IP Test Probe 12 and 13

IP Test Probes 12 and 13 are specifically designed to assess the safety of electrical equipment by testing access to hazardous parts, particularly live electrical components. These probes help determine whether humans or tools can reach these dangerous areas.

IP Test Probe 12 Specifications:

• Dimensions: 4 mm diameter, 50 mm length
• Application: Used to test access to live electrical parts with a tool (e.g., a screwdriver).

IP Test Probe 13 Specifications:

• Dimensions: 3 mm head diameter, 4 mm tail diameter, 15 mm length
• Application: Similar to Probe 12, it is used to test the safety level of devices and their protection against access to hazardous parts.

Applicable Standards:

• IEC 61032: Regulates the design and use of test probe devices to meet safety requirements for access to dangerous components.
• EN 61032: European standard ensuring correct use of test probes in line with IEC 61032.
• IEC 60065 and IEC 60335-1: Specifies safety requirements for electrical household and heating appliances, ensuring probe compliance.
• IEC 60950: Defines safety requirements for IT equipment, ensuring test probes are compatible with such devices.
