The IEC 60068 series is a European standard that covers various aspects of environmental testing. Tests. Tests and provides guidance, requirements, and procedures of environmental testing.
BS EN 60068-2-60 is one of the parts of the series that determines the corrosive influence of operating and storage indoor environments on electrotechnical products components, equipment, and materials, particularly contacts and connections, considered separately, integrated into a subassembly, or assembled as a complete equipment.
BS EN 60068-2-60 provides test methods giving information, on a comparative basis, to aid the selection of materials, choice of production processes and component design, with regard to corrosion resistance. A guide to the selection of methods and test duration is provided in Annex C.
BS EN 60068-2-60 on environmental testing useful for:
Electrotechnical products and components are required to function without significant reduction in performance when subjected to different environmental parameters. The combination of temperature, humidity, and low air pressure may have certain effects on components and equipment.
BS EN 60068-2-60 can assist you to determine the corrosive influence of operating and storage indoor environments on electrotechnical products components, equipment, and materials.
BS EN 60068-2-60 can help you to reduce corrosion effects of operating and storage indoor environments on electrotechnical products and components.
Guidance in BS EN 60068-2-60 helps you to ensure that electrotechnical products and components can survive the environments to which they will be subjected throughout their useful life. This ensures that the products and components have a long service life.
