Organization: IEC
Publication Date: 1 February 2011
Status: active
Page Count: 26
ICS Code (Office machines): 35.260
ICS Code (Home economics in general): 97.020
scope:

This technical specification introduces safeguards to reduce the likelihood of room flash-over as a result of accidental ignition of exterior housings of audio/video and information communication technology products likely to be used in the home, caused by a candle flame.

NOTE According to AC/22/2009 and SMB decision 135/20, this technical specification should currently only be used for television sets. It can be used for other products only if a risk assessment indicates problems with these products.
