IEC 60695-10-3:2016
Fire hazard testing - Part 10-3: Abnormal heat - Mould stress relief distortion test
IEC 60695-10-3:2016 specifies a mould stress relief distortion test. It is applicable to electrotechnical equipment including parts made from polymeric materials. This test method is intended to evaluate the effects caused by relief of the residual process-induced stress, set in a moulded polymeric assembly of an end product. This stress relief occurs when the sample (energized or not), is exposed to conditioning at a defined temperature for a defined period of time. The test specimen is considered to have satisfactorily withstood the test if, after conditioning to room temperature, it meets defined test criteria. This basic safety publication is primarily intended for use by technical committees in the preparation of standards in accordance with the principles laid down in IEC Guide 104 and ISO/IEC Guide 51. It is not intended for use by manufacturers or certification bodies. This second edition of IEC 60695-10-3 cancels and replaces the first edition issued in 2002. It constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:- Updated references;- Updated equipment;- Added terms and definitions;- and added Bibliography. Key words: Fire Hazard, Abnormal Heat, Fire Safety Engineering, Mould Stress Relief Distortion Test.

Specifies the mould stress relief distortion test as a test method for use by product committees. It is applicable to electrotechnical equipment including parts made from polymeric materials. This test is intended to simulate the effects caused by the relieving of moulding stresses by conditioning the product or part at a temperature higher than the maximum normal operating temperature and observing the nature of the resulting changes. Has the status of a basic safety publication in accordance with IEC Guide 104.
