Through compliance with these standards, the risk of fire can be minimized in case of failure in
the conductive part.
Each one specifies its own fire hazard tests and fail/pass criteria, which depend on the fire
resistance required for the plastic part.
The fire hazard
tests specified in this standard are known as Glow-Wire (GW) tests.
