IEC 60068 is an international standard for the environmental testing of electrotechnical products that is published by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).
The IEC 60068 series provides a series of uniform and reproducible environmental, climatic, dynamic and combined tests, performed and measured under standard atmospheric conditions, for those preparing specifications and those engaged in the testing of products.
IEC 60068 represents the international reference for environmental testing of electronic and electromechanical components and materials intended to operate in variable climatic conditions.
To address these challenges, the IEC established the IEC 60068 series—one of the most comprehensive and widely adopted environmental testing standards worldwide.
IEC 60068 is an international standard for the testing of electrotechnical products. It involves different environmental testing such as temperature, humidity, shock, and vibration. These tests are conducted in specialized chambers. Products that pass these tests are considered reliable.
At its core, IEC 60068 establishes universally accepted testing standards which facilitate comparative assessments of product durability across different manufacturers and geographical markets.
IEC 60068 provides crucial guidelines for testing electronic devices in a range of harsh conditions, from extreme temperatures to heavy vibrations and beyond.
This part of IEC 60068 establishes a test method for determining the ability of components or equipment to withstand transportation, storage and use under conditions of high humidity.
La Commission Electrotechnique Internationale (IEC) est la première organisation mondiale qui élabore et publie des Normes internationales pour tout ce qui a trait à l'électricité, à l'électronique et aux technologies apparentées. Le contenu technique des publications IEC est constamment revu.
