Non moulded on, non-rewirable plugs are tested with the flexible cord supplied. The plug
pins are clamped in the vertical position using a jig with the plug pins uppermost. The
plug lead fitted shall be suitable fitted with a cord totalling 1m in length and a 3 kg weight
applied to the end.
With the weight initially held 0.5m from the end of the cord anchorage, and at the same
height, the weight is allowed to fall freely. This test is carried out 5 times.
After the test the plug cover shall be in place and show no damage.
