Environmental testing - Part 2-5: Tests - Test S: Simulated solar radiation at ground level and guidance for solar radiation testing and weathering

NEW!IEC 60068-2-5:2018 is available as IEC 60068-2-5:2018 RLV which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition.IEC 60068-2-5:2018 specifies the methods for testing equipment or components under simulated solar radiation conditions. This document is applicable to the equipment and components at the surface of the earth. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition of published in 2010. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: - the title of this document has been modified; - the current thermal effect test method, specified as "Test method Sa" has been retained and the weathering test method specified as "Test method Sb" has been added.

Okoljski preskusi - 2-5. del: Preskusi - Preskus S: Simulacija prizemnega sončnega obsevanja in navodilo za preskušanje sončnega obsevanja in vremenskih vplivov (IEC 60068-2-5:2018)

Ta del standarda IEC 60068-2 določa metode za preskušanje opreme ali komponent v pogojih simuliranega sončnega obsevanja.
Ta dokument se uporablja za opremo in komponente na zemeljski površini. Namen preskušanja je raziskati, kako simulirano sončno obsevanje vpliva na opremo in komponente ob prisotnosti vlage, kar poustvari vremenske vplive (temperaturo, vlažnost in/ali močenje), do katerih pride, ko so materiali v okolju, kjer se uporabljajo, izpostavljeni neposredni dnevni svetlobi ali dnevni svetlobi, ki se filtrira skozi okensko steklo. Ta dokument določa dve preskusni metodi, in sicer preskusno metodo Sa: preskus toplotnega učinka, in preskusno metodo Sb: preskus z vremenskimi vplivi.
