IEC60068sarjan

IEC 60068 is a series of international standards published by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). It focuses on environmental testing for electronic components and equipment. The purpose of these standards is to ensure that products can withstand various environmental stresses they may encounter during their lifecycle, from manufacturing and transport to storage and operational use. This series provides a framework for conducting tests that simulate conditions such as temperature variations, humidity, vibration, shock, and ingress protection.

The IEC 60068 series is divided into several parts, each addressing a specific type of environmental stress. For example, IEC 60068-2-1 deals with cold tests, IEC 60068-2-2 with dry heat tests, and IEC 60068-2-14 with change of temperature. Other parts cover damp heat, vibration, shock, ingress of solid particles and liquids, and more. Manufacturers use these standardized test methods to evaluate the reliability and durability of their products, allowing them to identify potential weaknesses and make improvements. Compliance with IEC 60068 standards is often a requirement for products intended for global markets, ensuring a consistent level of quality and performance across different regions. By providing a common language and methodology for environmental testing, the IEC 60068 series contributes to the development of robust and dependable electronic devices.
