International standard Cancelled

Environmental testing - Part 3-4: Supporting documentation and guidance - Damp heat tests

IEC 60068-3-4:2001 Provides the necessary information to assist in preparing relevant specifications, such as standards for components or equipment, in order to select appropriate tests and test severities for specific products and, in some cases, specific types of application. The object of damp heat tests is to determine the ability of products to withstand the stresses occurring in a high relative humidity environment, with or without condensation, and with special regard to variations of electrical and mechanical characteristics. Damp heat tests may also be utilized to check the resistance of a specimen to some forms of corrosion attack.

Environmental testing - Part 3-4: Supporting documentation and guidance - Damp heat tests

IEC 60068-3-4:2023 provides the necessary information and the basic principles of the effect of humidity in the context of environmental testing to assist in preparing relevant specifications, such as standards for components or equipment. Furthermore, information is provided on operating climatic test chambers. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2001. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) the requirements for distilled and deionized water have been revised; b) recommendations for the cleaning procedure of test chambers have been included; c) humidification systems (ultrasonic humidifiers and atomizers) have been added; d) the description of water penetration mechanisms has been refined.
