dincendie des produits electrotechniques. Les details du calcul du risque dincendie ne sont pas couverts par le domaine dapplication du present document. Elle souligne limportance de lapproche par scenario pour levaluation des dangers dincendie et des risques dincendie. Elle traite egalement des criteres visant a assurer le developpement de methodes dessai au feu basees sur les dangers qui soient techniquement solides. Elle traite des differents types dessais au feu et, en particulier, de la nature des essais qualitatifs et quantitatifs. Elle decrit aussi les circonstances pour lesquelles il est approprie pour les comites de produits de lIEC de maintenir ou de mettre au point des essais au feu qualitatifs. La presente norme est destinee a fournir des lignes directrices pour les comites de lIEC et il convient de les utiliser en fonction de leurs applications particulieres. Cette deuxieme edition annule et remplace la premiere edition parue en 2009. Cette edition constitue une revision technique. Cette edition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport a ledition precedente: - reference a lIEC 60695-1-12; - modification de lintroduction et du domaine dapplication; - mise a jour des references normatives; - mise a jour des termes et definitions; - modification du Tableau 1; - ajout du Tableau 2: nouveau texte dans les Articles 5.2, 5.3 et 5.4.; - texte obligatoire a lArticle 8; - annexe B renommee Annexe A, et modifiee et ajout dune Annexe B relative aux sources dallumage communes. Cette publication doit etre lue conjointement avec la IEC 60695-1-11:2014, et IEC 60695-1-12:2015. Mots cles: danger dincendie, risque dincendie, lingenierie de la securite incendie
