Fire hazard testing. Part 7-1: Toxicity of fire effluent - General guidance

Provides guidance on the factors which affect the toxic hazard from fires involving electrotechnical products, and provides information on the methodologies recommended by ISO TC 92 (SC 3) for estimating and reducing toxic hazard from fires, as expressed in ISO/TR 9122 (Parts 1 to 6), ISO 13344 and ISO/TS 13571. There is no single test to realistically assess toxic hazard in fires. Small-scale toxic potency tests are not capable on their own of assessing fire hazard. Current toxicity tests attempt to measure the toxic potency of a laboratory generated fire effluent. Toxic potency should not be confused with toxic hazard. Although the structure of this standard remains essentially the same, the main changes with respect to the previous edition are listed below: - Introduction: an explanation concerning the publication of EN 60695-7-50, a small-scale toxicity test method, reference to EN 60695-7-51 which covers the calculation and interpretation of test results, an explanation of the alignment with ISO/TC 92 Fire safety. - The expansion of the scope further clarifies the subject
