Test Procedures and Operation Steps For Tumbling Barrel Drop Test Machine:

Plug-ballast/transformers and mains socket-outlet-mounted luminaires shall have adequate mechanical strength.
Compliance is checked by the following test, which is made in a tumbling barrel as shown in Figure 25.
The barrel is turned at a rate of five revolutions per minute, ten falls per minute thus taking place.
The sample falls from a height of 50 cm onto a steel plate 3 mm thick, the number of falls being:
– 50 if the mass of the sample does not exceed 250 g;
– 25 if the mass of the sample exceeds 250 g.
After the test, the sample shall show no damage within the sense of this standard, but it need not be operative and any damage to the glass bulb shall be ignored. Provided that the protection against electric shock is not affected, small pieces which may have broken off the
sample are ignored.
Distortion of pins and damage to the finish and small dents which do not reduce the creepage distances or clearances below the values specified in Section 11 are ignored.
