Multifunctional Safety Tests
Manufacturers of electrical or electronic products are required by law to carry out an electrical safety test before placing them on the market. This final test takes place at the end of the manufacturing process and is therefore also referred to as an EOL test (end-of-line). Depending on the prescribed standard and directive, the following parameters are tested:
- Leakage current and discharge current
- Insulation resistance or the insulation strenth
- Dielectric strength or electric strength
- Correct installation of the protective conductor (ground continuity and ground bond test)
- Faultless functioning of the product under the conditions defined for intended use (function or run test
