IEC 60598-1 Clause 8.15 Arrangement For Impact Test For Handlamps

Product information:

This test device is designed and manufactured according to the standard requirements of IEC 60598-1 clause 8.15.1 for handlamps having a handle or shell of flexible material, such as rubber or polychloroprene, compliance shall be checked by the following test.

The parts of the handlamp which are gripped in normal use, are subjected to a pressure test in an apparatus similar to that shown in figure 3, the test being made in a heating cabinet maintained at a temperature of 100±2℃.

The sample is clamped between steel jaws, having a cylindrical face of 25 mm radius, a width of 15 mm and a length of 50 mm. The corners are rounded with a radius of 2.5 mm.

The sample is clamped in such a way that the jaws press against it in the area where it is gripped in normal use, the centre line of the jaws coinciding as nearly as possible with the centre of this area.

The force applied through the jaws is 100 N.

After 1 h, the jaws are removed and the sample shall show no damage.
