Environmental testing - Part 3-4: Supporting documentation and guidance - Damp heat tests
Provides the necessary information to assist in preparing relevant specifications, such as standards for components or equipment, in order to select appropriate tests and test severities for specific products and, in some cases, specific types of application. The object of damp heat tests is to determine the ability of products to withstand the stresses occurring in a high relative humidity environment, with or without condensation, and with special regard to variations of electrical and mechanical characteristics. Damp heat tests may also be utilized to check the resistance of a specimen to some forms of corrosion attack.

Essais d'environnement - Partie 3-4: Documentation d'accompagnement et guide - Essais de chaleur humide
Rassemble les informations nécessaires aux rédacteurs qui, lors de l'établissement d'une spécification particulière telles que des normes pour les composants ou les matériels, choisissent les essais appropriés et leurs sévérités pour un produit particulier et, dans certain cas, pour des types d'application donnés. Le but de ces essais de chaleur humide est de déterminer l'aptitude des produits à supporter les contraintes d'un environnement à forte humidité relative, avec ou sans condensation, et plus particulièrement de déterminer les variations de leurs caractéristiques électriques et mécaniques. Les essais de chaleur humide peuvent aussi être appliqués en vue de vérifier la résistance d'un spécimen à certaines formes d'attaque par corrosion.
