1. Application scope The IEC60695-5-11 specifies a needle test to simulate the effect a small flame which may result from fault conditions, in order to assess by a simulation technique the fire hazard. It is applicable to electro-technical equipment, its sub-assemblies and components and solid electrical insulating materials or other combustible materials. 2. Description of the test apparatus 1) Burner: the burner to produce the test flame shall consist of a tub at least 35mm long with a bore of 0.5mm±0.1mm and an outer diameter not exceeding 0.9mm.The burner is supplied with butane or propane gas having gas having a purity of at least 95%. PG-NF: The burner is made by stainless steel, the size is Φ 0.5mm ± 0.1mm, outer dia.: ≤Φ 0.9mm, Length: 35mm. 2) Flame: With the axis of the burner in the vertical position, the gas supply is adjusted so that the length of the flame is 12mm±1mm, when viewed in subbdued light against a dark background.
