Smoke evolution is another critical performance indicator which needs to be evaluated on a laboratory scale
and there are a number of methods used, based either on gravimetric or optical techniques.
IEC 61034 and BS EN 61034 Standards specify a test for determination of smoke density. The 3 meter cube
test measures the generation of smoke from electric cables during fire. The higher the light transmittance, the
less smoke emitted during a fire.
Oxygen index is perhaps the most widely used indicator of a material’s flammability. It is the minimum
percentage of oxygen in an oxygen/nitrogen mixture required to support combustion of a given material at
room temperature.
BS EN ISO 4589 Standard Specifies methods for the determination the minimum concentration of oxygen, in
a mixture with nitrogen, which will support combustion of small vertical test specimens.
Flame retardant materials require a level of oxygen higher than that normally present in the atmosphere (21%)
for burning to be maintained and a material having an oxygen index of 26 or above is considered to be self
extinguishing. In general, the oxygen index of flame retardant PVC jacketed cables ranges from 28% to 32%,
