AS NZS 60598.2.12:2015 pdf free.Part 2.12: Particular requirements – Mains socket-outlet mounted nightlights
The means of retention of any cover on a mains socket-outlet mounted nightlight shall be such that the cover cannot be removed when the mains socket-outlet mounted nightlight is inserted in a corresponding socket-outlet. Any cover fixing screw shall be captive or,alternatively, where lamp replacement is not to be undertaken by the user, be of a special type requiring the use of a special tool.
Compliance is checked by inserting the mains socket-outlet mounted nightlight into a socket-outlet complying with the relevant standard sheet of IEC/TR 60083. The socket-outlet is then pivoted about its horizontal axis, 8 mm behind its engagement face and parallel with it, with its centre equidistant from pin centres. The aditional torque which has to be applied to the socket-outlet to maintain the engagement face in the vertical plane shall not be greater than 0,25 Nm.
Compliance is checked by placing the sample on a white tissue-paper-covered pine wood surface,the sample in turn covered with a single layer of bleached cotton cheesecloth in accordance with IEC 60950-1 and connected to a supply circuit of rated voltage. The earth terminal, if any, shall be connected to the supply neutral and any switch in the ‘ON’ position.The sample is then submitted to 10 applications of a 3kV 1, 2/50 us surge impulse at approximately 60 s intervals. Each application of surge voltage is to be random with respect to polarity. The sample shall show no risk of fire or electric shock.
A risk of electric shock is considered to exist if:
a) there is glowing, charring or ignition of the cheesecloth or tissue-paper; or
b) there is breakdown of the insulation between live parts of the panel and accessible metal parts during test or when submitted to the electric withstand test of Section 10 of IEC 60598-1.
For mains socket- outlet mounted nightlights incorporating a socket outlet, the test of 4.14.6 of IEC 60598-1 shall be performed in such a way that the incorporated socket-outlet shall be fitted with a relevant plug complete with 1 m of 0,75 mm2 circular flexible cable according to IEC 60227 (designation 60227 IEC 52, the number of conductors should be the same as that of the poles of the relevant plug, see IEC 60884-1).AS NZS 60598.2.12 pdf free.
