Re: [PSES] Compliant needle-flame test material vs V-0 material

2023-04-18 Thread Boštjan Glavič
Hello Scott

I do not understand. If you have a product intended for connection to mains 
with available power less than 4000VA, V-0 material for fire enclosure is 
sufficient without any additional testing. Needle flame is verification test 
and cannot be compared to flammability rating test.

So if you have a certificate that your fire enclosure is V-0 for appropriate 
thickness, no need for additional evaluation.

Best regards
Bostjan

Hi Scott:

The answer to your question:

“is it possible the V-0 material does not meet the needle-flame test?”

is:  Yes.  See:

Subject: [PSES] Compliant needle-flame test material vs V-0 material

According to EN 62368-1 : 2020 + A11 : 2020 - Cl 6.4.8.4

Smaller distances are allowed provided that the part of the fire enclosure or 
fire barrier within
the required separation distance complies with one of the following:

• the fire enclosure or fire barrier meets the needle-flame test 
according to IEC 60695-11-5. Severities are identified in Clause S.2. After the 
test, the fire enclosure or fire barrier material shall not have formed any 
holes that are bigger than allowed in 6.4.8.3.3 or 6.4.8.3.4 as appropriate; or
• the fire enclosure is made of V-0 class material; or
• the fire barrier is made of V-0 class material or VTM-0 class 
material.

The test house found that the fire enclosure material could not meet the 
needle-flame test and considered non-compliance.  However, the supplier claims 
that the fire enclosure is made of V-0 material meeting the 2nd requirement.  
Since the verification methods and conditions of needle-flame test and UL 94 
are not identical, is it possible the V-0 material does not meet the 
needle-flame test?

Thanks and regards,

Scott

   This is subtle. If you’re selling appliance connectors as components in the Au/NZ market, they are likely treated differently than those appliance connectors that are only sold as part of equipment.

[PSES] Compliant needle-flame test material vs V-0 material

2023-04-18 Thread Scott Xe
According to EN 62368-1 : 2020 + A11 : 2020 - Cl 6.4.8.4

Smaller distances are allowed provided that the part of the fire enclosure
or fire barrier within
the required separation distance complies with one of the following:

• the fire enclosure or fire barrier meets the needle-flame test according
to IEC 60695-11-5. Severities are identified in Clause S.2. After the test,
the fire enclosure or fire barrier material shall not have formed any holes
that are bigger than allowed in 6.4.8.3.3 or 6.4.8.3.4 as appropriate; or
• the fire enclosure is made of V-0 class material; or
• the fire barrier is made of V-0 class material or VTM-0 class material.

The test house found that the fire enclosure material could not meet the
needle-flame test and considered non-compliance.  However, the supplier
claims that the fire enclosure is made of V-0 material meeting the 2nd
requirement.  Since the verification methods and conditions of needle-flame
test and UL 94 are not identical, is it possible the V-0 material does not
meet the needle-flame test?

Thanks and regards,

Scott

[PSES] AW: [PSES] Are Australia/New Zealand approvals needed for IEC 60320 Appliance Inlet ?

2023-04-18 Thread Dürrer Bernd
Hi Ryan,
If the national adoption of the IEC standard contains modifications, you need a 
CB report that approves compliance with these national deviations. According to 
the Australian Standards website, IEC 60320-1 has been adopted there with 
national modifications (AS/NZS 60320.1-2012 - Standards 
Australia).
 Unfortunately, I do not have the AS/NZS edition of this standard and do not 
know the content of these modifications. Sometimes, such modifications are 
mentioned in the international IEC edition: For example, IEC 60335-1:2020 
mentions in the foreword that 0,5 mm² supply cords are not allowed for class I 
appliances in Australia and New Zealand. My experience with national deviations 
in other AS/NZS standard has been that such modifications may be only editorial 
(e.g. replacing references to other IEC standards by reference to AS/NZS 
standards which in turn are equivalent or identical to their IEC counterpart), 
but sometimes also technical (e.g. specific requirements for supply voltage and 
frequency to be used for testing).
Therefore, you should request evidence from your appliance inlet supplier that 
the inlet complies with AS/NZS 60320.1. Alternatively, you (or your supplier) 
could purchase a copy of the AS/NZS edition: If the national deviations are not 
relevant for your inlet, you may try to convince your local NRTL to accept your 
plug as compliant with AS/NZS 60320.1.
Kind regards,
Bernd
