BS1363 of British Standard Plugs Socket Outlets Gauges
This part of BS 1363 specifies requirements for 13 A switched and unswitched shuttered socket-outlets for household, commercial and light industrial purposes, with particular reference to safety in normal use. The socket-outlets are suitable for the connection of appliances, sound vision equipment, luminaires, etc. in a.c. circuits only, operating at voltages not exceeding 250 Vr.m.s. and frequencies from 50 Hz to 60 Hz using plugs in accordance with BS1363-1:2023. Additional requirements are included for socket-outlets suitable for electric vehicle charging.
 
GNGPL BS1363_AL
Requirements are specified for 13 A shuttered socket-outlets in single or multiple arrangements, with or without associated controlling switches, for flush mounting in suitable boxes, e.g. conforming to BS 4662:2006+A1:2009, or for surface or panel mounting or for portable use. Fixed socket-outlets are intended for use with cables conforming to BS 6004:2012+A1:2020 and cables to the relevant part of BS EN 50525, having copper conductors. Portable socket-outlets are intended for use with flexible cables conforming to the relevant part of BS EN 50525. Socket-outlets incorporating fuse links, Circuit Breakers for Equipment (CBE), switches and indicator lamps are included within the scope of this part of BS 1363. Socket-outlets incorporating electronic components as detailed in Annex A are included within the scope of this part of BS 1363.
This standard does not apply to socket-outlets incorporating screwless terminals for the connection of external conductors of the following types:
a) insulation-piercing connecting devices; or
b) twist-on connecting devices.
Socket-outlets conforming to this standard are shuttered and therefore do not require the use of additional means to shield the current carrying contacts when no plug is present in the socket-outlet.
Certain installations require the inclusion of intumescent and acoustic pads and this might have an effect on the conformance of the socket-outlet to the requirements of this standard. This might influence temperature rise and internal clearances. Verification of suitability of the socket-outlet needs to be obtained from the manufacturer.
1. Application:
This plug and socket test gauge is mainly used to test and inspect whether the structure and size of plugs and sockets conform to BS 1363 standards. And the mainly application industries is electronics, electrical appliances, plugs and sockets and other similar areas.
2. Features:
Gauge dimensions, tolerances, material, hardness, surface roughness conform to the standards requirements;
Material hardness is more than 50HRC; Material thermal expansion coefficient is small,dimensions and tolerances is stable and reliable.

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 ...

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...

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...
