IEC 60670-1:2024 High And Low Pendulum Hammer Impact Test Apparatus
This test apparatus is designed for impact resistance testing of household and similar electronic and electrical products and their accessories, including plugs, sockets, wall-mounted mounting boxes, screw glands, covers, switches, and lamps. The equipment assesses product safety performance and strength levels.
Compliance Standards
- IEC60068-2-75:2014 "Environment testing for electric and electronic products Part2: Test methods - Test Eh: Hammer tests IDT"
- IEC60598-1:2017 "Luminaries-Part1: General requirements and tests"
- EC62262:2002 "Degrees of protection provided by enclosures for electrical equipment against external mechanical impacts (IK code)"
- IEC 60670-1:2024 "Boxes and enclosures for electrical accessories for household and similar fixed electrical installations - Part 1: General requirements" figure 23
Structural Design
The high-energy pendulum impact test device features a trolley structure with left-right mobility. Upper and lower impact point heights are adjustable via screw guide mechanisms, with impact angles adjustable from 0 to 90°. The striking element is released from specific heights through a 1-meter pendulum tube, impacting specimens at the lowest vertical point. This converts gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy for effective impact testing.

Note 1: If higher impact energy is required, the recommended value is 50J.
Note 2: Some other standards use a single digit to indicate the specified impact energy. To avoid mixing with it, the feature number is represented by two digits.
