There are a lot of exemptions later in 6.4.4, the most significant perhaps being:

/These requirements do not apply to: – parts with a size of less than 1 750 mm3;
/

But you really need to study the standard yourself, to see the other exemptions.

Dear colleagues.

I have a question regarding the flammability rating of components located within a fire enclosure.

We have been told by a safety approval engineer that under clause 6.4.6 of 62368-1:2014 that all combustible material within a fire enclosure and not part of a PS2 or PS3 circuit must have be V-2 or better flammability rating. For example, internal harnesses & connectors which carry low level signals between PCBs and do not carry supply voltages must have a rating of V-2 or better.

Does this mean that any component within a fire enclosure regardless of location must have a minimum flammability rating of V-2 or pass the convoluted Annex S.1 test?

Many thanks in advance;
