This Malaysian Standard specifies details and dimensions of test probes intended to verify the protection provided by enclosures with regard to:
— protection of persons against access to hazardous parts inside the enclosure;
— protection of the equipment inside the enclosure against ingress of solid foreign objects.
The object of this International Standard is:
— to bring together in one publication object probes and access probes currently specified in other standards, together with any
necessary new probes;
— to guide technical Committees in the selection of test probes;
— to encourage those concerned to specify test probes in accordance with those already specified in this International Standard
rather than modify details and dimensions;
— to limit the further proliferation of types of test probe.
