Product Model: SC-745F105
Product Name: Straight Test Probe (Compliant with IEC/EN 62841-4-1:2017 Figure 105)
Overview: The Straight Test Probe, designed strictly in accordance with IEC/EN 62841-4-1:2017 (Edition 1.1, 2024 Consolidated Version) Figure 105, is a specialized safety testing tool for chain saws. It is specifically engineered to verify the protection against access to hazardous parts of electric motor-operated hand-held chain saws, supplementing the general safety requirements specified in IEC/EN 62841-1:2014. This probe serves as an essential instrument for manufacturers, testing laboratories, and quality control departments to ensure chain saws meet the international safety standards for wood-cutting, single-person operation chain saws as defined in IEC/EN 62841-4-1:2017[superscript:8].
IEC 62841-4-1:2017 Figure 105 Straight Test Probe
Standard Compliance: Fully conforms to IEC 62841-4-1:2017 (including its Amendment 1:2024) Figure 105 specifications, and is intended for use in conjunction with IEC 62841-1:2014. The probe strictly follows the test specifications and dimensional requirements outlined in the standard, ensuring accurate and reliable testing results that align with international safety criteria for chain saws. It complies with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2, and adheres to the marking and technical content requirements of the consolidated version of the standard.
Key Features & Technical Parameters:
- Dimensional Precision: Manufactured with high-precision machining to match the exact dimensions specified in IEC 62841-4-1:2017 Figure 105, ensuring consistent and accurate access testing for hazardous parts of chain saws. The straight design eliminates any angular interference, allowing precise insertion into test openings as required by the standard.
- Durable Construction: Crafted from high-quality stainless steel and engineering plastics, the probe offers excellent mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance. It is designed to withstand repeated use in industrial testing environments without deformation or damage, ensuring long-term reliability.
- Safety & Compatibility: The probe is non-conductive in critical areas (where specified by the standard) to prevent electrical interference during testing, ensuring operator safety and test accuracy. It is compatible with all single-person operation wood-cutting chain saws covered by IEC 62841-4-1:2017, excluding chain saws designed for use with guide plates, riving knives, or as stationary/transportable machines.
- Test Functionality: Specifically used to verify the basic protection against access to hazardous parts of chain saws. When applied with the specified test force, it checks whether hazardous components (such as electrical parts, moving mechanical parts) are inaccessible, ensuring compliance with the safety requirements of IEC 62841-4-1:2017.
Applications: This Straight Test Probe is widely used in safety testing, quality inspection, and compliance certification of chain saws. It is an indispensable tool for:
- Chain saw manufacturers to conduct pre-delivery safety testing and production quality control;
- Certification and testing laboratories to perform compliance testing against IEC 62841-4-1:2017 standards;
- Quality supervision departments to carry out spot checks and safety audits of chain saw products;
- After-sales service centers to verify the safety performance of chain saws during maintenance and repair.
