IEC 60331-1:2009 is a standard that specifies the test method for circuit integrity of electric cables under fire conditions. It specifically focuses on cables with a rated voltage of up to and including 0,6/1,0 kV and with an overall diameter exceeding 20 mm.

The standard provides details on the test apparatus and procedure, as well as the performance requirements for the cables. This includes recommended flame application times and the ability of the cables to maintain circuit integrity when exposed to fire and mechanical shock under specified conditions.

It is important to note that this standard is specifically designed for cables with rated voltage up to and including 0,6/1,0 kV. However, it may be used for cables with a rated voltage up to and including 3,3 kV, with the agreement of the manufacturer and the purchaser, provided suitable fuses are used.

Annex A of the standard provides the method of verification for the burner and control system used in the test. Additionally, the standard includes requirements for an optional identification mark to signify compliance with this standard.
