Application

Plugs shall be tested for pin movement by clamping the pin or pins not under test in a rigid

holding block positioned 5±0.5 mm from the plug face and applying force of 18±1N to

the pin under test. The design of the block shall be such that the pin under test shall not

come into contact with the block during the test

Except for non-rewireable plugs, the test shall be carried out without a cord attached to the

plug, and with the terminal screws loosened sufficiently to allow 1 mm2 conductor to be

connected.

The plug and test equipment shall be preconditioned at temperature of 40±1 degree for 1h

without the test force applied. Throughout the test, all parts of the plug and test equipment

shall be maintained at this temperature.

For all plugs, the point of application of the force shall be 140.5 mm from the face of the

plug along the pins, and the direction of the force shall be

(a) in both directions along the line perpendicular to the plane of the pin, and passing

through the centre of the pin; and

(b)in that plane in both directions along a line at right angles to that specified in

Item (a)

Over a period of 10 s, the force shall be gradually applied to each of the pins in the manner

prescribed in Items (a)and (b), maintained at its maximum value for 10 s, and then

released. The deflection of the pins shall be measured along the line of force relative to the

face of the rigid holding block during the period when the force is applied. The maximum

deflection shall not exceed 2.0 mm.

Following the test on all pins of a plug conforming to Figure 2.1, any distortion 5 min after

the completion of the test on the last pin shall be such that it will not prevent the plug from

being inserted in the appropriate standard gauges shown in Appendix A, Appendix and

Appendix F without the application of undue forcc

For other types of plugs, any distortion after 5 min shall be such that will not prevent the

plug being inserted into an appropriate socket-outlet without the application of undue force.
