ORMITY provides critical textile consumables for laboratories requiring the highest level of regulatory compliance. All products listed as "Normative" are supplied with a Certificate of Calibration for Mass per Unit Area (Grammage) issued by a partner laboratory accredited under ISO/IEC 17025, ensuring the metrological traceability required by national and international accreditation bodies.
IEC 60695 / UL 94 – Glow-Wire Indicator Cloth
Product Name: Glow-Wire Indicator Gauze (Cotton)
SKU: ORTY-IEC60695-GAUZE-30-WH-V1
Intended Use: Ignition indicator material for Glow-Wire and fire hazard testing.
Normative Requirement: Observation of flame propagation via flaming droplets.
Technical Data:
Composition: 100% Cotton (Absorbent gauze).
Nominal Mass: 30 g/m².
Chemical Properties: Open weave, free of optical brighteners or flame-retardant agents.
Compliance Status: ISO/IEC 17025 Calibration Certificate for grammage included.
Normative Justification: Ignition Indicator Material
The use of an indicator material to verify ignition caused by flaming droplets or incandescent particles is a mandatory requirement under the IEC 60695 series. The specific clauses are detailed below:
1. IEC 60695-2-10 (Glow-wire apparatus and common test procedure)
Clause 4.4 – Specified Layer: This clause defines the material that must be positioned beneath the test specimen to evaluate the risk of fire propagation.
Technical Requirement: The standard prescribes a specified layer (typically a flat wooden board) covered with a single layer of wrapping tissue or a layer of cotton gauze (cheesecloth), depending on the specific requirements of the end-product standard.
2. IEC 60695-2-11 (Glow-wire flammability test method for end-products - GWEPT)
Clause 8 – Test Procedure: Specifies that the test specimen must be mounted such that any flaming or glowing particles falling from the specimen strike the specified layer described in IEC 60695-2-10.
Clause 11 – Evaluation of Test Results: A test is considered successful only if there is no ignition of the specified layer (the indicator gauze or tissue paper) during the test or within the specified post-test observation period.
3. IEC 60695-11-5 (Needle-flame test method)
Clause 4.4 – Specified Layer: Similar to glow-wire testing, this direct-flame method requires a material to be placed beneath the specimen to detect ignition from dripping.
Technical Requirement: Unless otherwise specified by the relevant product standard, a layer of surgical cotton wool (or specified gauze) is positioned 200mm below the point where the flame is applied to the specimen.
Technical Compliance Statement for Catalog
Note: The ORTY-IEC60695-GAUZE-30-WH-V1 is specifically manufactured to meet the "Specified Layer" requirements for cotton gauze as defined in IEC 60695-2-10. The inclusion of an ISO/IEC 17025 Calibration Certificate ensures that the grammage and chemical purity are within the normative tolerances, providing objective evidence for laboratory accreditation audits.
Ormity Compliance Framework
Metrological Validation: ORMITY eliminates the need for the client laboratory to perform incoming mass-per-unit-area verification. Each product is delivered pre-calibrated by an accredited laboratory (signatory to the ILAC MRA) under ISO/IEC 17025—service provided by Law Calibration Services - Maine, US.
Full Traceability: Every supply unit is linked to a Calibration Certificate traceable to the International System of Units (SI).
Audit Readiness: Calibration records and technical datasheets are archived for 5 years, ensuring full support during external audits or accreditation renewals (e.g., ISO 17025 or UL DAP).
