30.3 An appliance shall not overturn when a continuous downward force of 35 pounds (156 N) is applied
at the point of maximum moment to any drawer or door that can be opened.
30.4 The appliance is to be placed on a horizontal surface, and set up for the test as described in 30.2.
A force of 35 pounds (156 N) is to be applied vertically downward at the edge of any door or drawer open
to the position providing the greatest lever arm.
31 Aerosol Containers and Deodorizers
31.1 An aerosol container provided in or recommended for use in an appliance shall be located in the
appliance so that it is not subject to heating.
31.2 An aerosol container is considered to comply with the requirements in 31.1 if the average
temperature of the container does not exceed 8.9°C (16°F) above room ambient during the temperature
test.
31.3 A deodorizer provided in or recommended for use in an appliance shall be of a type for which
marking and labeling to conform to the Federal Hazardous Substances Act – Public Law (86-613) – is not
required.
PERFORMANCE
32 General
32.1 Unless otherwise specified, all tests are to be conducted with the appliance connected to a source
of supply of rated frequency and of maximum rated voltage except that the voltage is to be 120 volts for
an appliance rated between 110 and 120 volts, and is to be 240 volts for an appliance rated between 220
and 240 volts.
33 Leakage Current Test
33.1 The leakage current of a cord-connected appliance when tested in accordance with 33.3 – 33.7 shall
not be more than:
a) 0.5 milliampere for a portable appliance – see 2.4, and
b) 0.75 milliampere for a stationary appliance.
33.2 Leakage current refers to all currents, including capacitively coupled currents, that may be conveyed
between exposed conductive surfaces of an appliance and ground or other exposed conductive surfaces
of an appliance.
33.3 All exposed conductive surfaces are to be tested for leakage currents. The leakage currents from
these surfaces are to be measured to the grounded supply conductor individually as well as collectively
where simultaneously accessible and from one surface to another where simultaneously accessible. Parts
are considered to be exposed surfaces unless guarded by an enclosure that provides protection against
a risk of electric shock as defined in Accessibility of Uninsulated Live Parts and Film-Coated Wire, Section
7. Surfaces are considered to be simultaneously accessible if they can be readily contacted by one or both
hands of a person at the same time. These measurements do not apply to terminals operating at voltages
that are considered not to present a risk of electric shock.
