Fire hazard testing - Glowing/hot-wire based test methods. Glow-wire flammability test method for end-products (GWEPT)1 Scope This part of IEC 60695 specifies a test method on an end product. It is intended to simulate the effects of thermal stresses produced by an electrically heated source to represent a fire hazard. This test method is used to check that, under defined test conditions, an end product exposed to an electrically heated source has either a limited ability to ignite or, if it ignites, a limited ability to propagate flame. However, the fire hazard

The standard also covers remote video response centre operations

BS 5440-1 is applicable to open flue chimneys for Type B gas appliances and room-sealed chimney configurations for Type C gas appliances

The intention of BS EN 61100 is not to provide a complete evaluation of all aspects of fire hazard
