What is BS EN 60695-7-3 - Toxicity testing of fire effluent about?
BS EN 60695-7-3 is a European standard and a part of the BS EN 60695 series that discusses the use and interpretation of test results for fire hazard testings. Toxic fire effluents are responsible for the majority of fire deaths, and an increasingly large majority of fire injuries, driven by the widespread and increasing use of synthetic polymers.
BS EN 60695-7-3 concerns laboratory tests used to measure the toxic components of the fire effluent from either electrotechnical products or materials used in electrotechnical products. It guides the use and interpretation of results from such tests. It also guides the use of toxic potency data in fire hazard assessment and on principles that underlie the use of combustibility and toxicological information in fire hazard assessment.
The methods described applying to data concerning both the incapacitating effects and the lethal effects of fire effluents. One of the responsibilities of a technical committee is, wherever applicable, to make use of basic safety publications in the preparation of its publications. The requirements, test methods or test conditions of this basic safety publication will not apply unless specifically referred to or included in the relevant publications.
