1.5. Test execution
The test area must be organized so that no unauthorized persons have access during execution of a test. If
a safety contact (interlock) is used as a means of access control to the test area (e.g. Faraday cage), then an
additional contact in series with any hazardous voltages or currents is necessary to provide protection
for parts of the EUT that are in danger of being touched.
EUTs, together with their accessories and cables, are to be considered live during a test. The test generator
must be stopped and the EUT supply interrupted before any work can be performed on the EUT. This can often
be achieved by opening the interlock circuit, depending on the type of generator in use.
The EUT is to be tested only in a protective cage or under a hood which provides protection against electric
shock and all manner of other dangers pertaining to the particular EUT.
The safety instructions for all instruments and associated equipment in the test setup are to be observed.
