Application Summary AI generated

This standard specifies the metallographic analysis method for examining electrical fire evidence, focusing on the microscopic structure of melted conductors and components. It is applied by fire investigators and forensic laboratories in China to determine whether electrical faults, such as short circuits or overloads, caused a fire. The method is used in post-fire evidence analysis to differentiate fire-induced damage from pre-existing electrical failures.
