It specifies ways of testing equipment or components under simulated solar radiation conditions and investigates how much effect solar radiation has on equipment in the presence of moisture. This method evaluates the anticipated effects of solar radiation on ground level products. with gradual change of temperature, specimen powered throughout, Be.with gradual change of temperature, Bd.with gradual change of temperature, Bb.ĭry heat tests for heat-dissipating specimens.The tests in IEC 6 are subdivided as follows:ĭry heat test for non heat-dissipating specimens This method uses constant hot temperature conditions, dry heat. This test investigates how well equipment or products perform when being used, transported or stored at high temperatures. with gradual change of temperature, specimen powered throughout, Ae.with gradual change of temperature, Ad,.with gradual change of temperature, Ab.The tests in IEC 6 are subdivided as follows:Ĭold tests for non heat-dissipating specimens This method uses constant cold temperature conditions. This testing is aimed to determine the ability of equipment or components to be used, stored or transported at low temperature.

If you have any further questions about the IEC 60068-2 test standards, please contact us. A heat-dissipating subject is one where the hottest point of its surface measured in free conditions is greater than 5K higher than the ambient temperature of the surrounding atmosphere once the temperature stability has been achieved.ĭES is A2LA accredited to perform many of the IEC 60068 test methods below under Certificate Number 4998.01. The specimens can be heat-dissipating or non-heat dissipating for test methods using constant temperature conditions such as IEC 6, IEC 6 and IEC 6.

It is typical for companies to test their products to one or many of the standards below. The below procedures in this standard provide a series of reproducible test methods. IEC 60068 offers appropriate severities and prescribes various environmental conditions for measurements and tests in each test method. IEC 60068 is a collection of methods for environmental testing of electronic equipment, components and electromechanical products to assess their ability to perform and survive under conditions such as transportation, storage, operational environments, extreme cold and heat. IEC 60068 is an internationally recognized standard developed by the International Electrotechnical Commission.
