31、echanical stresses occurring in normal use. Boxes and enclosures with provision for suspension means according to 7.101.1 shall comply with the requirements in 15.101.1 and 15.101.2; 7.101.2 shall comply with the requirements in 15.101.3. 15.101.1 Boxes and enclosures which are intended for suspensi
32、on of loads from a ceiling shall withstand a test force of 250 N or the higher test force Y declared by the manufacturer. Compliance is checked by the following test. The specimen is fitted with a suspension means and installed as for normal use according to the manufacturers instructions, any screw
33、 being tightened to two-thirds of the torque given in the relevant column of Table 4. Greater values of torque may be used if so declared by the manufacturer, when the relevant information is provided. 7 EN 60670-21:2007 The suspension means is then loaded with a weight of (250 5) N or with a weight
34、 (Y 2 %) N declared by the manufacturer, whichever is the higher, for 24 h. For boxes and enclosures according to 7.1.1 and 7.1.3 the test is performed in a heating cabinet at (90 2)C. During the test, the box and the enclosure or the suspension means shall not become detached and the specimen shall
35、 show no damage which leads to non-compliance with this standard. 15.101.2 Boxes and enclosures which are intended to be used in or on a wall shall withstand a test force of 100 N or the higher test force Y declared by the manufacturer. NOTE 1 This means may be screws otherwise intended for fixing a
36、 part of the box, for example the cover or cover plate. NOTE 2 In the following countries there is no requirement for all suspension means to withstand 100 N: UK. Compliance is checked by inspection and by the following test. The box or the enclosure including covers and cover plates (if any) shall
37、be installed as for normal use according to the manufacturers instructions and shall be placed in a heating cabinet, any screw being tightened to two-thirds of the torque given in the relevant column of Table 4. A force, equally distributed between each means if more than one, of (100 5) N or of (Y
38、2 %) N declared by the manufacturer, is then applied for 24 h at (40 2)C perpendicularly to the wall. For boxes and enclosures according to 7.1.1 and 7.1.3 the test is performed at (40 2)C. During the test, the box or enclosure or the suspension means shall not become detached and the specimen shall
39、 show no damage which leads to non-compliance with this standard. 15.101.3 Boxes and enclosures which are intended to support a ceiling fan shall withstand the thermal and mechanical stress occurring in normal use. During the test the box or enclosure or its supporting means shall not be pulled loos
40、e from the test structure when subjected to the following tests. One specimen shall be tested in each of the horizontal and inclined positions. A specimen shall be mounted in accordance with the manufacturers instructions to a supporting test structure so as to be tested while both in a horizontal p

A test fan having four blades with a diameter of (1 320 25) mm, weighing or ballasted to a weight of (155 5) N (corresponding to a mass of (15,
42、8 0,5) kg) or the rated load Y declared by the manufacturer, whichever is higher, shall be used for the tests. A 0,392 N (corresponding to a mass of 40 g) imbalance shall be placed at the centre of gravity of one blade, measured independently from the test fan. EN 60670-21:2007 8 The test fan shall
43、be provided with a downrod of rigid metal pipe of a length sufficient to position the lower end of the fan blades (305 25) mm below the surface of the ceiling after mounting. The downrod shall be welded at the upper end to a 7,9 mm thick fan mounting bracket. The test fan mounting bracket shall be s
44、ecured to the box or enclosure in accordance with the manufacturers instructions. Screws or nuts shall be tightened with a torque given in the relevant column in Table 4. A universal type joint mounting construction shall not be used for the test. The fan motor shall be such that the speed can be co
45、ntrolled. The speed of the test fan shall be adjusted to maintain a blade tip speed of 1 220 m/min (294 r/min). The blade pitch shall be reduced to a minimum. The fan shall operate continuously at the prescribed speed for (24 ) h. 10+At the end of the 24 h, one of the cover retaining screws or nuts
46、shall be loosened two full turns and the fan shall operate as specified for an additional 24 h for each mounting condition, horizontal and inclined. This additional test is not required for constructions that employ cover retaining or fan mounting screws with captive, locking type washers or locknut
