This standard should be read in conjunction with IEC 695-1-1. lt deals with the hazard concept, the main objective of the tests, their significant aspects, the evaluation of the fire hazard and a list of suitable ignition sources. Has the status of a basic safety publication in accordance with IEC Guide 104.

Applies to the measurement and assessment of the response of a material, product, structure or system to one or more aspects of fire. Has the status of a basic safety publication in accordance with IEC Guide 104.

IEC 60695-1-30:2008 provides guidance for assessing and choosing candidate materials, components or sub-assemblies for making an end-product based upon preselection testing. It describes how preselection provides comparative fire hazard test methods to evaluate the performance of a test specimen and how preselection can be used in the selection of materials, parts, components and sub-assemblies during the design stage of an end-product. The major changes with respect to the previous edition are as follows: - Further explanation given in the introduction and Scope - Clause 3 changes to the definitions - Clause 4 clarifications of the principles of product design considering preselection - Clause 5 clarifications of the advantages and limitations of preselection - Clause 6 clarifications of the aspects of preselection relative to hazard assessment - Annex A changes in the references for examples of test methods which may be relevant to preselection - Annex B changes in the illustrative example of the flowchart of the use of preselection tests for resistance to fire hazards of a specific product type. It has the status of a horizontal standard in accordance with IEC Guide 104 and ISO/IEC Guide 51.
