IEC 62368-1 Figure 20 Test Hook

Equipment containing coin or button cell batteries of IEC 62368-1
Tests
Test sequence
One sample shall be subjected to the applicable tests of 4.8.4.2 to 4.8.4.6. If applicable, the test in 4.8.4.2 shall be conducted first.
Stress relief test

If the battery compartment utilizes moulded or formed thermoplastic materials, the sample consisting of the complete equipment, or of the complete enclosure together with any supporting framework, is tested according to the stress relief test of Clause T.8.

During the test, the battery may be removed.

Battery replacement test
For equipment with a battery compartment door or cover, the battery compartment shall be opened and closed and the battery removed and replaced ten times to simulate normal replacement according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

If the battery compartment door or cover is secured by one or more screws, the screws are loosened and then tightened applying a continuous linear torque according to Table 36, using a suitable screwdriver, spanner or key. The screws shall be completely removed and reinserted each time.

Drop test
Portable equipment having a mass of 7 kg or less are subjected to three drops from a height of 1 m onto a horizontal surface in positions likely to produce the maximum force on the battery compartment in accordance with Clause T.7.
If the equipment is a remote control, it shall be subjected to ten drops.

Impact test
The battery compartment door or cover shall be subjected to three impacts in a direction perpendicular to the battery compartment door or cover according to the test method of
Clause T.6 with a force of:
– 0.5 J (102 mm ± 10 mm height) for glasses for watching, for example, 3 dimensional television; or
– 2J(408 mm±10 mm height) for all other doors or covers.

Crush test
Hand-held remote control devices shall be supported by a fixed rigid supporting surface in a position likely to produce the most adverse results as long as the position can be selfsupported. A crushing force of 330 N ± 5 N is applied to the exposed top and bottom surfaces of remote control devices placed in a stable condition by a flat rigid surface measuring approximately
100 mm by 250 mm for a period of 10 s.

Compliance criteria
Compliance is checked by applying a force of 30 N ± 1 N for 10 s to the battery compartment door or cover by the straight unjointed version of the test probe of Figure V.1 at the most unfavourable place and in the most unfavourable direction. The force shall be applied in one direction at a time.
The battery compartment door or cover shall remain functional, and:
– the battery shall not become accessible; or SU
– it shall not be possible remove the battery from the product with the test hook of Figure 20 using a force of approximately 20 N.
