IEC 62133 Clause 8.2 Fig.2 Small Cell Ingestion Gauge For Child Safety

Ensuring battery safety is critical, especially for products that may be accessible to young children. In this video, we demonstrate how to use the IEC 62133 Small Cell Gauge to determine whether cylindrical cells, button batteries, coin batteries, and other small batteries comply with international child safety requirements.

This professional testing gauge is designed to evaluate whether a battery or small cell can fit entirely inside the specified test gauge. If the battery passes completely through the gauge, it may present a swallowing hazard for children under 36 months of age. Manufacturers can use this test during product design, quality inspection, and certification to verify compliance with international safety regulations.

The gauge complies with multiple international standards, including:

• IEC 62133-1:2017 Clause 8.2, Clause 10 & Figure 2
• IEC 62133-2:2017 Clause 8.2
• ISO 8124-1 Clause 5.2 & Figure 22
• IEC 60086-1:2015 Clause 3.20
• IEC 60086-4:2019 Clause 7.2 & Figure 8
• IEC 60086-5:2016 Clause 7.1 & Figure 7

• Step-by-step operation of the Small Cell Gauge
• How to position different battery types correctly
• Practical testing examples with cylindrical and button batteries
• How to judge whether a battery meets child safety dimensional requirements
• Fast, repeatable testing suitable for production lines and laboratories

This testing gauge is widely used by:

• Battery manufacturers
• Consumer electronics manufacturers
• Toy manufacturers
• Children's product manufacturers
• Third-party testing laboratories
• Quality inspection departments
• Certification organizations
• R&D laboratories

• Precision-machined according to international standards
• Easy and intuitive operation
• Accurate dimensional verification
• Durable stainless-steel construction
• Suitable for routine inspection and certification testing
• Reliable results with excellent repeatability

Whether you are manufacturing lithium batteries, alkaline batteries, rechargeable batteries, or children's electronic products, this gauge helps verify compliance before products enter the market, reducing safety risks and supporting international certification.
