    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Specifies the use of a 1 kW pre-mixed flame and is for general use, except that the procedure may not be suitable for small single insulated conductors or cables of less than 0.5 sq. mm. total cross-section, or for small optical fibre cables. In those cases, the procedure in BS EN 50265-2-2 is recommended.
