6.0 Electrical Strength Test

No. Test Clause in Result Description of test 6 pieces are subjected to

Standard this series of test

6.1 Provision for 19.1 Pass A CEE7 Euro Plug is fitted into an ECP and the
cables and CEE7cord is subjected to 25 pulls lasting is with
BS1363-5
Cords a force of 55N, no more than 2mm of
displacement is allowed. The cord is then
subjected to the pulling force and at 3750v to
ensure no breakdown in connection.

6.2 Resistance to 14.2 Pass Samples to be kept in a cabinet for 7 days (168
ageing hours) at 70°C±2°C, then tested for stickiness or
BS1363-5
greasiness by with dry rough cloth wrapped
around a fore-finger, force 5N.

6.3 Insulation 15.1 Pass 500V DC is applied and after 60s the insulation
resistance resistance is checked and must be not less than:
BS1363-5
a) 5MΩ between parts of opposite polarity,
b) 5MΩ between parts of opposite polarity
connected together and other insulated parts
including the earth..

6.4 Electric Strength 15.1 Pass 2000V AC 50Hz is applied and after 60s the
Voltage drop is checked and must be within 3%
BS1363-5
RMS of the applied Voltage:
a) between live parts of opposite polarity,
b) between live parts of opposite polarity
connected together and other insulated parts
including the earth..

8.0 Construction Tests

No. Test Clause in Result Description of test 3 pieces are subjected to

Standard this series of tests

8.1 Accessibility to 9.1 Pass With the unit assembled as in normal use a
live parts probe 12 to BS EN 61032:1998 is supplied with
BS1363-5
a force of 5N whilst a voltage of 45V is supplied
to the live parts via an electrical indicator. No
access permissible

8.2 Lid to Base 12.5 Pass With the parts at 70°C±5° C a force of 60N is
security applied to the cover fixing screw, no damage or
BS1363-5
impairment of function to have occurred.

8.3 Resistance to 22.2 Pass With the parts at 70°C±5° C a force of 20N is
Heat applied to the plug in the jaws of the apparatus
BS1363-5
shown in Figure 23, no damage or impairment of
function to have occurred, shown by re-testing
insulation resistance and electric strength, and
must fit the Figure 5 gauge

8.4 Resistance to 22.3 Pass Ball pressure test using the apparatus shown in
Heat Figure 24, test temperature at 75°C±5° C, the
BS1363-5
force of 20N is applied for 60 mins after an initial
period of 10 mins. The sample is then cooled by
immersion in water at room temp and the
indentation caused by the ball measured, this
must be less than 2mm in diameter.
