BS 6396 Electrical Safety Testing of Cabinets with Integrated Power Supply
The British Standard BS 6396 specifies the requirements and test methods for electrical safety in furniture, particularly cabinets that include a power supply. This standard is crucial for ensuring the safe operation of storage furniture designed to hold electronic devices or other components powered by an integrated circuit. Eurolab provides comprehensive testing services that adhere strictly to this specification.
The primary focus of BS 6396 lies in preventing hazards such as electric shock, fire risk, and damage to electrical equipment. Cabinets with integrated power supplies are increasingly used in modern furniture designs due to their convenience and versatility. However, these features introduce potential electrical safety risks that must be addressed during product development and manufacturing.
Our testing service covers the complete range of procedures outlined in BS 6396, including but not limited to voltage measurement, insulation resistance assessment, earth continuity check, and overcurrent protection evaluation. We employ state-of-the-art instrumentation and methodologies recommended by the standard to ensure accurate and reliable test results.
During specimen preparation, we adhere strictly to the guidelines provided in BS 6396. This includes ensuring that the cabinet is configured as it would be during normal use, with all integrated power supplies activated and connected to a suitable load. The testing apparatus used for these assessments must also comply with the standard’s specifications.
The results of our tests are meticulously documented and reported in accordance with BS 6396 requirements. Our reports include detailed information on each test conducted, along with any non-conformities observed during the process. Compliance with this British Standard is essential for manufacturers aiming to meet regulatory requirements and ensure product safety.
Our team of experts ensures that all testing processes are carried out in a controlled and consistent manner, providing clients with confidence in their products’ electrical safety performance. By partnering with Eurolab for BS 6396 compliance, our customers can rest assured that their furniture meets the highest standards of electrical safety.
