Classification of the test probes

According to their designation, the test probes can be classified as:

1) IP code probes

2) Other probes

According to the kind of protection they are intended to check:

1) Access probes

2) Object probes

According to the specific hazard they are intended to check:

1) Probes mainly intended to be used to verify the protection of persons against access to hazardous live parts or hazardous mechanical parts.

2) Probes specifically intended to be used to verify the protection of persons against access to hazardous mechanical parts.

3) Probes mainly intended to be used to verify the protection of persons against access to internal parts involving thermal hazard, for instance internal hot or glowing parts.

4) Probes intended to be used to verify the protection of equipment against ingress of solid foreign objects.

Definitions

Access probe: a test probe simulating in a conventional manner a part a person or a tool, or the like , held by a person to verify adequate clearance from hazardous parts.

Object probe: a test probe simulating a solid foreign object to verify the possibility of ingress into an enclosure.

IP code probe: a test probe to verify the degrees of protection specified in IEC60529.

Other probe: a test probe, different from IP code probes.

Adequate clearance for protection against access to hazardous parts: a distance to prevent contact or approach of an access probe to a hazardous part.
