IEC EN 60721-2-1 Classification of Environmental Conditions - Environmental Conditions Seen in Nature - Temperature and Humidity

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, offers precise and rapid testing services within the scope of IEC EN 60721-2-1 testing. This part of IEC EN 60721 presents the classification of outdoor climates in terms of temperature and humidity. It is intended to be used as part of the background material when selecting appropriate temperature and humidity levels for product testing and application.

IEC EN 60721-2-1 Classification of Environmental Conditions - Environmental Conditions Seen in Nature - Temperature and Humidity

This presentation can be used as background material when publishing climatic environmental classes for product applications. This standard defines a limited number of outdoor climate classifications in terms of temperature and humidity that represent the conditions most commonly encountered by products during transportation, storage, installation and use.

Electrotechnical products are used almost all over the world in changing climatic conditions and must meet the stresses brought by these climatic conditions with the necessary reliability. To ensure reliability, detailed information about the climatic conditions to which the product will be exposed is required during the design phase.

In addition to outdoor temperature, temperature stresses on a product depend on a number of other environmental parameters, for example solar radiation, air velocity or heating from adjacent equipment.

In most cases, extreme heat and humidity are of great importance, even for a short period of time. In other cases where large time constants for heat or water penetration are involved, the average values ​​of temperature and humidity over a period of time may be more important.

It was therefore thought useful to present here the average value over many years of annual extremes of temperature and humidity, which will occur only for short periods (a few hours), and the average value of daily extremes of temperature and humidity over many years.
