IEC 60068-2-60 Environmental Tests, Part 2-60: Test Ke: Flowing Mixed Gas Corrosion Test Standard

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of the IEC 60068-2-60 standard. This part of IEC 60068-2 specifies the corrosive effect of working and storage indoor environments on electrotechnical product components, equipment and materials, particularly contacts and connections, which are considered separately, integrated into a subgroup or assembled as a complete equipment.

It provides comparatively informative test methods to aid in material selection, selection of manufacturing processes, and component design regarding corrosion resistance.

The test apparatus consists of a climate system, test enclosure, gas distribution system and instruments for measuring gas concentration.

Design and construction details are optional, but the conditions specified for each method will be met throughout the working volume and comply with the following requirements:

• No water droplets or aerosols should be injected into the test enclosure;
• The air and water used must be clean enough not to affect the performance of the test;
• The test atmosphere will flow through the enclosure ensuring uniform test conditions within the working volume;
• The sampling point for gas analysis should be in the working volume of the test enclosure;
• The exhaust gases will be treated in accordance with the relevant regulatory provisions;
• The wet bulb housing should be placed in the test chamber so that it does not exceed 0,1% of the test chamber section.

The copper coupons should be displayed with the test samples to verify the conformity of the test condition.
