EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of IEC EN 60169-1 testing. It serves as a general specification that provides the basis for cross-section standards applicable to individual connector types.
It establishes uniform concepts and procedures regarding:
This section contains a description of electrical and mechanical measurement methods, environmental conditioning, and test procedures to be used specifically for type testing but also applicable for other testing purposes. In general, no requirements are specified directly. However, where appropriate, one or more preferred degrees of importance are given.
The relevant standard will specify the tests, measurement methods and procedures required for a particular product, taken from the tests library in this section, together with their appropriate severity and requirements.
For technical reasons some tests have to be performed on the same samples in a specific order. Separate samples may be required for different sequences. Also, for some tests it is an economic measure to set up appropriate test batches, as samples are subject to a process that prevents them from being sold.
According to the schedule, all samples of a test specimen must be submitted to the first test group. The sample is then subdivided into the required number of equal subsamples consisting of at least four pairs of connectors, unless otherwise specified.
The contact resistance should normally be calculated from the measured potential difference between the current and the points where the cables are intended to be connected. The contact must be established before the current is turned on. If connection points close enough to the contact cannot be reached to measure the potential difference, corrections must be made for the length of the wire or cable in series with the contact.
