Overview

EN 60721-1:1995/A2:1995 is a European classification standard published under CLC that defines how to categorize environmental conditions by their parameters and severities. Part 1 of EN 60721 establishes the framework used to describe environmental influences for the purpose of specification, design and testing. The document referenced (SIST EN 60721-1:2001/A2:2001) is a national identical adoption and includes an amendment to Table 1. This standard sits in the environmental testing domain (ICS 19.040).

Key topics

  • Scope and purpose: Provides a systematic method for classifying environmental conditions so products, systems and components can be specified and tested consistently.
  • Classification framework: Defines categories and severity levels that describe environmental exposure in a standardized way (as amended in Table 1 in the referenced national edition).
  • Use in documentation: Specifies how to record environmental parameters and severity levels in technical specifications, test plans and procurement documents.
  • Compatibility with testing: Serves as a basis for environmental test programs and for cross-referencing test severity to field conditions.

(Note: the extract indicates an amendment to Table 1; detailed parameter lists and numerical limits are contained in the full standard document.)

Applications

EN 60721-1:1995/A2:1995 is practical for organizations that need a consistent description of environmental conditions, including:

  • Manufacturers and product designers defining operating and storage environment requirements.
  • Test laboratories developing environmental test plans and interpreting results relative to specified severities.
  • Systems engineers and integrators who must ensure components meet environmental demands in assemblies.
  • Procurement and quality teams specifying environmental criteria in contracts and acceptance tests.
  • Regulatory and compliance professionals referencing standardized environmental classifications in certification dossiers.

Using the EN 60721 classification helps reduce ambiguity between suppliers and customers, align testing to expected field conditions, and support product reliability planning.
