This International Standard specifies the details and dimensions of inspection probes for verifying the enclosure protection of electromechanical equipment:
——Personal protection against access to dangerous areas inside the enclosure. —Protection of equipment inside the enclosure against solid objects entering from the outside. The objectives of this standard are:
——Solid probes and proximity probes specified in other standards are combined into one standard, along with any new probes required. —Provides guidelines for the selection of inspection probes for those creating product specifications. —Rather than changing the details and dimensions of the probe, it is recommended that the product specification specifies the inspection probe in accordance with what is already specified in this standard. —Reducing the increase in types of inspection probes. Note: The corresponding international standards for this standard are shown below. The symbols representing the degree of correspondence are IDT (matched), MOD (modified), and NEQ (not equivalent) based on ISO/IEC Guide 21.
