Annex A
A.2 Contaminating fluids and their effects
Replace Clause A.2 with the following new Clause A.2:
A.2 Contaminating fluids and their effects
A.2.1 General
Components and equipment may be subject to contamination by fluids, either through normal
operation, accidental spillage or through leakage, for example from faulty pipes or pipe joints.
The contaminating fluid may not be at an elevated temperature, but a component or
equipment may become contaminated whilst it is at its elevated working temperature or it may
attain such a temperature after having been contaminated. Any effect may thus depend upon
the behaviour of the contaminant at elevated temperature, for example if it is volatile it may
disappear rapidly. If it is non-volatile and oxidizes slowly, a hard residue may remain.
Effects which may occur include packaging failure, crazing or swelling of plastics and rubbers,
leaching of anti-oxidants and other soluble materials, seal failure, adhesion failures, paint
legend removal and corrosion.
A number of standards exist which, although not referred to in this part of IEC 60068 in a
normative capacity, may be used in an informative capacity by specification writers (see
Clause A.10).
A.2.2 Fuels
Fuels vary widely in composition even within the same grade and from the same source.
Hydrocarbon-based fuels will, for the most part, be of the gasoline or kerosene type. The
grade of gasoline is improved by adding aromatic or oxygen-containing compounds, but these
additives increase the effect of fuels on normally fuel-resistant material. The composition
varies with the situation on the gasoline market, with the geographical area and can change
rapidly. Gasoline may be expected to evaporate rapidly, possibly with few permanently
harmful effects. However, kerosene may be more persistent and damage elastomers,
particularly at elevated temperatures. Fuels do not normally affect paints and most plastics,
but silicone resin bonded boards may tend to de-laminate after prolonged exposure. Some
fuels may have additives to inhibit icing or to dissipate static charges. Where there is reason
to believe that these additives may increase the severity of the test, th
...
