operator.
TEST METHOD
Stability is tested by tilting the equipment to 10°. It must not overbalance. In addition, floor standing equipment is tested by applying a
downward force of 800N on horizontal working surfaces l m or less from the floor. Also floor standing equipment weighing more than 25 kg is testing by applying a force of
20% of its weight, up to 250N in any direction except upwards. The equipment must not overbalance during these tests.
REFERENCEComplete requirements are given in IEC 60950, Clause 4.1 (4.1.1).
