9 Accessibility of live parts

9.1 Socket-outlets shall be so designed that when they are mounted and wired as in normal use, live parts are not accessible.

9.1.1 Compliance shall be checked by the application of the test pin shown in Figure 1 perpendicular to the accessible external surface of the socket-outlet with a force of 5 N. It shall not be possible to touch live parts.

9.2 Socket-outlets shall be designed and constructed so as to protect the user against accidental contact with live parts during insertion or withdrawal of plugs.

9.2.1 Compliance shall be proved by satisfying the dimensional and gauging requirements of this part of BS 1363.
