5 Tests
5.1 General
The present standard provides testing provisions to demonstrate compliance of the product to the requirements of Clause 4. These testing provisions are primarily intended to be used as type tests for validation of the design input. Where relevant, alternative means (calculation, examination, tests. etc., are specified within the test subclauses for the purpose of devices having completed the production phase.
To show compliance with this part of the standard, the manufacturer shall prove that the type tests referred to in Tables C.1 and C.2 have been successfully carried out on at least three devices ol each type-
However, when differences between various types of devices are limited In number, tests that are unaffected by the differing characteristics of the device can be carried Out Ofl a single type of device and the results can be used for the olher types of device.
The tests referred to in Tables C.1 and C.2 shall be performed in the specified numbered order.
The required values of mechanical forces specified In Clause 5 shall be reached using a rate of increase between I % and 10 % of the rated force per second. The forces shall be applied with an accuracy of ±5 %.
NOTE For exantpe, If the rated tensile force stated by the manufacturer for a given tool ii F
— tOO N, the raie of Increase will be between I N’s and 10 Ni and the applied force to the device wilt be between 93 N and 105 N
The dimensions specified in mm in Clause 5 shall be verified with an accuracy of t2 %. Unless otherwise specified, room temperature shall be (25 ± 10) °C.
When visual inspection is specified, it shall be understood to be visual inspection by a person
with normal or corrected vision without additional magnification.
5.2 Visual Inspection
Each device shall be visually inspected to detect manufacturing defaults and to check proper functioning and compliance with requirements included in 4.3, 4.4 and 4.5 where applicable
5.3 Dimensional check
Each device shall be measured to ensure that its dimensions match the manulacturer’s rated dimensions.
5.4 Compatibility check
It shall be verified by attaching each attachment system that each type fits properly and securely on the stick for which it has been designed for.
5.5 DurabIlity of marking
The durability of the marking shall be verified by thoroughly cleaning the marking for at least 1 mm with a piece of lint-free cloth dampened with water and then rubbing it vigorously for a further minimum of 1 mm with a piece of lint-free cloth dampened with is opropanol
(CH3-CH(OH)-CH3),
A torque shall be applied around the axis of the universal hand slick or hook stick and progressively increased up to a value of 1,25 TN and then maintained at this value for a period of not less than 1 mm.
The test shall be considered as passed if no visible sign of damage is seen during a visual inspection after the test
The torque shall be applied again in the same manner as above using a maximum value of torque of 2.5 TN and then maintained at this value for a period of not less than 1 mm.
The test shall be considered as passed if no permanent deformation or breakage is seen during a visual inspection after the test.
5.6.1.2 TensIon of the adaptor
The adaptor shall be fitted to a slick for which it is designed, and the assembly shall be attached to the test part shown in Figure 1. The wing screw shall be tightened with a torque of 3 N.m.
