A current equal to the rated current of the IC-CPD or to the following current, whichever is the lowest, is passed through the conductors:-16A for IC-CPDs with cables or cords having a nominal cross-sectional area not exceeding 1.5mm2-10A for IC-CPDs with cords having a nominal cross-sectional area of 1.5mm2.The voltage between the conductors shall be the rated voltage of the IC-CPD or, in the case of more than one rated voltage, the highest rated voltage.The oscillating member is moved through an angle of 90 (45 on either side of the vertical). The number of flexing operations is 10000 at the rate of 60 per minute.Note 1 A flexing operation is one movement, either backwards or forwards.Samples with circular section cables or cords are turned through 90° in the oscillating member after 5000 flexing operations. Samples with flat cords are only bent in a direction perpendicular to the plane containing the axes of the conductors.
