Tracking Test

IEC 60112, applicable to all product standards where the test is called up.

29th March 2010

30th of each month

This program is "check sample" (CSP) format.  Six short rounds will be conducted at monthly intervals. Each round involves performing 2 tracking tests at specified voltages where tracking (including number of drops to tracking), ignition, and depth of erosion are reported).  Each round report will be issued within 10 working days of the due date, allowing participants to gauge their performance before the next round. The final report summarises all rounds.

Date is tentative

 

 

 

 

A

The program will be issued to all test laboratories at the same time. Samples do not need to be returned

B

The design of the program is as a measurement program. Participants will be split into smaller groups and will each test one or more samples. After testing, the samples are to be returned so that they can be shipped to the next laboratory.

Purpose of program

For IECEE CB test laboratories: This program will be compulsory for laboratories enrolled in the IECEE CB scheme if they have not participated in this topic within the previous 3 years. Enrollment preference will be given to IECEE CB test laboratories. However any other laboratory may join the program.

 

Directed to manufacturing laboratories: The program is intended for laboratories associated with manufacturers. The program design will be similar to one that has previously been operated for CB test laboratories. Any laboratory may join.

 

Designed for Independent test laboratories: The program has been requested by a group of independent laboratories, and is supported by this group. The program is open to any laboratory wishing to participate.
