IEC 62368-1:2018 Annex T.6 Figure T.1 Steel Ball Impact Test For Enclosure

LS-B33 IEC 62368-1:2018 Annex T.6 Figure T.1 Steel Ball Impact Test For Enclosure is used to test the drop impact resistance of equipment housings, providing support for verifying the mechanical protection capabilities of product housings. This apparatus can perform two test modes: vertical drop impact and swinging horizontal impact. It simulates collision and impact scenarios that equipment housings may encounter during actual use and transportation by dropping or swinging steel balls of specific specifications from a set height. During the test, the impact energy and contact method of the steel balls strictly adhere to relevant requirements. By observing whether the equipment housing shows damage such as breakage or cracking after the impact, which affects safety, the apparatus determines whether its impact resistance meets the standards, helping to ensure the structural reliability of the product throughout its entire life cycle.

Standards:

Specification：
• Impact steel ball: Φ50mm, 500±25g or 510g (other specifications of steel balls can be customized)
• Drop height: 0.5~1.5m adjustable

Typical Applications:
• Information technology equipment manufacturers conduct pre-shipment impact resistance testing on equipment housings.
• Lighting fixture manufacturers conduct impact resistance compliance testing on lighting fixture housings to ensure product safety.
• Third-party testing organizations provide impact performance testing and certification services for various equipment housings according to relevant standards.
• During the product development stage, impact resistance verification is performed on the structural design of equipment housings to optimize material and structural strength.
• Quality supervision departments conduct random impact performance testing on enclosed electronic and electrical products circulating in the market.
• Laboratory institutions conduct specialized testing and technical research on the mechanical protection performance of equipment housings.
