IEC EN 60068-2-45 Environmental Test - Xa Test and Guidance - Immersion in Cleaning Solvents

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of IEC EN 60068-2-45 testing. It applies to electronic components and other parts mounted on printed circuit boards that may be subject to cleaning processes. It also provides information on test solvents and test temperatures.

IEC EN 60068-2-45 Environmental Test - Xa Test and Guidance - Immersion in Cleaning Solvents

This standard includes a test procedure in which the samples to be tested are immersed in a specified solvent at a specified temperature and for a specified period of time. The samples are rubbed with cotton or thin paper after dipping and drying, if stipulated in the relevant specification.

Marking, encapsulation, coating etc. The specimen should be visually inspected if testing is performed to determine surface effects on If the test is done to determine the effects on the performed properties of the sample, the relevant specification may also require electrical or mechanical measurements.

In most cases, printed circuits need to be completely immersed in certain solvents. In these cases, components in the boards must withstand brief immersion in the respective cleaning solvent.

If a component or part type is to be tested under different test conditions or methods, separate samples should be used for each test. For example, components with insulating sleeves, such as shrinkable plastic pipes, or components whose casings may contain capillary cracks absorb solvents over longer periods of time, thus producing long-term effects.

Different types of components can be tested simultaneously. During immersion, components must not be in contact with each other or with a printed board to avoid irreproducible mechanical or solvent retention effects.
