2 Type testtest
The type test defined in 3.9 shall be made on one or more
specimens of the tariff and load control equipment, selected by the
manufacturer, to establish its specific characteristics and to prove
its conformity with the requirements of this standard.

A test schedule is given in Annex E.

In case of modifications to the tariff and load control equipment

made after the type test and affecting only part of the equipment, it
will be sufficient to perform limited tests on the characteristics that
may be affected by the modifications.

Acceptance tests

F.1 General
The acceptance tests shall be carried out by the user or the
supplier either as a 100 % test or as a sample test, as desired.
In a delivery batch of less than 50 tariff and load control equipment
a 100 % test is preferable.

For sample tests, delivery batches of more than 1 200 tariff and
load control equipment shall be subdivided into part batches of no
more than 1 200 equipment each.
Acceptance tests shall comprise

a) Functional tests as specified in the relevant standards for

particular requirements;
b) A test of constructional requirements.

The following checks shall be made visually:

– Design of the case;

– Arrangements for electrical connections;
– creepage and clearance distances of the terminal block;
– Indications to be shown on the tariff and load control
equipment.

F.2 One hundred per cent test

The test referred to above shall be carried out on each tariff and
load control equipment of the delivery batch.
Only the tariff and load control equipment without failures shall be
accepted.

F.3 Sample tests

The tests referred to above shall be carried out on a sample of
tariff and load control equipment chosen at random in the delivery
batch.
The sample tests shall be carried out according to the rules of IEC
60410 with the following criteria:
– control level II (see Table I of IEC 60410);
– Single sample plan (Table IIA); or double sample plan (Table
IIIA);
– Acceptable quality level (AQL) = 1,0 for each test separately.
