UNE-EN IEC 60754-3:2021

This part of IEC 60754 specifies the apparatus and procedure for the measurement of theamount of halogens evolved during the combustion of materials taken from electric or opticalfibre cable constructions.The method specified in this document is intended for the measurement of the content ofchlorine (Cl), bromine (Br), fluorine (F) and iodine (I), by using the analytical technique of ionchromatography for analysing an aqueous solution resulting from the gases evolved duringthe combustion.The heating (combustion) procedure in this part of IEC 60754 is the same as in IEC 60754-2.The method is intended for materials with an individual halogen content not exceeding10 mg/g.The method specified in this document is intended for the testing of individual componentsused in a cable construction. The use of this method will enable the verification ofrequirements which are stated in the appropriate cable specification for individual componentsof a cable construction.NOTE 1 The relevant cable standard indicates which components of the cable are tested.NOTE 2 This test method is sometimes used to test materials to be used in cable manufacture.For reasons of precision, this method is not recommended for detecting values of halogensless than 0,1 mg/g of the sample taken.
