IEC 60335-2-15 Compliant Kettle Movement Test Apparatus with 400 mm Pivot Distance and 5 mm Rubber Thickness

IEC 60335-2-15 Kettle horizontal and vertical movement apparatus

For movement tests, the kettle is attached to the test apparatus at its handle in the grip area,
taking care that the kettle is well balanced with the spout pointing radially outwards.
Between the test apparatus and the handle shall be of rubber of a thickness of 5 mm and a
hardness of 50 Shore ± 10 Shore.
The clamping position shall be in the centre of the grip area of the handle. The distance between
the pivot point and the centre of the grip area of the handle shall be 400 mm ± 10 mm.
NOTE 3 A schematic representation of the clamp position is shown in samples in Figure 108.
For the horizontal movement test, the kettle is moved, while maintaining the kettle in vertical
orientation, to the left and back to the right in an arc of 90°. The movement is repeated
2500 times at a rate of approximately 10 times per minute with uniform acceleration and
deceleration.
NOTE 4 A schematic representation of the test arrangement is shown in Figure 109.
For a vertical movement test, the kettle is moved down and up in a pouring motion of 120°. The
movement is repeated for 5 000 times at a rate of approximately 10 times per minute with
uniform acceleration and deceleration.
NOTE 5 A schematic representation of the test arrangement is shown in Figure 11 0.
The kettle, the handle and its securement means shall not break, crack or loosen
