IP Test Probe 31 and 32.

IP Test Probes 31 and 32 are used to verify the IP protection ratings of electrical equipment and enclosures. These probes are designed to assess risks such as contact with hazardous parts and the ingress of foreign objects, as defined by the IP rating system.

IP Test Probe 31 Specifications:

• IEC 61032 (Clause 6.1.1.4): The test device uses a 2.5 mm diameter probe to limit access to the internal parts of enclosures.

Standards:

• EN 60529: Used in IP rating tests, specifically for the IP2X protection level.
• UL 61010-1: Used for electrical devices, ensuring compliance with safety standards.

IP Test Probe 32 Specifications:

• IEC 61032 (Clause 6.1.1.3): This probe is 1.0 mm in diameter and is used for IP4X level protection tests.

Standards:

• EN 60529: Tests protection against ingress of small objects at the IP4X level.
• UL Standards: This probe is used to ensure compliance with international safety standards for electrical products.

Standard reference

IP Test Probes 31 and 32 are access probes defined in IEC 61032 (used with IEC 60529) to verify protection against access to hazardous parts by tools/wires for the higher access classes. The probe dimensions and applied force are specified by the standard.
