Calibre pour vérifier la non-accessibilité aux parties actives, à travers les obturateurs with NFC 61-314 Figure 9

Specifications:
• Probe Type: NFC 61-314 Figure 9 Test Probe (hazardous part access verification tool)
• Material : Probe Body: Stainless steel (corrosion-resistant, rigid for dimensional stability)
• Handle: Nylon (insulating, heat-resistant, non-slip for safe operation)
• Key Dimensions:
– Probe Diameter: 5 mm ± 0.1 mm
– Total Length: 120 mm ± 0.2 mm
– Probe Tip: Hemispherical, radius 2.5 mm ± 0.05 mm (smooth to avoid enclosure damage)
• Core Function: Verifies inaccessibility of hazardous live/mechanical parts in electrical equipment per NFC 61-314
• Applied Force: No appreciable force (mimics light, accidental user contact with equipment)

Test Procedures:
• Inspect the probe for damage (e.g., bent steel body, cracked nylon handle) that could skew results.
• Power on the electrical equipment and let it reach normal operating mode.
• Hold the handle and align the probe’s tip with potential access points (e.g., vents, control gaps).
• Gently guide the probe toward internal hazardous parts (e.g., live wires, rotating components).
• Check if the probe touches any dangerous elements.
• Record whether the equipment meets NFC 61-314 safety requirements (pass/fail).

Applications:
• Safety testing of household appliances (e.g., washing machines, electric ovens) for French market compliance (NFC 61-314:2020 Figure 9).
• Compliance checks for small industrial electrical tools (e.g., workshop drills) sold in EU French-speaking regions.
• Verification of commercial kitchen equipment (e.g., electric griddles) to block access to hot or live parts.
• Quality control for home medical auxiliary devices (e.g., portable oxygen concentrators) meeting French safety standards.
• Post-production audits of consumer electronics (e.g., space heaters) targeting France, Belgium, or Switzerland.
