The state of the charger, where it works based on normal use, when it is connected
to the power source.
Note: Including high efficient charging, high voltage charging, trickle charging and other
states, as well as the maximum charging current and voltage states stated in the instructions.
4 Categories of electric shock protection
4.1 Category I charger
Protection against electric shock not only relies on basic insulation, but also includes a
charger with additional safety measures. The charger's protection measure is to connect
the accessible live parts to the ground protective conductor in the fixed parts of the
facility, so that the basic insulation fails, whilst the accessible live parts will not become
live. This type of charger has a protective ground.
Note: This protection measure includes protective conductors in power cords. Category I
chargers may contain category II structures.
Example: The input terminal is a single-phase two-pole charger, which has a grounded plug.
4.2 Category II charger
Electric shock protection not only relies on basic insulation, but also chargers that
provide additional safety measures, such as double insulation or reinforced insulation.
This type of charger has no protective grounding.
Example: A charger with a single-phase two-pole plug as the input terminal.
5 Requirements
5.1 Machinery safety and structure
5.1.1 Enclosure shock
After testing according to the method specified in 6.1.1, the charger shall comply with
the provisions of 21.1 in GB 4706.1-2005.
5.1.2 Drop
After testing according to the method specified in 6.1.2, the charger shall comply with
the provisions of 8.1, 15.1.1, 16.3, Chapter 29 of GB 4706.1-2005.
5.1.3 Vibration
After testing according to the method specified in 6.1.3, the charger shall meet the
following requirements:
a) All relevant parts are not deformed or fallen off;
b) Comply with the provisions of 5.2.2;
c) Can work normally.
5.1.4 Structure
5.1.4.1 The structure of the charger shall meet the following requirements:
a) Eliminate rough or sharp edges, that pose a hazard to the user during normal use
or user maintenance;
b) Power the output circuit, through an isolation device (transformer, etc.);
c) Wood, cotton, silk, plain paper and similar fibrous or hygroscopic materials shall
not be used as insulating materials, unless otherwise impregnated.
5.1.4.2 The protective impedance shall consist of at least two separate components, the
impedance of which shall not change significantly, during the lifetime of the appliance.
If any of these components is short-circuited or open-circuited, the value specified in
8.1.4 of GB 4706.1-2005 shall not be exceeded.
Note: Resistors complying with 5.5.6 in GB 4943.1-2022 and Y-class capacitors complying
with GB/T 6346.14-2015 are considered to be sufficiently stable impedance components.
5.1.4.3 Appliances connected to the power supply through a plug shall be constructed,
so that when the pins of the plug are touched during normal use, there will be no risk
of electric shock due to overcharged capacitors.
Note: Capacitors with a rated capacitance of no greater than 0.1 μF are not considered to cause
an electric shock hazard.
5.1.5 Internal wiring
The internal wiring of the charger shall meet the following requirements.
a) When bushings are used as additional insulation for internal wiring, hold it in
place by a reliable means.
b) The wiring path is smooth and has no sharp edges.
c) The wiring is protected, so that it does not come into contact with burrs, cooling
fins or similar objects, that may cause damage to the insulation. There is a metal
hole through which insulated wires pass; it has a flat, smooth surface or an
insulating sleeve.
Test according to the method specified in 6.2.4. The structure and casing of the charger
shall provide adequate protection against accidental contact with live parts.
5.2.5 Abnormal operation
5.2.5.1 Wrong connection
Carry out the test according to the method specified in 6.2.5.1. The charger shall have
no current output; there is no electric shock, fire or mechanical hazard. The charger
shall work properly, when connected correctly.
5.2.5.2 Short circuit
Carry out the test according to the method specified in 6.2.5.2. The charger shall be free
