Classification of environmental conditions - Part 3-9: Classification of groups of environmental parameters and their severities - Microclimates inside products

IEC 60721-3-9:2024 classifies groups of microclimatic conditions, to which components (basic parts, assemblies, built-in units) can be subjected inside products, which are used under the climatic conditions as classified in IEC 60721-3-3 and IEC 60721-3-4.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1993, Amendment 1:1994 and Corrigendum 1:1995. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) Clause 2 has been updated;
b) Clause 4 has been re-edited and simplified;
c) Annex A has been revised and updated;
d) a new Annex B has been added and gives the origin of the constitutional diagram for humid air, which is the basis of drawing the climatogram for a microclimate.

Environmental testing - Part 2-86: Tests -Test Fx: Vibration - Multi-exciter and multi-axis method

IEC 60068-2-86:2024 provides a test procedure for use with multi-exciter and multi-axis vibration test systems. The vibration test is intended for general application to components, equipment, and other products, hereinafter referred to as "specimens", subjected to dynamic environments that could arise during an equipment life cycle. Although this document is mainly intended for vibration testing, the procedure is also applied to certain types of shock and transient tests.

Corrigendum 1 - Classification of environmental conditions - Part 2-6: Environmental conditions appearing in nature - Earthquake vibration and shock

IEC 60721-2-6:2022 deals with environmental conditions appearing in nature related to earthquake vibrations and shocks.
Its object is to define some fundamental properties and quantities for characterization of earthquakes as background material for the severities to which products are liable to be exposed during storage and use. The accelerations given are for ground surface conditions only. Conditions related to structures are referred to but restricted to general case descriptions.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1990. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
the main aim of this revision is to classify in a limited number of classes the seismic activity level of the zone where the equipment could be installed;
the correlation between intensity scales, magnitude scales and peak ground acceleration is deleted due to the scientific uncertainty to define such a correlation in a rigorous way;
updated scales are given both for intensity and for magnitude;
the earthquake zone map, which was not usable in practice, is replaced by an annex giving information about how to retrieve consistent peak ground acceleration distribution all over the world;
with regard to identification of the peak ground seismic acceleration of the zone, where the equipment could be installed, the user is made aware that national standards and laws can apply.
