Part 3-14: Supporting documentation and guidance - Developing a
46 climatic sequential test
FOREWORD
51 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
52 all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
53 co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
54 in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
55 Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their
56 preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
57 may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
58 with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
59 Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
60 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
61 consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
62 interested IEC National Committees.
63 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
64 Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
65 Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
66 misinterpretation by any end user.
67 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
68 transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
69 any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
70 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
71 assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
72 services carried out by independent certification bodies.
73 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
74 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
75 members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
76 other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
77 expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications.
78 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
79 indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
80 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent
81 rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
82 International Standard IEC 60068-3-14 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 104:
83 Environmental conditions, classification and methods of test.
84 The text of this International Standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting

86 Full information on the voting for the approval of this International Standard can be found in the
87 report on voting indicated in the above table.
88 This document has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
89 The committee has decided that the contents of this document will remain unchanged until the
90 stability date indicated on the IEC website under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data related to
91 the specific document. At this date, the document will be

98 INTRODUCTION
99 The IEC 60068-2 series includes a variety of single and combined climatic condition tests. Some
100 of these tests can give cumulative effects or hysteretic effects, causing the unit-under-test
101 deteriorates, making it more vulnerable to the follow-up tests. Thus the determination of test
102 sequence can have significant influence to the conclusion of a test.
103 This part of IEC 60068 provides guidance for developing a climatic sequential test for a certain
104 type of product (electrical, electromechanical or electronic equipment and devices, as well as
105 their subassemblies, constituent parts and components). It is written for technicians, engineers
106 and managers in environment testing, and for those who need to understand the results of
107 sequential climatic environment tests.
108 With the increasing importance of the IEC Quality Assessment System for Electronic
109 Components (IECQ), it has become necessary to define the test sequence more precisely than
110 could be done in clause 7 of IEC 60068-1, in order to provide a satisfactory reproducibility of
111 the test. This International Standard describes in detail a composite test specifying a “climatic
112 sequence” for specimens of products, and it includes guidance in informative annexes for
113 specification writers and those performing the test.

115 ENVIRONMENTAL TESTING –
117 Part 3-14: Supporting documentation and guidance - Developing a
118 climatic sequential test
120 1 Scope
121 This part of IEC 60068-3 describes a generic process for developing a climatic sequential test
122 programme by sequencing the test methods selected from IEC 60068-2 series. The generic
123 process comprises a systematic approach to the development of a sequential environmental
124 test programme. The process is applicable to electrical product, and can be customized
125 according to specific product requirements and applications. The process is designed for use
126 by both product suppliers and purchasers. The full process is particularly relevant to electrical
127 products, which would include products containing any components or material that have the
128 potential to degrade, as a consequence of environmental exposure.
