Professional Third-Party Power Strip Inspection

For the inspection of power strips, we generally adopt the AQL standard (Acceptable Quality Limits) to define the degree of product defects and acceptable ranges.

Key Inspection Points for Inspectors at Power Strip Inspection Sites

1. Applicable Standards
Product quality inspections will be conducted according to the following relevant EU standards:

EN 60950-1:2006+A11:2009+A1:2010+A12:2011+A2:2013 - Safety of Information Technology Equipment (Including Electrical Equipment) - Part 1: General Requirements

EN 60884-1:2019 - Plugs and Socket-Outlets for Household and Similar Purposes - Part 1: General Requirements

2. Inspection Items
1) Visual Inspection
Power Strip Casing: Check if the casing is intact and whether there are scratches, cracks, or deformations on the surface.

Socket Holes: Ensure the size and shape of the socket holes comply with standards, with no obvious defects.

Plug: Inspect the appearance of the plug to ensure the pins are complete, symmetrical, and can be correctly inserted into the socket.

2) Electrical Performance Inspection
Rated Voltage and Current: Verify whether the product's rated voltage and current meet the standards.

Insulation Resistance: Measure the product's insulation resistance to ensure it falls within the required standard range.

Withstand Voltage Test: Conduct a withstand voltage test to ensure the product can safely endure the rated voltage.

3) Safety Performance Inspection
Overcurrent Protection: Ensure the power strip has overcurrent protection functionality to prevent electrical overload.

Overheat Protection: Check whether it has overheat protection to prevent fires or other safety issues caused by overheating.

Material Flammability Resistance: Inspect the flammability resistance of the product materials to ensure no toxic gases are produced in the event of a fire.

3. Inspection Methods
Visual inspection can be conducted through visual checks and dimensional measurements.

Electrical performance inspection should be carried out using appropriate measuring equipment.

Safety performance inspection can be performed through practical testing and review of certification documents.

4. Inspection Frequency
The inspection frequency should be determined based on the size of the production batch and the product's historical performance, ensuring adequate coverage of different batches and variations.

5. Records and Reports
Each inspection should have detailed records, including the inspection date, product batch number, inspector information, etc. Products that pass inspection should be issued a certificate of conformity, and the inspection results should be archived.

6. Improvement and Tracking
Based on the inspection results, develop improvement plans and track their implementation. Ensure timely handling of identified quality issues to improve product quality and compliance.

Please note that this is only a brief example. Specific inspection items and standards may need to be adjusted according to the particular requirements of your power strip product. Ensure that when drafting inspection guidelines, you thoroughly study and understand the applicable EU standards and regulations.
