Okoljski inženiring (EE) - Okoljski pogoji in preskusi vplivov okolja na telekomunikacijsko opremo - 1-4. del: Klasifikacija okoljskih pogojev - Fiksna uporaba na lokacijah, ki niso zaščitene pred vremenskimi vplivi
Namen tega dokumenta je opredeliti razrede okoljskih pogojev in njihovih ekstremnih oblik, ki jim je oprema lahko izpostavljena. Vključene so zgolj ekstremne oblike ki so lahko škodljive za opremo. Navedene ekstremne oblike so tiste, za katere je verjetnost, da bodo prekoračene, majhna; v splošnem manj kot 1 %. Ta dokument velja za opremo, nameščeno za fiksno uporabo na lokacijah, ki niso zaščitene pred vremenskimi vplivi, opredeljeno v točki 5, vključno s časom postavitvenih del, časom nedelovanja, vzdrževanjem in popravili.

3 Definitions
For the purposes of the present document, the following terms and definitions apply:
absolute humidity: mass of water vapour in grammes which is associated with one cubic metre of dry air in an
air/water vapour mixture
non-weatherprotected location: location at which the equipment is not protected from direct weather influences
relative humidity: ratio of the partial pressure of the water vapour in moist air at a given temperature, to the partial
pressure of the water vapour in saturated air at the same temperature
stationary use: use of the equipment mounted firmly on the structure, or on mounting devices, or it is permanently
placed at a certain site
NOTE: It is not intended for portable use - but short periods of handling during erection works, down time,
maintenance and repair at the location are included.
4 Environmental classes
The classes shown in parentheses, e.g. (4C3), may be selected for special applications.
These classes shall apply to a non-weatherprotected location.
These classes shall apply to locations:
- which are directly exposed to an open-air climate, including solar radiation, movement of the surrounding air,
precipitation and water jets; splashing water;
- where mould growth, or attacks by animals but excluding termites, may occur;
- with normal levels of contaminants experienced in urban areas with industrial activities scattered over the
whole area and/or with heavy traffic. It also applies to coastal areas;
NOTE 1: At locations in the immediate neighbourhood of industrial sources with chemical emissions either special
precautions should be taken or a special chemical class should be chosen.
- in areas with sand or dust sources, including urban areas;
NOTE 2: At locations in geographical areas with wind-driven sand or dust in air special precautions should be
taken or a special class for mechanically active substances should be chosen.
- where transmitted vibrations are experienced from machines or passing vehicles. Higher level shocks may be
experienced e.g. from adjacent machines.
NOTE 3: More severe mechanical conditions are to be expected for equipment intended for public use. Special
requirements should be stated for such equipment, e.g. protection against vandalism.
If earthquake conditions can be expected, the conditions stated in clause 5.6 apply.

3 Definitions
For the purposes of the present document, the following terms and definitions apply:
absolute humidity: mass of water vapour in grammes which is associated with one cubic metre of dry air in an
air/water vapour mixture
non-weatherprotected location: location at which the equipment is not protected from direct weather influences
relative humidity: ratio of the partial pressure of the water vapour in moist air at a given temperature, to the partial
pressure of the water vapour in saturated air at the same temperature
stationary use: use of the equipment mounted firmly on the structure, or on mounting devices, or it is permanently
placed at a certain site
NOTE: It is not intended for portable use - but short periods of handling during erection works, down time,
maintenance and repair at the location are included.
4 Environmental classes
The classes shown in parentheses, e.g. (4C3), may be selected for special applications.
These classes shall apply to a non-weatherprotected location.
These classes shall apply to locations:
- which are directly exposed to an open-air climate, including solar radiation, movement of the surrounding air,
precipitation and water jets; splashing water;
- where mould growth, or attacks by animals but excluding termites, may occur;
- with normal levels of contaminants experienced in urban areas with industrial activities scattered over the
whole area and/or with heavy traffic. It also applies to coastal areas;
NOTE 1: At locations in the immediate neighbourhood of industrial sources with chemical emissions either special
precautions should be taken or a special chemical class should be chosen.
- in areas with sand or dust sources, including urban areas;
NOTE 2: At locations in geographical areas with wind-driven sand or dust in air special precautions should be
taken or a special class for mechanically active substances should be chosen.
- where transmitted vibrations are experienced from machines or passing vehicles. Higher level shocks may be
experienced e.g. from adjacent machines.
NOTE 3: More severe mechanical conditions are to be expected for equipment intended for public use. Special
requirements should be stated for such equipment, e.g. protection against vandalism.
If earthquake conditions can be expected, the conditions stated in clause 5.6 apply.
Two groups of classes are considered:
- Classes 4.1 and 4.1E apply to general climatic conditions - applies to climatic conditions in most of
