7.3 Selection of typical samples

7.3.1 Type test samples are to be taken from qualified products by CCS Surveyor at the
manufacturer.

7.3.2 In the case of initial type approval At least one marine transformer is to be taken as test
sample (more may be taken if necessary), if the capacity of the product applying for approval is
not larger than 200kVA, the capacity of which is to be the maximum in the products to be
approved. If the capacity of the product applying for approval is larger than 200kVA, then the test
sample can be chose between range 50%~100%, but it is needed to confirm that the manufacturer
has the ability to produce the maximum capacity. Where different insulation levels and
constructions are to be covered by approval, related products are to be sampled respectively.

7.3.3 If environmental tests are restricted by test equipment (such as damp heat test), a smaller
transformer of the same type may be taken as test sample.

CCS-approved testing agency. If the equipment manufacturing plant has a standard test
environment, test equipment and suitable inspection personnel, with the consent of the CCS, the
type test may be carried out in the laboratory of the manufacturing plant and witnessed by the
CCS surveyor on the spot.
