SCOPE:-
This standard covers the requirements and methods of tests for domestic type flexible electric heating pads intended for use on the human body and designed for operation on voltages not exceeding 250V ac single phase 50 c/s or dc.

This standard does not cover heating pads for use in hospitals.

Usage Simulation test- The heating pad complete with supply flexible cord up to but not including, switch or control unit, shall be placed in a tumbling machine as shown in fig. Be rotated for 5,000 revolutions at a speed of 6 to 7 rev/min. No mechanical or electrical damage shall result from the test nor shall there be any sign of undue wear or abrasion.

Control panel made up of MS powder coated finish with wooden tumbling barrel (Heavy Duty water proof) as per IS specification with sliding acrylic door fixed on Heavy duty MS Angle Frame structure with RIGID support.. The wooden tumbling is freely rotated at a constant speed of 6 rpm by the constant speed gear motor. Digital rotation counter cum indicator controls the number of rotation of the wooden tumbling barrel. The number of rotation is fully programmable and settable with the help of membrane keys of digital rotation counter.
