29、mes the average distance between adjacent runs of the heating element. 4 Classification of heating pads 4.1 General The classifications of the appliance are stated. 4.2 Means of temperature regulation Heating pads are classified according to the means of temperature regulation: heating pad with a co

30、ntrol having continuously variable settings; heating pad with a control having step settings. 4.3 Type of supply Heating pads are classified according to the type of supply: heating pad for direct connection to the supply mains; extra low voltage heating pad. NOTE An extra low voltage heating pad ha

31、s a rated voltage not exceeding 24 V. 4.4 Application Heating pads are classified according to their application: heating pad for dry application; heating pad for moist application including cosmetics. 4.5 Method of cleaning Heating pads are classified according to the method of cleaning: washable b

32、y hand machine washable not washable 4.6 Period of use Heating pads are classified according to the period of use: heating pads having a time-based operation heating pads for continuous use 5 List of measurements Performance is determined by means of the following measurements: dimensions mass and t

33、extile composition (Clause 7); evenness of temperature (Clause 8); heating-up time and energy consumption (Clause 9); cyclic variation (Clause 10); effect of laundering (Clause 11). BS EN 61255:2014IEC 61255:2014 IEC 2014 7 6 General conditions for measurements Unless otherwise specified, measuremen

34、ts are made under the following conditions: a) Test room: The tests are carried out in a draught-free room in which the ambient temperature is maintained at 20 C 5 C. b) Supply voltage: The supply voltage is maintained at the rated voltage 1 %. When the heating pad is marked with a rated voltage ran

35、ge, the test report shall state the voltage used for the test. NOTE 1 If the results obtained by testing the heating pad at rated voltage are considered to be misleading due to the national supply voltage, the heating pad can also be tested at a voltage corresponding to the nominal voltage of the na

36、tional supply system. c) Arrangement of the heating pad: The flexible part with any detachable cover fitted placed between sheets of thermal insulation, the size of which is such that the edges extend at least 100 mm beyond the out- line of the heated area. The thermal insulation is made of open-cel

37、l polyether having cell count 18 + 2 per cm; specific mass 30 kg/m3+ 10 %; hardness between 120 N and 170 N at 40 % impression measured according to ISO 2439. The thermal insulation is supported over its entire area by a piece of plywood 20 mm thick, situated not less than 300 mm above the floor. Th

38、e thickness of the thermal insulation under the heating pad is approximately 72 mm and over the heating pad approximately 36 mm. NOTE 2 The specification of the thermal insulation is taken from IEC 60335-2-17. 7 Dimensions, mass and textile composition 7.1 Dimensions 7.1.1 The areas of the flexible

39、part and the heated area are determined. The heating pad is spread out without tension on a flat surface and the length and width are measured at five evenly distributed places. The average values of the area of the flexible part and the heated area are calculated. The areas are stated in squared me

40、tres (m2). If the pad is not rectangular, its shape is stated. 7.1.2 The lengths of flexible cords are determined. The measurements are made, as applicable, between the cord-entry of the flexible part and the control or the transformer; the control or the transformer and the plug. The lengths are st

41、ated in metres (m), rounded down to the nearest 0,05 m. BS EN 61255:2014 8 IEC 61255:2014 IEC 2014 7.2 Mass The mass of the heating pad and its cover, if any, is determined. The mass of the heating pad and the cover, if any, are stated separately and are measured in grams (g), rounded up to the near

42、est 10 g. 7.3 Textile composition The textile composition of the external surface of the heating pad and its cover, if any, is stated. 8 Evenness of temperature The evenness of temperature of the heated area is determined. The temperature rise of the surface of the flexible part is measured by means

43、 of thermocouples attached to the centre of copper plates having dimensions of 65 mm 65 mm 0,5 mm. The plates are placed over the flexible part as shown in Figure 1 so that as many plates as possible cover the surface. If the length of the shortest side of the heated area is less than 100 mm, the te

44、mperature rise is measured instead by thermocouples attached to copper disks having a diameter of 15 mm and a thickness of 1,0 mm. The distance between the centres of adjacent disks is 25 mm. An example of layout is shown in Figure 2. No part of any plate is to project outside of the heated area. Fi

Figure 2 Heated area showing the layout of the disks The test is carried out with the control adjusted to the maxim

46、um setting and the temperature rises are measured when steady conditions are established or at the end of a cycle of operation. The average temperature rise is calculated from all the measurements. The difference between the maximum and minimum temperature rises is also calculated. NOTE If there is

47、more than one heated area, the calculations are made for each heated area separately. The uniformity factor is calculated, being the percentage of the heated area which is within 2 K of the average temperature rise. The evenness of temperature is expressed as the difference between the maximum and m

48、inimum temperature rises, rounded to the nearest 1 K, and the uniformity factor, rounded to the nearest 1 %. 9 Heating-up time and energy consumption The time taken for the temperature rise of a representative measuring point to rise by 20 K during the test of Clause 8 is stated in minutes (min), ro

49、unded to the nearest 1 min, as the heating-up time. The ambient temperature is maintained at 20C 2C and the heating pad is conditioned for at least 24 h at this temperature before starting the test. The temperature rise is measured by means of a thermocouple attached to the centre of a copper plate having dimensions of 65 mm 65 mm 0,5 mm, which is placed in the centre of the heated area. The control is adjusted to the maximum setting and the heating
