IEC 61587-6-2021 pdf Mechanical structures for electrical and electronic equipment – Tests for IEC 60917 and IEC 60297 series – Part 6: Security aspects for indoor cabinets

Criteria: After the test, there shall be no deformation of any of the components of the handle, mechanical lock, or key that affect form, fit, or function. Table 4 indicates the test procedures for typical handles. Different types of handles may require a different procedure for unlock, door open, door close, and/or lock operation. In such cases, the cycle test procedures should be modified according to the specific door operation. 5.2.4 Tests for panel strength Loads are intended to be applied from inside the cabinet in the direction indicated in Figure 4. If this is not practical then the panels may be modified to provide means to apply the loads from the outside of the cabinet. The modification could be carried out by welding a pull tab or stud to the panel or by drilling a hole and pulling on a bolt, tab, or stud positioned through the hole. In any case the area loaded by the pulling device shall not exceed 100 mm 2 . The method of loading the panels shall be reported.
Criteria: After applying the static load (100 N or 200 N) 3 times, there shall be no deformation of the panels or cabinet that affect form, fit, or function. 5.3 Key Table 5 shows security performance levels for keys. The “key codes” shown in Table 5 are key security numbers or key security values typically used for cabinet doors according to IEC 60917 (all parts) and IEC 60297 (all parts), and represent the number of key codes that are distinct enough to prevent closely matched key codes from operating the same lock. Key pad entry is considered limited security as access can be compromised by observation of the person gaining access to the cabinet. RFID or magnetic card entry is considered medium security as cards can be compromised by the possession of a stolen or copied card. Any form of biometric reader is considered high security as it requires the presence of an authorized person for entry.
