IEC 61032 Child Safety Test Probes 18 & 19
Leave a Message
The IEC 61032 Child Safety Test Probes 18 and 19 are specialized tools for evaluating equipment openings to prevent access to hazardous parts by children. These probes include two articulated designs: Probe 18 simulates the finger dimensions of children aged 37-96 months, while Probe 19 replicates the smaller digits of infants aged 0-36 months. Both feature flexible joints that mimic natural hand articulation and are constructed from conductive metal with a maximum resistance of 0.1Ω for detecting live electrical components. Insulated handles ensure operator safety during testing, and a standardized 10N thrust force replicates typical child contact pressure. Fully compliant with IEC 61032 requirements, these probes are essential for manufacturers of child-accessible equipment to validate safety designs and meet international regulatory standards.
