1 Scope

This part of IEC 60068 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.
