Description
UL 60335-2-24 Figure 101 DVA 2 Test Probe is a precision-engineered safety testing instrument designed for evaluating hazardous part accessibility in kitchen appliance enclosures. This specialized tool features a rigid, curved stainless steel construction that simulates human hand access to confined spaces, applying a calibrated 50N ± 5N test force. It verifies whether appliance enclosures effectively prevent contact with hazardous components such as heating elements, ensuring compliance with international safety standards for kitchen appliance manufacturing quality control and certification.

Standardized Test Procedure
- De-energize the kitchen appliance under test and position it on a stable testing surface.
- Inspect the test probe for structural integrity, verifying absence of deformation, cracks, or component looseness.
- Align the probe working end with accessible enclosure apertures (e.g., door seams, ventilation gaps).
- Insert the probe and apply the specified 50N test force, maintaining application for 10-15 seconds.
- Document whether the probe contacts hazardous components, then clean the probe for subsequent testing.
Primary Applications
- Safety compliance testing for electric oven enclosures per UL 60335-2-24:2022 (North American market requirements).
- Hazardous part accessibility verification for electric cooktops per IEC 60335-2-24:2020 (international export compliance).
- Production quality control validation for kitchen grill enclosures to meet UL safety standards.
