EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of IEC EN 60721-4-0 testing. This is an introduction to the IEC EN 60721-4 publication series that aims to provide guidance to the specification author along with a set of easy-to-use tables to help relate and transform these conditions. The purpose of this whitepaper is to recommend environmental tests that can be selected to demonstrate the ability of a product to function as specified in the relevant specification or to survive satisfactorily when subjected to the climatic and dynamic conditions given by IEC EN 60721-3.
These test intensities, including recommended times, are not intended to demonstrate the safety of the product. While it is not possible to recommend severity ratings for all product types, locations, and applications, it is possible to recommend tests that are adequate for the majority. Guidance information has been added to the proposed tests that explains how the severity ratings are selected.
IEC EN 60721-4-0 is a standard belonging to the "Climatic Properties Including Classification and Measurements" system, which is a classification system. This standard specifies how products should be classified and measured under various ambient conditions. This standard is especially used to measure climatic factors (such as temperature, humidity, wind speed) that affect the performance of products in various environments. This standard is used when evaluating the resistance of products to climatic conditions and helps to determine in which environments the products can be used.
While it is not possible to recommend severity ratings for all product types, locations, and applications, it is possible to recommend tests that are adequate for the majority. Guidance information has been added to the proposed tests that explains how the severity ratings are selected. The logic contained in this guide can also be used to help change test severity ratings when the conditions in IEC EN 60721-3 do not adequately describe a particular environment or application.
Reasons for correlation are given in IEC EN 60721-4 to enable specification authors to modify a test if their practice warrants it. When there are differences in parameter values between IEC EN 60721-3 and IEC EN 60068-2, the severity ratings of IEC EN 60068-2 test procedures are used. If a deviation from an IEC EN 60068-2 severity is recommended, the reasons are detailed and alternative tests are recommended.
