ANNEX B - ADJUSTMENTS TO ABNT NBR NM 14936: 2012

1. Any and all adapters in which the socket side admits the insertion of a plug with a rated current higher than the plug side of
the adapter, this must be tested, applying the maximum rated current allowed in the adapter configuration, keeping the lowest
rated current for marking on the adapter.

2. Compliance with the test described in item 24.2 must be verified as follows:

After the test, the samples must not show any deterioration, in accordance with the provisions of this standard. In particular:

a) no part must have come loose or loosened;

b) the pins must not be deformed in such a way that the plug cannot be inserted into a socket in accordance with the
corresponding standardization sheet;

c) the pins must not rotate when a torque of 0.4Nm is applied, first in one direction for 1 min and then in the opposite direction
for 1 min.

Note 1: If the pin shows any movement on its axis (rotation) that could compromise the connection, compliance with this
requirement is verified by measuring the difference in voltage drop obtained before and after applying the torque. The limit for
approval of the voltage drop difference is 10mV (measured in direct current);

Note 2: Torque must be applied at the base of the pin.

Compliance with the test described in item 24.5 must be verified as follows: After the test, the adapter must allow its total
insertion, without preparation or arrangement, in a certified outlet, suitable for the plug side of the adapter.

3. In ABNT NBR 14936:2012, replace Table 20 of ABNT 60884-1:2010 with Table 1 below.

Flexible cables with a section of 1 mm2 are only permitted with a length
The

2 m maximum.

Note: The test currents of adapters with other rated currents are determined by interpolation between the
rated values from the next lower and higher normalized values, except for the test currents of adapters in
section 19, which are obtained as follows:

- for In ÿ 10 A, test current = 1.4 In;

- for In ÿ 10 A, test current = 1.25 In.

ANNEX II - CONFORMITY IDENTIFICATION SEAL

1. The supplier must affix the Conformity Identification Seal to the product and its primary packaging, if
any, as described below.
1.1 Conformity Identification Seal on the packaging:
1.1.1 The Seal can be printed or a label can be used, with characteristics of indelibility and permanence,
as long as it complies with the defined dimensions, and it is possible to choose one of the versions of the
complete model (Figure 1). The black and white version may be used on the package only if it has a similar
color to the color Seal. In the “one color” version, the Seal can be the same color as the packaging.

1.1.2 The minimum size for the Inmetro logo on stamps is 5mm. Therefore, it is mandatory to meet this
minimum limit, in addition to the proportions established for the logos presented and the words that the
Seal must contain.

b) When the conformity identification is stamped or inserted through the Seal, if it does not fit in the front
part, it can be affixed to the other parts of the adapter.
c) Although the colored Stamp should preferably be used, the use of the black and white version and the
compact 11mm size shown in Figure 1 is allowed.
d) If there is no space, only the logos of Inmetro and the Organism may be engraved, respecting the
minimum dimension of 11mm in width.
e) Considering the above conditions, exclusively for plug and socket adapters certified up to the effective
date of this Regulation, the layouts in Figure 2 below may be maintained in the product.
