This part of IEC 60695 provides guidance for assessing the fire hazard of electrotechnical
products and for the resulting development of fire hazard testing as related directly to harm to
people, animals or property. 
It outlines a hazard-based process to identify appropriate fire test methods and performance
criteria for products. The principles of the methodology are to identify fire events (fire
scenarios) which will be associated with the product, to establish how the measurable fire
properties of the product are related to the possible occurrence and outcome of those events,
and to establish test methods and performance requirements for those properties which will
either result in a tolerable fire outcome or eliminate the event altogether.
It is intended as guidance to IEC committees, to be used with respect to their individual
applications. The actual implementation of this document remains the responsibility of each
product committee, according to the minimum acceptable fire safety in its application field and
taking into account the feedback from experience.
This basic safety publication is intended for use by technical committees in the preparation of
standards in accordance with the principles laid down in IEC Guide 104 and ISO/IEC Guide 51 [10].
One of the responsibilities of a technical committee is, wherever applicable, to make use of
basic safety publications in the preparation of its publications. The requirements, test
methods or test conditions of this basic safety publication will not apply unless specifically
referred to or included in the relevant publications.dition 2.0 2014-10 INTERNATIONAL STANDARD NORME INTERNATIONALE BA SIC SAFETY PUBLICATION PU BLICATION FONDAMENTALE DE SéCURITé Fire hazard testing – Part 1-11: Guidance for assessing the fire hazard of electrotechnical products – Fire hazard assessment Essais relatifs aux risques du feu – Partie 1-11: Lignes directrices pour l'évaluation du danger du feu des produits électrotechniques – Evaluation du danger du feu IEC 60695-1-11:2014-10(en-f
