IEC 62262 Pendulum Impact Hammer Test Device.

IEC 62262 Pendulum Impact Hammer Test Device

The IEC 62262 Pendulum Impact Hammer Test Device is used to test the mechanical durability of external protective coatings and other sensitive surfaces of electrical equipment against mechanical impacts. This test is specifically designed to detect potential damage that may occur during accidental impacts or falls that could happen during handling by users. IEC 62262 simulates such impacts to assess the safety and durability of products.

Standard reference

IEC 62262 defines the IK code — the degree of protection of enclosures against external mechanical impacts. The pendulum (or spring/vertical) hammer delivers a defined impact energy (from IK01 ≈ 0.14 J up to IK10 ≈ 20 J); the enclosure must remain intact and continue to provide its protection after the impact.
