Electrical insulation fire characteristics. Volume 1: Flammability tests
Abstract
Standard flammability, smoke emission, and circuit integrity tests were developed for electrical wire and cable insulating materials used in rapid transit system vehicles and wayside and track installations. Currently used materials were tested to determine whether they can provide a fire safe environment in terms of low flame propagation, smoke emission, and gas evolution.
