Appendix Technical tables T41 Common Test Methods for Cables under Fire Conditions
This standard specifies methods of test for the assessment of vertical flame spread of vertically-mounted bunched wires or cables, electrical or optical, under defined conditions.
This article describes the European standard BSEN 60331-1-2, the Canadian standard CSA FT1, and the US UL VW-1 vertical flame test standard, all of which are used to test cables for flame retardancy.
These procedures provide consistent, repeatable results and measurable test acceptance criteria that allow the selection of the correct product for the application. The standard flame tests commonly
