NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (Part 2/Section 12) (First Revision) which is identical with IEC 60695-2-12 : 2021 ‘Fire hazard testing - Part 2-12: Glowing/hot-wire based test methods - Glow-wire flammability index (GWFI) test method for materials’ issued by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendation of the EnvironmentalTesting Procedure Sectional Committee and approval of the Electronics and Information Technology Division Council.

This standard was originally published in 2019 and was identical with IEC 60695-2-12 : 2014. The first revision of this standard has been undertaken to align it with the latest version of IEC 60695-2-12 : 2021.

The text of IEC Standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certain conventions are however not identical to those used in Indian Standards. Attention is particularly drawn to the following:

a) Wherever the words ‘International Standard’ appears referring to this standard, they should be read as ‘Indian Standard’.

b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker while in Indian Standards, the current practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
