4 Test
4.1 Overview
All tests in this standard are type tests performed on samples of equipment or equipment parts. The sole purpose is to check the design and structure of the equipment to ensure that it complies with the requirements of this standard. Equipment parts or components that meet the relevant standard requirements specified in this standard and are used in accordance with these requirements do not need to be tested repeatedly during the type test of the whole machine.
All tests should be carried out to determine that the equipment complies with the requirements of this standard, but if it can be determined after checking the equipment that the equipment can definitely pass the test, then this test can be omitted. The test is carried out under the following conditions: - Reference test conditions (see Clause 43)
- Fault conditions (see Clause 4.4).
1 If the rated range of environmental conditions of the equipment exceeds the range specified in Clauses 1 and 4, the manufacturer shall ensure that the equipment still meets the requirements of this standard (for example, by appropriately changing the test requirements or additional tests to ensure this). 2 If, when performing qualification tests, there is uncertainty in the applied or measured values (e.g. voltage) due to tolerances, then: - the manufacturer shall ensure that the applied values are at least the specified test values; the testing department shall ensure that the applied values are not greater than the specified test values. 3 Equipment that has been type tested may no longer be suitable for its intended function due to the residual influence of certain test stresses, so equipment that has been widely distributed should not be type tested (e.g. by the user). 4.2 Test sequence
Unless otherwise specified in this standard, the test sequence is optional. The equipment under test shall be carefully checked after each test. If there is any doubt about the results of previous tests that have been passed and the test sequence has been reversed, the previous tests shall be repeated.

4.4.3.1 The equipment shall continue to operate until the failure result cannot be changed further. Each test is generally limited to 1 hour, because the failure caused by the abnormal conditions simulated can usually show its effect within 1 hour. If at the end of 1 hour, the equipment shows signs of electric shock, flame spread or personal injury, the test shall be continued until the final result is obtained or the test is 4 hours.
4.4.3.2 For equipment that uses a device that interrupts or limits the temperature of accessible parts, the maximum temperature that the equipment can reach shall be measured regardless of whether the device operates or not. 4.4.3.3 If the fault is terminated by the operation of a fuse and the fuse does not operate within approximately 1 s, the current flowing through the fuse under the relevant fault conditions shall be measured. The pre-arcing time/current characteristics shall be evaluated to determine whether the minimum operating current of the fuse and the maximum time before the fuse operates have been reached or exceeded. It should also be noted that the current through the fuse will vary with time. If the minimum operating current of the fuse is not reached during the test, the operating time of the equipment under test shall correspond to the maximum fusing time or the continuous operating time specified in Clause 4.4.3.1. 4.4.4 Compliance

Note: The basic insulation test simulates a single fault condition of failure of one layer of double insulation or failure of part of reinforced insulation. 4.4.4.2 Compliance with the temperature requirements is checked by measuring the temperature of external surfaces or accessible parts. Except for the heated surfaces of heating equipment, the temperature of these parts shall not exceed 105°C when the ambient temperature is 40°C (see 1.4). The temperature is determined by measuring the temperature rise of the surface or part plus 40°C. 4.4.4.3 In order to determine whether the precautions against the spread of fire are satisfactory, the equipment under test, covered with gauze, shall be placed on a cork board covered with tissue paper. During the test, no molten metal, burning insulation, flaming particles, etc. shall fall onto the surface on which the equipment under test is placed, and tissue and gauze shall not carbonize, burn or catch fire. Melting of insulating materials that are not important according to the requirements of this standard shall be ignored. 4.4.4.4 Compliance with the requirements for protection against other hazards mentioned in Clause 1.2 shall be checked in accordance with Clauses 7 to 15. 5 Marking and Documentation

Examples of suitable indications that the input will be lower than 50V (ac) or 120V (dc) (to ground) in any case include: the full-scale deflection mark of a single-range indicating voltmeter or the maximum mark of a multi-range voltmeter; the maximum range mark of a voltage selector switch; the instrument's predetermined function mark (such as "millivoltmeter"). The mark should be marked near the terminal, but if there is not enough space (such as multi-input equipment), it can also be marked on the nameplate or dial, or the symbol 14 in Table 1 can be marked on the terminal.
Use visual inspection.
5.1.6 Terminals and operating devices
GB 4793. 1-1995
Where safety is concerned, terminals, connectors, controls and indicators shall be marked with words or symbols indicating their purpose, including the order of operation. If space is insufficient, symbol 14 in Table 1 may be used. Note: For additional information, see IEC445 "General rules for identification of equipment terminals and terminations of a particular conductor, including an alphanumeric system" and IEC447 "Standard direction of movement of actuators that control the operation of electrical equipment". The following terminals and operating devices shall be marked as specified: a) Functional earthing terminals shall be marked with symbol 5 in Table 1. b) Protective conductor terminals shall be marked with symbol 6 in Table 1, unless the protective conductor terminal The terminal is part of an approved power connector. This symbol should be close to the terminal or on the terminal.
c) For control circuit and measuring circuit terminals connected to accessible conductive parts in accordance with 6.6.3, where their connection is not obvious, use symbol 7 from Table 1.
Note: This symbol can also be used as a warning symbol to indicate that hazardous voltage should not be connected to this terminal. This symbol should be used where the operator may make such a connection without noticing.
d) Terminals that are powered by electricity from within the equipment and are hazardous live should be marked with voltage, current, charge or energy values or ranges, or marked with symbol 14 from Table 1. This clause applies to the use of standards Power sockets for power sockets are not applicable. e) For accessible functional earth terminals connected to accessible conductive parts, such connection shall be indicated unless it is obvious (see 5.6.2.2). Symbol 8 of Table 1 may be used as such marking. f) If there is a power switch or circuit breaker, its "on" or "off" position, or both, shall be clearly marked and suitable for identification of the device, see 6.12.3.1. Indicator lights cannot be considered as satisfactory marking. NOTE: Symbols 9 and 10 of Table 1 may be used for this purpose, but cannot be used to mark other switches, by self-visual inspection.
5.1.7 Protection by double insulation or reinforced insulation Equipment that is entirely protected by double insulation or reinforced insulation (see Annex H) shall be marked with symbol 11 of Table 1, except for equipment provided with a protective conductor terminal.
Equipment that is only partially protected by double insulation or reinforced insulation shall not be marked with this symbol. Visual inspection.
5.1.8 Battery charging
Equipment that has provisions for charging rechargeable batteries and in which non-rechargeable batteries can be loaded and connected in a battery compartment shall be marked on or near the battery compartment to prevent the charging of non-rechargeable batteries and to indicate the type of rechargeable battery used with the rechargeable circuit. Note: Symbol 14 of Table 1 is acceptable.
Visual inspection.
5.2 Warning markings
Equipment delivered for use shall have warning markings that are clearly visible. If the user needs to consult the instructions to know the protection provided by the equipment, the equipment shall be marked with symbol 14 of Table 1. If the warning applies to a specific part of the equipment, the mark shall be on or near that specific part. The warning should advise the operator to avoid contact with "hazardous live" parts that are classified as accessible according to 6.1.1. Terminals with a voltage of more than 1 kV provided by the machine or allowed to be connected to a voltage of more than 1 kV (see 6.6.2) should be marked with symbol 12 in Table 1.
Unless the heating state of the parts is obvious or can be seen from the function of the equipment, easily accessible parts that exceed the temperature limits of Table 3 allowed by 9.1 should be marked with symbol 13 in Table 1. If the danger (see 1.2) will continue for more than 2 seconds after the interlock system (see 15.1) is activated, the operator should be warned. NOTE
1 The safety warning should have a large contrast with the background color. 4028 Battery Charging
Equipment that has means for charging rechargeable batteries and that can be loaded and connected to a battery compartment with non-rechargeable batteries shall be marked on or near the compartment to prevent the charging of non-rechargeable batteries and to indicate the type of rechargeable battery to be used with the rechargeable circuit. Note: Symbol 14 in Table 1 is acceptable.
