Small Probe Test of UL498 Figure 132.1
Probe Test
A tamper-resistant receptacle shall not permit contact to be made between the probe test shown in Figure 132.1 and Figure 132.2 and any live part of the receptacle through the outlet slots when tested as described in this section.
Twelve previously untested devices are to be used for this test. The probe test shown in Figure 132.1 is to be applied to each of the outlet slot openings of the receptacle with a force of 8 ounces (2.2N) in an attempt to bypass the tamper-resistance mechanism. A suitable indicating device (such as an ohmmeter, battery-and-buzzer combination, or the like) is to be connected between the probe and the wiring terminal of the outlet slot being tested to determine whether contact is made.
Small Probe Test of UL498 Figure 132.1
The probe test is to be manipulated in the outlet slots in any orientation that may permit access to live parts within the receptacle.
Twelve devices previously tested in 132.2 are to be used for this test. The probe test shown in Figure 132.2 is to be applied to each of the outlet slot openings of the receptacle with a force of 10 pounds (45N) in an attempt to bypass the tamper-resistance mechanism. A suitable indicating device (such as an ohmmeter, battery-and-buzzer combination, or the like) is to be connected between the probe and the wiring terminal of the outlet slot being tested to determine whether contact is made.
The probe test is to be inserted in the outlet slots successively in three directions in any orientation that may permit access to live parts within the receptacle. The probe is applied for approximately 5 seconds in each of the three directions. During each application the gauge shall not be moved or rotated and shall be withdrawn when moving from one direction to the next.

What are the differences of FMVSS 302, UL94 and IEC60695 for flammability test?

Image
The flammability of different materials, such as plastics and other materials used in items such as automobile interiors, electronic devices, and electrical appliances, is evaluated using a number of different standards. Some of these standards are FMVSS 302, UL 94, and IEC 60695. Nevertheless, there are a number of important distinctions between these standards: FMVSS 302 is a specialized standard that was designed for the automotive industry to analyze the flammability of materials used in car interiors. Its purpose is to measure the combustibility of these materials. The UL 94 standard is a more comprehensive regulation that assesses the combustibility of a variety of materials, including plastics, and has applications in a number of different sectors. IEC 60695 is a global standard that is used in the process of assessing the potential for electronic and electrical equipment to catch fire. Testing Procedures The flammability of materials is determined using a variety of testing

Accessible parts of equipment with standard IEC 62368 General An accessible part of an equipment is a part that can be touched by a body part. For the purposes of dctermining an accessible part, a body part is represented by one or more of the specified test probes. Accessible parts of an equipment can include parts behind a door, panel, removable cover, etc. that can be opened without the use of a tool. Accessible parts do not include those that become accessible when floor standing equipment having a mass exceeding 40 kg is tilted. For equipment intended for building-in or rack-mounting, or for subassemblies and the like for incorporation in larger equipment,accessible parts do not include those that are not accessible when the equipment or subassembly is installed according to the method of mounting or installation specified in the installation instructions. A part is considered accessible if the instructions or markings intended to be followed require that a person phys

125 Grounding Contact Test 125.1 Grounding receptacles having a 5-15R,5-20R，6-13R，6-20R，7-15R，14-15Ror 15-15R configuration are to be subjected to the tests in this section. 125.2 Previously untested devices are to be used. Each device is to be mounted in a flush device box, or as otherwise intended, with its face in a vertical plane. A nonmetallic faceplate is to be installed if intended. A solid 14 AWG (2.1 mm2) copper conductor is to be connected to the receptacle grounding terminal. GNGPL SB1610_AL 125.3 With the receptacle oriented to create the maximum contact displacement (possible distortion of contact affecting its contact ability), the test pin A. Figure 125.1 is to be fully inserted in the grounding contact. A 5 lb (2.27 kg) weight is to be gradually suspended form the test pin 6 inches (152 mm) from the face of the receptacle. The weight is to be applied for 1 minute, following which, the weight is to be removed. The application of the weight is to be repeated with the rece
