VG 95218-2 Method 3

Test set-up The single cable under test is weighted over a pulley and secured at an angle of 45° to the vertical. The burner flame is directed at the cable from below under an angle of 45° to the vertical. 25 mm below the point of heat application on the sample, tissue paper (S) is spread out horizontically underneath the sample, at least 13 mm above the chamber floor.

Flame temperature

Determined by the stipulated setting of the burner flame.

Test duration Cable with a diameter of ≤ 25 mm: 60 sec Cable with a diameter of 25 < D < 50 mm: 120 sec

Compliance criterion

It is only permitted for the sample to continue burning for at most 30 sec-onds after the flame has been removed. Overall the fire damage to the cable must not exceed 76 mm. The tissue paper (S) spread out underneath must not be ignited by dripping material.
