Environmental testing - Part 2-2: Tests - Test B: Dry heat

IEC 60068-2-2:2007 Deals with dry heat tests applicable both to heat-dissipating and non heat-dissipating specimens. For non heat-dissipating specimens, Tests Bb and Bd do not deviate essentially from earlier issues. The object of the dry heat test is limited to the determination of the ability of components, equipment or other articles to be used, transported or stored at high temperature. These dry heat tests do not enable the ability of specimens to withstand or operate during the temperature variations to be assessed. In this case, it would be necessary to use IEC 60068-2-14 Test N: Change of temperature. The dry heat tests are subdivided as follows:- Dry heat test for non heat-dissipating specimens with gradual change of temperature, Bb.- Dry heat tests for heat-dissipating specimens with gradual change of temperature, Bd;with gradual change of temperature, specimen powered throughout, Be. The procedures given in this standard are normally intended for specimens that achieve temperature stability during the performance of the test procedure. The main changes from the previous edition are as follows: Tests Ba and Bc have been deleted since they were more severe tests than Test Nb, IEC 60068-2-14: Change of temperature. Secondly it was considered justified to delete the 3 % value on the temperature difference between the chamber air and the wall temperatures. Thirdly it is proposed that the test specimen be powered throughout the test where required; and, finally, the annexes have been removed.

Environmental testing - Part 2-2: Tests - Test B: Dry heat

IEC 60068-2-2:2025 specifies dry heat temperature tests that are applicable to non-heat-dissipating and heat-dissipating specimens, to determine the ability of components, equipment or other articles to be used, transported or stored at high temperature. This document is applicable to energized as well as non-energized specimens that normally achieve temperature stability during the test. The specimens can be subject to test in packed condition (to simulate transportation and storage) or in unpacked condition (to simulate use). This document does not specify tests to determine the impact of temperature changes on specimens. This sixth edition cancels and replaces the fifth edition published in 2007. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) revision of the introduction and scope; b) inclusion of new figures and symbols for clarification purposes; c) clarification of the test procedure for ascertaining high or low air velocity in the test chamber; d) clarification of the requirements for measuring points around, on or in specimens; e) reintroduction of the nomogram procedure for the correction of the conditioning temperature when testing with high air velocity (Test Bd and Test Be); f) revision of the temperature tolerances of the test; g) revision of standardized requirements for the relevant specification and test report; h) inclusion of the advantages and disadvantages of the testing procedures.

ZOOM ON ... the Requirements department
To comply with a standard, you need to quickly understand its issues in order to determine its impact on your activity.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.

The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
