It is identical with IEC Publication512-5:1992, Electromechanical components for electronic equipment; basic testing procedures and measuring methods Part5: Impact tests (freecomponents), static load tests (fixed components), endurance tests and overload tests published by the Internationa

10、l Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). which are withdrawn. It should be read in conjunction with Part1 General of BS5772:1985 (IEC512-1:1984) which contains information on fundamental test methods and procedures to be employed in implementing the requirements of this standard. The Technical Committee

11、 has reviewed the provisions of IEC65:1985 and IEC130-1:1988 to which reference is made in the text, and has decided that they are acceptable for use in conjunction with this standard. A related British Standard to IEC65:1985 is BS415:1990 Specification for safety requirements for mains-operated ele

12、ctronic and related apparatus for household and similar general use. A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract.

30、to a swivel. In many cases, however, simply attaching to a hook may be sufficient. The specimen shall be attached at one of the following preferred heights: A steel plate300mm 500mm(11,8in 19,7in) of25mm thickness shall be positioned so that the component under test will fall on to it.
