Electrical safety testing simulates and evaluates the safe usage of products by people or undeliberate contact with animals. Safety Requests of each device are standardized mostly via Harmonized Standards.
All devices using radio spectrum or higher voltages during the work need to comply with LVD. Special care should be taken when the manufacturer is constructing the devices which are used by children, older people, people with special needs, or anyone unaware of the danger caused by the usage of the electrical products.
Some of the tested products relate to IT equipment, measurement equipment, lamps, household appliances, etc.
The most common tests include:
- Input current, voltage, and power measurements
- Testing with various probes
- Protection against access to live parts
- Heating measurements
- Leakage current measurement
- Electric strength testing
- Stability and mechanical hazard testing
- Glow-wire testing
- Screw and connections checking
- Mechanical strength testing
- Electromagnetic fields exposure assessment
- Risk assessment
- Other relevant tests
