Test Cone Probe 31 (Grinding Probe) is a dedicated safety test tool defined in IEC 61032:1997 Figure 14 (equivalent to GB/T 16842-2008 Figure 14), used to verify protection against access to hazardous mechanical parts in food waste disposer grinding systems.


1. Core Standards & Purpose

  • Standard Reference: IEC 61032:1997, GB/T 16842-2008, EN 61032:1998.
  • Primary Application: Safety testing for food waste disposers, garbage grinders, and similar appliances with internal grinding mechanisms.
  • Test Objective: Simulate accidental finger/object insertion to ensure the enclosure prevents access to sharp, rotating, or crushing components.

3. Test Method

  1. Operate the food waste disposer under normal working conditions.
  1. Insert the probe into all openings and gaps of the disposer housing without excessive force.
  1. Check if the probe can reach or contact the internal grinding blades, impellers, or other hazardous mechanical parts.
  1. Judgment: No contact → Pass; Contact → Fail (requires improved guarding).
