BS EN 60068-2-53:2010 Environmental testing. Tests and guidance. Combined climatic (temperature/humidity) and dynamic (vibration/shock) tests
BS EN 60068-2-53 provides a description of test methods and guidance for testing equipment or components under combined climatic and dynamic conditions.
The purpose of combined testing is to investigate to what extent the equipment or components are affected by combined climatic and dynamic tests.
The method of combined tests detects electrical, mechanical or other physical variations.
