9-8-5-1 Definition
Also known as Enclosure Leakage current test, this test measures the current that would flow through
a grounded person who touches the accessible conductive parts of the equipment during normal and
fault conditions.
The test verifies the isolation of the power line from the chassis. The testing meter is connected to parts
of the equipment, easily contacted by the user or patient.
Measurements should be made under the test conditions specified in:
• 9-11 on page 9-18, or
• 9-12 on page 9-18 as applicable.
