6 TESTING
6.1 Verification of compliance with requirements
Compliance with all mandatory requirements in this AS/ACIF
Standard is to be verified. This may be done by direct measurement,
modelling and analysis, operation or inspection.
Methods for demonstrating compliance of CE with the requirements
clauses specified in this Standard are described in Clauses 6.2 to 6.7
Methods for demonstrating compliance of CE with the requirements
clauses specified in this Standard are described in either—
(a) the testing Clauses 6.2 to 6.7, or
(b) the referenced Standards in the specific Requirements clauses.
Verification of compliance with the referenced standards may be
confirmed by test reports to later versions of the referenced
standards provided that all clauses of the referenced standards are
shown to be met.
Alternative methods of demonstrating compliance to those
described may be used if the risk of passing non-compliant CE is not
increased because of increased measurement uncertainty.
6.2 Standard test conditions
6.2.1 Unless this Standard provides otherwise, testing for compliance with
this Standard should be conducted at the nominal supply voltage of
the CE and within the following ranges of atmospheric conditions:
(a) An ambient temperature in the range of 15°C to 25°C
inclusive.
(b) A relative humidity in the range of 30% to 75% inclusive.
(c) An air pressure in the range of 86 kPa to 106 kPa inclusive.
(d) The nominal supply voltage of the equipment.
6.2.2 Where elements in a test configuration are variable, the test should
be carried out over the indicated range for that element.
6.2.3 Unless indicated elsewhere within this Standard—
(a) the accuracy level of all measurements should be better than
± 2% for voltage and current, ± 0.25% for frequency and ± 0.5%
for time; and
(b) the tolerance of the nominal 48 V d.c. test source should be
± 0.5 V.
