 TC 89 "Fire Hazard testing"
|
Technical Committee 89 is a horizontal committee, with a safety pilot function within the IEC for assessing fire hazards of electrotechnical equipment.
Apart from the normal activities in producing International Standards, Specifications and Technical reports, the Committee is engaged in taking care, for the electrotechnical fields, the increasing growing importance of Fire Safety Engineering (FSE), which is applicable to most situations where a fire may occur.
Fire safety is a concern in all application areas. The market of TC 89 Standards and Guidances is extremely broad: they are used for the assessment and the control of the fire risk of materials and products in the broadest sense, by saving lives, reducing fire losses and bringing substantial cost savings in design.
The main beneficiaries are: industry, national and international regulators, consumer groups, research organisations, testing laboratories and certification bodies.
