I have been asked by one of our mechanical engineers to look into conducting the Hot Flaming oil test of IEC60950 based standards (reference to Annex A.5) Has anyone had experience with this test especially in conducting or witnessing the test (first hand experience)?

The standards specify the oil as being:
"distillate fuel oil which is a medium volitile distillate having a mass per unit volume between 0.845 g/ml and 0.865 g/ml, a flash point between 43.5C and 93.5C and an average calorific value of 38MJ/l."


In laymans terms...what type of oil will satisfy these requirements. Any suggestyions on the test setup are also appreciated.

Regards,


Ken McCormick
