5.12.6 Dences having two or fewei pilot contacts that are also intended for use with an AWM cord or cable shall be additionally tested as described in Clauses 5.12.1 — 5.12.4 using the appliance wiring material (AWM) style as identified by the manufacturer,
5.13 Impact (plugs and connectors)
5.13.1 A rewireable plug or a connector shall be fitted with a length of the maximum size flexible cord or cable, as specified In the manufacturer’s Instructions, that corresponds to the rating of the device.
5.13.2 The free end of the cord or cable, which shall be approximately 2250 mm (90 inches) long, shall be fixed to a wall at a height of 750 mm (30 inches) above the floor, as shown in Figure 2.
5.13.3 The device shall be held so that the cord or cable is horizontal and then allowed to fall to a concrete floor eight times. The cord or cable shall be rotated through approximately 45° at Its point of fixing each time.
5.13.4 A device employing a nonmetallic enclosure or an enclosure of a zinc-based alloy shall be conditioned for 6 hours in air maintained at —25 ±1CC (—13 ±1.8°F) prior to the test. Immediately following removal from the conditioning chamber, the devices shall be subjected to the impacts as described m Clauses 5.13.1 — 5.13.3.
5.13.5 As a result of the applied impacts specified in Clause 5.13.3, there shall be no cracking or breakage. deformation, loosening or detachment of parts, or other adverse effect that results in any of the following:
a) Making uninsulated live parts or internal wiring accessible to contact by the probe illustrated in Figure 1. See Clause 4.8.3;
b) Defeating the integrity of the enclosure so that acceptable mechanical protection is not afforded to the internal parts of the device or polarization of the device Is defeated. Cracks, chips, and dents that do not adversely affect the protection against electric shock or moisture shall be disregarded:
C) Interference with the operation, function, or installation of the device. The locking retaining means used to hold mating devices together is not prohibited from sustaining damage if it does not interfere with the operation or function of the devices or If It is obvious that they are damaged and must be replaced;
d) A condition that results in the device not complying with the strain relief requirements, if applicable;
e) A reduction of clearances and creepage distances between uninsulated live parts of opposite polarity, uninsulated live parts and accessible dead or grounded metal below the minimum acceptable values: and
f) Any other evidence of damage thai could increase the risk of fire or electric shock.
5.14.3 A device employing a nonmetallic enclosure or an enclosure of a zinc-based alloy shall be condilioned for 6 hours en air maintained at —25 ±1°C (—13 ±1.8°F) prior to the test. Immediately following removal from the conditioning chamber, the devices shall be subject to the crushing force as described in Clauses 5.141 — 5.14.2.
5.14.4 As a result of the applied force specified in Clause 5.14.1, there shall not be any cracking or breakage. deformation, or other adverse effect that results in any of the following:
a) Making uninsulated live parts or internal wiring accessible to contact by the probe illustrated in Figure 1. See Clause 4.8.3.
b) Defeating the integrity of the enclosure so that acceptable mechanical protection is not afforded to the internal parts of the device or polanzalion of the device is defeated
C) Interference with the operation, function or installation of the device. The locking retaining means used to hold mating devices together may sustain damage if it does not interfere with the operation or function of the devices or it is obvious they are damaged and must be replaced.
d) A condition that results In the device not complying with the strain relief requirements, If applicable.
e) A reduction of clearances and creepage distances between uninsulated live parts of opposite polarity, uninsulated live parts and accessible dead or grounded metal below the minimum acceptable values.
f) Any other evidence of damage that could increase the risk of fire or electric shock.
5.14.5 Immediately following the completion of this test, the devices shall be subjected to a repeated Dielectric Voltage-Withstand test as described in Clause 5.10.
