The test device replicates small flames that may be generated by faulty operating conditions of components and insulating materials. The test flame represents the source of fire, which acts on a component for a defined time. The burning time and fire propagation of parts can then be proven.

In this test method, three specimens are successively ex­ posed at different locations to a previously calibrated flame. The flame duration depends on the properties of the final product. The preferred values are these in IEC/EN 60695-11-5 chap. 7 (severity levels).
