Compliance to IEC 60695 part 2-11 for the end product and parts 2-12 and 2-13 for materials is required in
Europe—and increasingly in other regions—for certain electrical and electronic applications.
The most common tests specified by UL94 are the vertical burning (V-0; V-1; V-2) test and horizontal
burning (HB) test.
For V-0, V-1, V-2, 5VA and 5VB, the color
concentrates have to be listed with reference to
specific resin grades.
