Introduction:
IEC60884-1：2002+2006 clause 24.19 The shrouds of portable socket-outlets are subjected to a compression test at an ambient temperature of (25 ± 5) °C in an apparatus similar to that shown in Figure 38.
The apparatus comprises two steel jaws, having a cylindrical face of 25 mm radius, a width of 15 mm and a length of 50 mm. The length of 50 mm can be increased, depending on the size of the accessory to be tested.
The corners are rounded with a radius of 2,5 mm.The specimens are clamped in such a way that the front face of the jaws coincides with the
front face of the shroud. The force applied through the jaws is (20 ± 2) N.After 1 min, and while the shrouds are still under pressure, the dimensions shall comply with the appropriate standard sheet. The test is repeated with the specimen rotated 90°
