IEC EN 60068-2-53 Environmental Test - Combined Climate (Temperature/Humidity) and Dynamic (Vibration/Shock) Tests

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of IEC EN 60068-2-53 testing. IEC EN 60068-2-53 provides a description and guidance of test methods for testing equipment or components under combined climatic and dynamic conditions. The purpose of combined testing is to investigate the extent to which equipment or components are affected by combined climatic and dynamic testing.

Equipment and components must operate without significant degradation in performance when exposed to different environmental parameters. The type and severity of environmental parameters depend on the operating, transport and storage environments to which equipment and components are exposed. The environmental effects on the performance of equipment in the tropics and subtropics are completely different from those in the arctic. Individual parameters cause a variety of different and overlapping effects on equipment and components.

The manufacturer strives to ensure that equipment and components survive in the environments to which they will be exposed throughout their lifetime, and the user expects this. This expectation can be assessed by exposing the sample to a set of simulated environmental parameters that are controlled in the laboratory. The severity of environmental parameters is often increased to achieve meaningful results in a relatively short time. This allows the assessment of the possible effects of the applied environmental conditions.

Temperature, cold, dry heat, temperature variation, type of vibration, time of exposure to temperature, time of exposure to vibration, number of shocks, repetition time of shocks, axis of shock or vibration, operating condition, etc. all parameters will be selected from the relevant IEC EN 60068-2 standards or the relevant specification.

Combinations of environmental conditions must be chosen to ensure that the electrical and mechanical performances of the sample are satisfactory under storage, transport and operating conditions.
