CEE7 Fig. 22 Gauges C22 Splash Apparatus

This CEE7 Fig. 22 Gauges C22 Splash Apparatus is precision-engineered in strict compliance with the specifications outlined in IECEE CEE-7 Figure 22, a critical safety standard for domestic and similar-purpose plugs and socket-outlets. It is specifically designed to conduct splash water resistance tests, simulating real-world exposure to water splashes to verify that electrical products maintain insulation integrity and prevent electric shock hazards. By delivering standardized and controlled splash testing, this apparatus ensures that plugs and socket-outlets meet CEE 7’s rigorous safety requirements for protection against water ingress, safeguarding user safety in damp or wet environments.

Specifications:
• Fully conforms to IECEE CEE-7 standard requirements, aligning with Figure 22 specifications for splash water testing
• Features a calibrated water spray mechanism with precise flow rate control (compliant with CEE 7’s specified water volume and pressure)
• Equipped with an adjustable sample holder to position the test item at the required angle (per standard guidelines)
• Manufactured from corrosion-resistant, high-quality materials to withstand repeated water exposure and maintain structural stability
• Engineered with a water collection and drainage system to ensure test environment cleanliness and consistency
• Compatible with CEE 7-compliant plugs, socket-outlets, and similar electrical connection devices
• Calibrated to replicate standardized splash scenarios for accurate and repeatable test results

Test Procedures:
• Inspect the splash apparatus for damage, corrosion, or functional malfunctions, and confirm its dimensions, spray mechanism, and flow rate comply with CEE 7 Figure 22 specifications.
• Prepare the test sample (plug or socket-outlet) and ensure it is in good working condition, free from cracks, loose components, or pre-existing water damage.
• Mount the sample securely in the apparatus’s adjustable holder, positioning it at the angle specified in CEE 7 (to simulate real-world installation orientation).
• Fill the apparatus’s water reservoir with clean, room-temperature water (per standard requirements for water quality).
• Set the calibrated flow rate and splash distance according to CEE 7 guidelines, ensuring the water spray targets the critical areas of the sample (e.g., socket openings, plug contacts).
• Initiate the splash test and run it for the duration specified in the CEE 7 standard, maintaining consistent water flow and spray pattern throughout.
• After the test is complete, disconnect the sample from any power source (if applicable) and inspect it for signs of water ingress (e.g., internal moisture, water pooling in contacts).
• Verify the sample’s insulation integrity and electrical safety performance, ensuring no short circuits or reduced insulation resistance due to water exposure.
• Document test results, including observations of water ingress and whether the sample meets CEE 7’s splash resistance requirements, and clean/dry the apparatus for subsequent tests.

Applications:
• Quality control testing of CEE 7-compliant plugs and socket-outlets in manufacturing facilities to verify splash water resistance.
• Compliance assessment by certification bodies and third-party testing laboratories for IECEE CEE-7 certification of electrical products.
• R&D testing for the design optimization of plugs and socket-outlets, enhancing protection against water ingress in damp environments.
• Routine inspection of production lines producing domestic and similar electrical connection devices for regions requiring CEE 7 compliance.
• Performance verification of plug/socket-outlet components from third-party vendors to ensure conformance with CEE 7’s splash safety standards.
• Post-production quality audits to confirm product safety in wet/damp usage scenarios (e.g., bathrooms, kitchens, outdoor installations) before market release.
• Quality assurance for manufacturers exporting electrical products to CEE 7-adopting markets, ensuring compliance with regional safety regulations for water resistance.
