Overview
This part of the DIN EN 60332 (VDE 0482-332) series of standards specifies the test apparatus for testing for vertical flame propagation for a single core, cable or fiber optic cable under fire conditions. The test method and an informative annex of the recommended requirements specified in DIN EN 60332-1-2 (VDE 0482-332-1-2). The tests for vertical flame propagation on an insulated conductor or cable are divided into the following parts of the standard: - Part 1-1 specifies the test apparatus. - Part 1-2 specifies the test method with 1 kW flame with gas/air mixture. - Part 1-3 specifies the test method for evaluating falling droplets/parts. The responsible committee is Subcommittee DKE/UK 411.2 "Isolierte Starkstromleitungen" ("Insulated cables, wires and flexible cords for power installation") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
