IEC 60068-3-1:2011
Environmental testing - Part 3-1: Supporting documentation and guidance - Cold and dry heat tests
IEC 60068-3-1:2011 provides guidance regarding the performance of cold and dry heat tests. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition, published in 1974, and constitutes a technical revision. The main changes with regard to the previous edition are as follows:- removal of guidance regarding thermal characteristics of chamber walls;- revision of sections that address environmental chambers that do not use movement of air for temperature control.

Gives background information for Tests A: Cold (IEC 68-2-1), and Tests B: Dry heat (IEC 68-2-2). Includes appendices on the effect of: chamber size on the surface temperature of a specimen when no forced air circulation is used; airflow on chamber conditions and on surface temperatures of test specimens; wire termination dimensions and material on surface temperature of a component; measurements of temperature, air velocity and emission coefficient.
Gives additional information for cases where temperature stability is not achieved during the test.
IEC 60068-3-1:2023 provides guidance regarding the performance of cold and dry heat tests. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2011. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) information relating to specimen temperatures has been revised; b) information relating to tests of multiple specimens has been revised; c) the effect of air density has been added; d) a recommendation for corrective actions regarding IR radiation has been added; e) the requirements for the mounting and supports of the specimen have been revised.
