Reliability of systems, equipment and components - Guide to reliability test conditions for consumer equipment - Conditions providing a high degree of simulation for equipment for stationary use in weatherprotected locations
This part contains preferred test conditions as referred to in Sub-clause 8.4 of IE C Publication 605-1. Whenever possible, test cycles should be chosen from among those given in this or other sections of IEC Publication 605-3. For applications not covered by Part 3, appropriate test cycles should be designed using IEC Publication 605-2.
This part is applicable to equipment for stationary use in weatherprotected locations and in temperate climates. The degree of simulation is high.
The test cycle provided here is not intended to replace tests for other purposes, such as qualification tests, functional performance tests and environmental tests.
