Re: [PSES] Suitable Test equipment for Touch temperature Testing in accordance with EN 62368-1

Test labs are required to follow IEC rules about temperature measurements. While I.R> guns and FLIR cameras can be used for diagnostic purposes, I believe they all still want thermocouples for final measurement. In addition, there are rules about the maximum wire gauge and preferences on using spe

Thanks Ted for your comprehensive reply. As I said in my earlier replies if the IR measured touch temperatures are near the test limits then thermocouples should be used to provide a more accurate measurement. Regards Philip Sevenson Sent from Mail

Hi Philip, I would like to see progress towards the acceptance of infrared thermography for certification. However, I can see some potential issues. * I haven't seen software for many IR cameras that does good data logging. I work on some products that have cyclical temperature changes. The

Re: [PSES] Suitable Test equipment for Touch temperature Testing in accordance with EN 62368-1

Hello Regulatory Experts, We do use an IR camera as an initial indicator, to identify the hottest areas for further investigation of the hottest areas using thermocouples. Our products typically have cast metal enclosures, so we coat enclosure areas with a flat painted finish to obtain reasonably

Re: [PSES] Suitable Test equipment for Touch temperature Testing in accordance with EN 62368-1

Hi Phillip: As far as I know, 62368-1 does not specify the method for measuring touch temperatures. Be aware that certification houses usually measure touch (and all other) temperatures with a thermocouple. Stay safe, and best regards, Rich From: Philip Stevenson Sent: Wedn

[PSES] Suitable Test equipment for Touch temperature Testing in accordance with EN 62368-1

Dear List Members I am looking for advice of whether the use of an Infra Red (IR) Digital Thermometer is suitable for performing Touch temperature Testing in accordance with EN 62368-1. Provided that factors for the different surface materials are applied to the temperature measurements? If yo
