The insulation resistance of the switching device shall be greater than the values specified in the product
standard.
5.5.7 Dielectric strength
Test procedure
The test voltage shall be applied between all terminals which are insulated from each other and between
all terminals and the housing.
The test shall be performed both with the switching device de-energized and energized.
The test shall be performed in accordance with ISO 2678.
The test duration shall be as follows:
• for batch acceptance and acceptance testing: 2 s to 5 s;
• for certification testing: 1 min.
NOTE During the test in the de-energized state the coil terminals shall be connected to each other.
Test criteria
The dielectric strength of the switching devices shall comply with the values specified in the product
standards.
The switching device shall not be damaged during the test.
The leakage current shall not exceed 1 mA.
5.5.8 Contact voltage drop
Test procedure
The contact voltage drop shall be measured both on normally-open and normally-closed contacts.
For qualification tests of switching devices with
