EN 60068-2-57:2013

Environmental testing - Part 2-57: Tests - Test Ff: Vibration - Time-history and sine-beat method

IEC 60068-2-57:2013 provides a standard procedure for determining, by the time-history and sine-beat methods, the ability of a specimen to withstand specified severities of transient vibration. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition, published in 1999. It also replaces IEC 60068-2-59:1990, which will be withdrawn. This edition includes only minor technical changes with respect to the previous edition: - editorially combines IEC 60068-2-57 and IEC 60068-2-59; - the title has been modified to include a sine beat method.

Essais d'environnement - Partie 2-57: Essais – Essai Ff: Vibrations – Méthode par accélérogrammes et sinusoïdes modulées

La CEI 60068-2-57:2013 a pour objet de donner des règles d'exécution normalisées pour déterminer l'aptitude d'un spécimen à supporter des sévérités données de vibrations de courte durée, au moyen des méthodes par accélérogrammes et sinusoïdes modulées. Cette troisième édition annule et remplace la deuxième édition, publiée en 1999. Elle remplace également la CEI 60068-2-59:1990, qui sera retirée. Cette édition inclut seulement des modifications techniques mineures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente: - combinaison éditoriale de la CEI 60068-2-57 et de la CEI 60068-2-59; - le titre a été modifié afin d'inclure la méthode d'essai sinusoïde modulé.
