IP Test Probe 18 and 19

IP Test Probes 18 and 19 are used to test the protection of electrical devices and enclosures against access to dangerous parts by humans, particularly children. These probes simulate the potential access that children may have to hazardous components, ensuring devices meet safety standards to prevent injury.

IP Test Probe 18 Specifications:

• Target Group: Simulates access to dangerous parts by children aged 36 months to 14 years.

IP Test Probe 19 Specifications:

• Target Group: Simulates access to dangerous parts by children under 36 months of age.

Applicable Standards:

• IEC 61032 (Clause 6.2.2.f and 6.2.2.g): Defines the test conditions for protecting children from dangerous parts.
• EN 60529 and IEC 60335-1: Used to assess the protection levels of devices, ensuring child safety by preventing access to hazardous components.

Probes 18 and 19 are defined in IEC 60529 for IP ingress (access) testing.

Standard reference

IP Test Probes 18 and 19 are access probes defined in IEC 61032 (referenced by IEC 60529). They verify protection against access to hazardous parts for lower access classes (e.g. back-of-hand / large probe), confirming that children or personnel cannot reach live or moving parts. Probe size and test force follow the standard.
