Fire hazard testing - Part 2-16: Glowing/hot-wire based test methods - Summary of the round robin tests related to the use of pyrometer for glow-wire temperature measurements according to IEC 60695-2-10

Scope

IEC TR 60695-2-16:2025 specifies the results of the round robin tests related to the use of the pyrometer, for the measurement of the glow-wire temperature, according to IEC 60695-2-10.
This Technical Report summarize the objectives and the results of a pre-round robin test and two round robin tests, performed by the IEC: "Glow-wire testing: Optimization of the temperature measuring system".
The outcome of the work conducted by the IEC resulted in a proposal for a new Annex in IEC 60695-2-10, describing the minimum technical characteristics and usage conditions for the pyrometer, as an alternative temperature measurement instrument to the thermocouple.
