Reliability of systems, equipment and components - Guide to reliability test conditions for consumer equipment - Conditions providing a low degree of simulation for equipment for stationary use in partially weatherprotected locations
This section of IEC 605-3 contains preferred test conditions as referred to in 8.4 of IEC 605-1. During exposure to the test conditions, the test items should be monitored according to 9.1 of IEC 605-1.
This section is applicable to equipment installed in partially weatherprotected locations in a climate belonging to the group of "moderate" climates covered by IEC 721-2-1. The degree of simulation is low.
The test cycle provided here is not intended to replace tests for other purposes, such as qualification tests, functional performance tests, environmental tests and tests aiming at the verification of the ability to survive or function during extreme conditions of storage, transportation or use.
