Mechanical structures for electronic equipment - Part 3: Environmental requirements, tests and safety aspects

This part of IEC 61969 specifies a set of basic environmental requirements and tests, as well as safety aspects for outdoor enclosures under conditions of non-weatherprotected locations above ground. The purpose of this standard is to define a minimum level of environmental performance in order to meet requirements of storage, transport and final installation. It is the intention to establish basic environmental performance criteria for outdoor enclosure compliance.

Mechanische Bauweisen für elektronische Einrichtungen - Außengehäuse - Teil 3: Umgebungsanforderungen, Prüfungen und Sicherheitsaspekte

Structures mécaniques pour equipment electronique - Enveloppes de plein air - Partie 3: Exigences environnementales, essais et aspects de la sécurité

La CEI 61969-3:2011 spécifie un ensemble d'exigences et d'essais environnementaux de base, ainsi que les aspects de la sécurité relatifs aux enveloppes de plein air dans des situations d'exposition non protégée contre les intempéries, au niveau du sol.  L'objet de la présente norme est de définir un niveau minimal de performances environnementales, afin de répondre aux exigences de stockage, de transport et d'installation finale. Il s'agit d'établir des critères de performances environnementales de base en vue de la conformité des enveloppes de plein air. Cette deuxième édition annule et remplace la première édition, parue en 2001, dont elle constitue une révision technique. Les principaux changements techniques par rapport à l'édition précédente sont les suivants: Le Tableau 1 et le Tableau 6 ont été étendus pour couvrir les exigences et les tests applicables aux conditions de plein air.

Mehanske konstrukcije elektronske opreme - 3. del: Okoljevarstvene zahteve, preskusi in varnostni vidiki

Ta del standarda IEC 61969 določa niz osnovnih okoljevarstvenih zahtev in preskusov ter varnostne vidike za ohišja na prostem pod pogoji na lokacijah nad tlemi, ki niso zaščitene pred vremenskimi vplivi. Namen tega standarda je opredeliti najmanjšo raven okoljevarstvenih zmogljivosti za izpolnjevanje zahtev v zvezi s pogoji shranjevanja, transporta in končne namestitve. Namen je vzpostaviti osnovne kriterije okoljevarstvene zmogljivosti za skladnost ohišij na prostem.

Part 3: Environmental requirements, tests and safety aspects

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 61969-3 has been prepared by subcommittee 48D: Mechanical
structures for electronic equipment, of IEC technical committee 48: Electromechanical
components and mechanical structures for electronic equipment.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition issued in 2001. It constitutes a
technical revision.
The main technical changes with regard to the previous edition are as follows.
Table 1 and Table 6 have been extended with requirements and tests, relevant for outdoor
conditions.
