Overview
EN 60068-2-75:2014 (IEC 60068-2-75:2014) is a European adoption of an IEC environmental testing standard that specifies hammer (impact) test methods for electrotechnical products. The standard defines three coordinated test methods to determine a specimen’s ability to withstand specified severities of impact, helping demonstrate product robustness and an acceptable level of safety. Energy levels covered range from 0.14 J to 50 J. This second edition (2014) replaces the 1997 edition and is classified as a basic safety publication in accordance with IEC Guide 104.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Three test methods:
- Test Eha - pendulum hammer (suitable for lower energy levels and specific test geometries)
- Test Ehb - spring hammer (includes calibration procedures)
- Test Ehc - vertical hammer (drop-type impacts)
- Impact specification: tests apply a prescribed number of impacts defined by their impact energy and direction to specified locations on the specimen.
- Energy range: coordinated levels from 0.14 J to 50 J to cover light to moderate impact severities.
- Striking elements and tooling: standardized shapes and coordinated characteristics (see tables in the standard) to ensure repeatability and comparability.
- Test sequence and control: requirements for preconditioning, mounting, initial and final measurements, functional monitoring during testing, and recovery after impact.
- Calibration and measurement: guidance and a normative procedure (Annex B) for calibrating spring hammers, plus guidance on measurement points and apparatus setup.
- Guidance annexes: informative notes on when to apply impact tests, selecting test apparatus and energy levels, and example apparatus drawings.
Practical applications and users
- Intended primarily for manufacturers, design engineers, product safety and compliance engineers, and test laboratories working with electrical and electronic equipment.
- Typical uses:
- Verifying mechanical robustness of switches, connectors, enclosures, and consumer-electronic housings.
- Demonstrating compliance for safety assessments where mechanical impact resistance is required.
- Reproducing standardized impact conditions for R&D, failure analysis, or qualification testing.

FOREWORD 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations. 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any misinterpretation by any end user. 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter. 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any services carried out by independent certification bodies. 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication. 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is indispensable for the correct application of this publication. 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. International Standard IEC 60068-2-75 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 104: Environmental conditions, classification and methods of test.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition, published in 1997, and constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical change with respect to the previous edition: – reconsideration of some values in Tables 1 and 2. Although some values are no longer recommended, they have been retained as alternatives for historical consistency purposes.

– 6 – IEC 60068-2-75:2014 © IEC 2014 INTRODUCTION Mechanical impacts likely to stress electrotechnical equipment in service can be generated by hammers of various types. For standardization purposes, the results of such testing should not depend on the type of testing apparatus and therefore, the characteristics of the various types of test hammers described in this part of IEC 60068 are intended to be as close as practicable for the same severity level. It is important to note that both Clause 3 and the test method selected from Clauses 4, 5, and 6 need to be complied with in order to satisfy the requirements of this International Standard. The severity levels are, in general, taken from IEC 60721-1. For coordination purposes, it has been necessary to change certain fundamental parameters of the previous tests Ef: Impact, pendulum hammer, and Eg: Impact, spring hammer. In all cases, both sets of parameters are shown at the appropriate places in the text. Although some values are no longer recommended, they have been retained as alternatives for historical consistency purposes. This is because they have application in certain industries as historic comparators. SIST EN 60068-2-75:2014

1 Scope This part of IEC 60068 provides three standardized and coordinated test methods for determining the ability of a specimen to withstand specified severities of impact. It is used, in particular, to demonstrate an acceptable level of robustness when assessing the safety of a product and is primarily intended for the testing of electrotechnical items. It consists of the application to the specimen of a prescribed number of impacts defined by their impact energy and applied in the prescribed directions. This part of IEC 60068 covers energy levels ranging from 0,14 J (joules) to 50 J (joules). Three types of test apparatus are applicable to perform these tests. Annex C provides some guidance as to this aspect. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

– 8 – IEC 60068-2-75:2014 © IEC 2014 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions used
in ISO 2041 or in IEC 60068-1, together with the following, apply. 3.1
combined mass of the striking element sum of the masses of the striking element and of the element's fixing system 3.2
fixing point part of the specimen in contact with the mounting fixture at the point where the specimen is normally fastened in service 3.3
equivalent mass mass of the striking element and any relevant portions of the test apparatus which, combined with its velocity, provides the impact energy Note 1 to entry: For the particular application to the pendulum hammer apparatus, mass of the simple pendulum hammer calculated from the measure of the vertical force (in newtons) to be applied in the axis of the striking element to maintain the arm of the pendulum in a horizontal position, divided by the earth's gravity. When the mass of the arm is evenly distributed, the equivalent mass is equal to the sum of the combined mass of the striking element plus half the mass of the arm. 3.4
measuring point point marked on the surface of the striking element where the line through the point of intersection of the axes of the arms of both of the pendulum and of the striking element, and perpendicular to the plane through both axes, meets the surface (see Figure 2). Note 1 to entry: In some IEC standards which include a pendulum hammer test, the term "checking point" has been used but it has not been used here in order to avoid confusion with "check point " in other parts of IEC 60068-2. Note 2 to entry: Theoretically, the centre of gravity of the striking element should be the measuring point. In practice, the centre of gravity is either difficult to determine or inaccessible, and the measuring point is therefore defined as above. 3.5
height of fall vertical distance between the position of the measuring point when the pendulum is released and its position at the moment of impact (see Figure D.1). 4 Provisions common to all hammer test methods 4.1 Severities 4.1.1 General The severity is defined by the impact energy value chosen from 4.1.2, and the number of impacts according to 4.1.3. 4.1.2 Impact energy value The impact energy value shall be one of the following, as prescribed by the relevant specification:
0,14 – 0,2 – (0,3) – 0,35 – (0,4) – 0,5 – 0,7 – 1 – 2 – 5 – 10 – 20 – 50 J (joules). SIST EN 60068-2-75:2014

NOTE Figures in brackets appear in previous IEC 60068-2 standards, although no longer recommended, they may be used for historic consistency. 4.1.3 Number of impacts Unless otherwise prescribed by the relevant specification, the number of impacts shall be three per location. 4.2 Test apparatus 4.2.1 Description Three types of test apparatus are available to perform these tests:
– the pendulum hammer; – the spring hammer; – the vertical hammer. The types of test apparatus are defined in Clauses 5, 6 and 7 as tests Eha, Ehb and Ehc, respectively. The coordinated characteristics of the striking element are, in principle, similar in all three cases and are stated in Table 1 in relation to the outline shown in Figure 1. Dimensions are in millimetres. Tolerances are as per class m of ISO 2768-1, unless otherwise stated.
