Accessibility Probes
-
Educated Design & Development, Inc.
FOR TESTING THE PROTECTION AGAINST ACCESS TO HAZARDOUS PARTS Our complete line of accessibility probes will allow you to determine compliance with all IEC, EN, UL, CE, CSA and other international safety Standards. ED&D offers the highest quality test probes available in the world. These probes are used to determine if accessibility exists with fingers, tools, and foreign objects to hazardous areas [involving shock hazards (voltage), energy hazards (VA) and injury hazards (i.e. moving parts)]. If you can’t tell which probe is right for your products, send us a copy of the specifications from the safety standard you are using. We can provide custom probes to meet your needs. All probe bodies are machined from high quality Delrin® (extremely resistant to deformation). ISO/IEC 17025 Accredited and NIST-traceable Certificates of Calibration available! Measurement and Uncertainty data available. All ED&D Probes are Made in the USA.

Toy Testing

Educated Design & Development, Inc.
Safety advocacy group Kids In Danger (KID) recently announced findings from its annual children’s product hazard report, “A Measure of Safety: Children’s Product Recalls in 2011.” This report examines data and trends in children’s products that have been recalled by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). This year, KID found that while children’s product recalls have dropped 24 percent since 2010, injuries and other adverse events associated with these recalls grew by an alarming 7 percent. The group also reported that nursery products were the most-recalled category with 30 percent of children’s recalls, followed by toys at 26 percent

Plug Socet & Cord Testing
-
Educated Design & Development, Inc.
Flexing Tests: On flexible cables (or cords sets with fitted plugs), electric tools or hand lamps. Meets requirements of standards such as IEC 60335, IEC 60227, IEC 60745 and UL745. This product is for continuous bending tests of cables or cord sets fitted with plugs. The model F39 allows the simultaneous testing of two samples in it's standard version. This not only allows for substantial time savings, but also allows for the testing current circuits to be simplified by looping through the cables.

Impact Testing
-
Educated Design & Development, Inc.
ED&D is the only company in the world currently supplying safety products that actually meet or exceed the specified Rockwell hardness’s that are called for in the standards. Manufacturing to these specifications is an extremely difficult process. In addition, we rely on external laboratories that specialize in Rockwell hardness to verify and certify our results. These are corners our competitors’ often cut, but are vital toward providing equipment that meets or exceeds the requirements! If you’ve purchased product safety test equipment that specified a Rockwell hardness requirement, and you didn’t purchase it from us, chances are you’re using a piece of test equipment that DOES NOT meet the requirements.

Leakage Current Testing
-
Educated Design & Development, Inc.
Fast - All operator controls are located on the front panel to expedite testing. The entire test can be performed in a matter of seconds! Pays for itself in time and stress savings. Versatile - Measures Leakage Current in accordance with UL, CSA, EN, and IEC/ International Standards. Includes ability to perform open neutral, open ground, and line polarity forward/reverse test conditions. Adaptable - Universal rear panel receptacle allows for testing products with any plug configuration. Accurate - True RMS meter accurately measures both sinusoidal and non-sinusoidal waveshapes. This is important when testing products using a switch mode power supply which can generate non-sinusoidal leakage currents. Calibrated, traceable to NIST. Flexible - A front panel switch permits testing either through the power cord of the product under test, from surface/ patient connection-to-ground, or from surface/ patient connection-to-surface/ patient connection. Portable - Lightweight, with integral handle. Other Features - Product Ground Switching (grounding conductor maintained to device under test when not measuring leakage). Automatic front receptacle disconnect when configured in the 240V test mode (prevents inadvertent connection of 120V when configured for 240V operation). Proven - These are the only leakage current testers designed and supported by Product Safety experts. That is part of the reason why they have become the standard in the industry. Full technical support by experienced safety engineers.

Flame & Other Plastics Testing
-
Educated Design & Development, Inc.
Plastics are tested to determine their flammability burning characteristics (Flame rating), their ignition potential due to thermal and electrical sources, their resistance to electrical tracking, and other electrical characteristics. The specific test required on a plastic depends on the type of component or end-use product, as well as the environment in which the plastic is used. This test equipment meets most UL, CSA, IEC, EN and other international safety standards.

Force & Torque Management
-
Educated Design & Development, Inc.
ED&D digital force gauges can be used in a virtually limitless number of tension and compression testing applications, and are perfect for the various product safety requirements. These units are housed in a heavy metal enclosure, making them the most "rugged" force gauges available -- perfect for testing and lab conditions. All force gauges are able to capture the peak force in both tension and compression and have selectable units of measurement. Force gauge capacities are available for the various requirements, we offer 50N, 200N, 500N and 1000N models in the PFI Series and the AFI Series. ED&D force gauges may be handheld or used with a test stand and/or gripping fixture to create a complete testing solution. All force gauges are CE marked. They come in a custom padded carrying case, includes batteries and an adaptor, as well as a disc accessory attachment, hook attachment, extension rod, metric extension rod, and screws used for mounting gauge to a test stand or use with the gripping fixtures. Available exclusively from ED&D are the attachment finger probes and force discs for testing accessibility as well as stability limits. Torque testing is a way of determining how something will react when it is being turned during operation or twisted to failure - when a force is applied to it in torque. Torque is a turning force, measured in units of force multiplied by unit length. 10Nm, for example, indicates a force of 1kg acting at 1 meter away from the center of rotation. The imperial equivalent of this would be 0.738lbf.ft (pound-feet).

Educated Design & Development, Inc.
Ingress Protection Test Equipment is used to determine the degree of protection provided by a product enclosure. The level of protection provided by an enclosure is represented by an "IP" code (i.e. IP43). The first digit indicates protection against ingress of solid foreign objects. Many of these tests require accessibility probes. The equipment for these tests is provided below. All equipment fully complies with IEC 60529 (IP Code standard) and all other international standards with similar tests.
