EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of EN IEC 60068-2-1 standard. This standard details cold tests applicable to both non-heat-dissipating and non-heat-dissipating samples.
A sample is considered to be a heat emitter only if the hottest point on its surface, measured in free air conditions (i.e. with low air velocity circulation), is more than 5 K above the ambient temperature of the surrounding atmosphere after temperature stability has been achieved.
The purpose of the IEC-60068-2-1 cold test is to determine the ability of components, equipment or other objects to be used, transported or stored at low temperature. The cold tests covered by this standard do not ensure the ability of samples to withstand or operate during the temperature changes to be evaluated. In this case it will be necessary to use IEC 60068-2-14.
Cold tests are subdivided as follows:
The procedures given in this standard are normally intended for samples that achieve temperature stability during the performance of the test procedure. Temperature chamber(s) constructed and verified to IEC 60068-3-5 and IEC 60068-3-7 specifications.
Further guidance for dry hot and cold testing can be found in IEC 60068-3-1 and general guidance IEC 60068-1. This sixth edition deals with cold tests applicable to both non-heat-dissipating and heat-dissipating specimens. For non-heat-dissipating samples, Tests Ab and Ad do not essentially deviate from previous versions. Test Ae is included as a primary for test equipment that requires it to be operational throughout testing, including periods of conditioning.
