5.4 Environmental tolerance After the severity level tests specified in Table 1 are completed, the fire resistance of the cable should not be lower than the original level requirements.

6.1 General Requirements

6.1.1 Test Atmospheric Conditions Unless otherwise specified in the relevant provisions, all tests shall be conducted under the following atmospheric conditions.

---Temperature. 15°C~35°C;

---Relative humidity. 25%~75%;

---Atmospheric pressure. 86kPa~106kPa.

6.1.2 Tolerance Unless otherwise specified in the relevant clauses, the tolerance for all test data is ±5%; deviations in environmental condition parameters shall comply with GB/T 16838. Require.

6.1.3 Sample The test specimens shall be prepared in accordance with the requirements of GB/T 19666-2019 and GB 31247-2014.The test specimens shall be prepared in the same batch or at the same time. One cable is completed and numbered before testing.

6.1.4 Test Procedure The experimental procedure is shown in Table 2.

6.2 Combustion performance test The combustion performance test shall be conducted in accordance with the requirements of Chapter 4 of GB 31247-2014.

6.3 Fire resistance test Fire resistance tests shall be conducted in accordance with the requirements of

6.2 in GB/T 19666-2019.

6.4.1 Test Procedure

6.4.1.1 Place the cable in a test chamber and heat it to 70°C±2°C at a rate not exceeding 1K/min, maintaining this temperature for 14 days. (14 days) After completion, the test sample should be kept inside the test chamber, and then the temperature should be lowered to within the temperature deviation range of the test standard conditions. During the temperature drop... The time should be sufficient for the temperature to stabilize, and should last at least 1 hour.

6.4.1.2 After the test, the fire resistance of the cable shall not be lower than the original grade requirement.

6.4.2 Test Equipment The high-temperature test chamber shall comply with the provisions of GB/T 16838.

6.5.1 Test Procedure

6.5.1.1 Place the cable in a test chamber, set the chamber temperature to 25°C±3°C, and the relative humidity to not less than 95%, and repeat the test 6 times. Repeat the following cycle for 24 hours each time.

a) The temperature inside the test chamber should be raised to 55°C±2°C within 3h±0.5h, and the rate of temperature increase should be maintained within the boundary of the shaded area in Figure 1. The relative humidity during this stage should be no less than 95%, and the relative humidity during the last 15 minutes should be no less than 90%.

b) The temperature should be maintained at the specified high temperature limit ±2°C until 12 hours ± 30 minutes from the start of the cycle. This initial and final stage... The relative humidity should be between 90% and 100% for the last 15 minutes, and between (93±3)% for the rest of the time.

c) The temperature should be reduced to 25°C±3°C within 3h~6h. The cooling rate for the first 1.5h is as shown in Figure 1, and the rate for the next 3h±15min... The internal temperature reaches 25°C±3°C. Except for the initial 15 minutes when the relative humidity should not be less than 90%, the relative humidity for the remaining time should be... The degree should be no less than 95%.
