Test Method
Fix a 60cm long specimen vertically inside a metal box with an open front wall. The distance between the upper and lower fixing points is 550mm. When fixing the specimen, ensure the lower end is about 50mm from the bottom of the metal box. A propane burner with a flame length of 175mm is positioned at a distance of 450mm from the upper fixing point of the specimen, with the flame cone contacting the cable at a 45-degree angle. Press the cable surface with a sharp object; if the elastic surface becomes brittle (powdery) at a certain point, it indicates the starting point of the charred portion. If the charred portion does not extend more than 50mm from the lower fixing point, the wire or cable passes the test.
