Hello Peter, Not sure about IEC61010, but IEC60950-1 has a "Hot Flaming Oil Test" that if complied with, would be considered acceptable. Some manufacturers choose compliance with the test in lieu of complying with the bottom opening requirements Let me tell you though that the Hot Flaming Oil Test is a difficult test to comply with Peter Merguerian

With regards to the bottom there are well explained rules for the design of the bottom in 9.2.1 Constructional Requirements. I have a device with completely flat bottom without any holes, front and back is bended 90 degrees to make sides of front/back in the two other sides there is a small bend up side panel of 22mm all this is formed out of same plate. Now my question is related to the corners where the front/back panels meet the small side panels all bent upwards, here there is a small gap of 2mm bewteen the materials. It´s not exactly the bottom but instead in the side so do i have a problem or will it be OK ? | |2mm | | __________________________ | | | front | | | | |_| |______Bottom of device________ I tried to make a drawing (best seen using non proportional font) Hope this is somewhat clear, have a nice day :-) Best regards Peter - ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message is from the IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society emc-pstc discussion list.
