7 Draft ETSI EN 300 019-2-7 V3.0.17 (2024-06)
4.1 Equipment setup and configuration
The equipment shall be tested in its operational state throughout the test conditions described in the present document
unless otherwise stated. Input and load conditions of the equipment shall be chosen to obtain full utilization of the
equipment under test. The heat dissipation shall be maximized, except for the steady state, low temperature test, where it
shall be minimized.
4.2 Performance criteria
The following performance criteria shall apply in the tests defined by the present document.
Performance criterion A:
The equipment shall function according to the manufacturer specifications before, during and after the tests. No
degradation of performance or loss of function is allowed below the performance level specified by the manufacturer when
the apparatus is used as intended. If the minimum performance level is not specified by the manufacturer, then this may be
deduced from the product description and documentation and what the user may reasonably expect from the apparatus if
used as intended.
Performance criterion B:
The equipment shall function according to the manufacturer specifications before and after the tests. During the test it is not
required to monitor the equipment functionality. No degradation of performance or loss of function is allowed below the
performance level specified by the manufacturer when the apparatus is used as intended. If the minimum performance level
is not specified by the manufacturer, then this may be deduced from the product description and documentation and what
the user may reasonably expect from the apparatus if used as intended.
Performance criterion C:
The equipment shall function according to the manufacturer specifications before and after the tests. No degradation of
performance or loss of function is allowed below the performance level specified by the manufacturer when the apparatus
is used as intended. If the minimum performance level is not specified by the manufacturer, then this may be deduced from
the product description and documentation and what the user may reasonably expect from the apparatus if used as intended.
During the application of the test, temporary loss of function is allowed but after the test the equipment shall restore to the
normal functionality without replacement of components, manual rebooting or human intervention.
The equipment shall sustain the test without permanent structural or mechanical damage.
Performance criterion D:
This performance criterion applies to the enclosure of the equipment. No corrosion traces (e.g. rust) or deterioration of the
enclosure shall occur at the end of the test.

ETSI
8 Draft ETSI EN 300 019-2-7 V3.0.17 (2024-06)
4.5 Specification T 7.3: partly weatherprotected and non-
weatherprotected locations
The tests specifications T 7.3 of the present document shall apply to equipment, depending on the selected IEC mechanical
class, used at partly weatherprotected locations in buildings of such a construction that extremely low temperatures are
avoided. This class also applies to use at non-weatherprotected locations in a Warm Temperate climate
and to transfer between these locations. During cold seasons non-weatherprotected use and transfer is limited. See tables 3,
5 and 6.
4.6 Specification T 7.3E: partly weatherprotected and non-
weatherprotected locations - extended
The tests specifications T 7.3E of the present document shall apply to equipment, depending on the selected IEC
mechanical class, used at partly weatherprotected locations in buildings of any construction - except in extremely cold and
cold climates - where extremely low temperatures shall be avoided. This class also applies at non-weatherprotected
locations in moderate open-air climates and to transfer between these conditions (during extremely cold days use and
transfer is limited). See tables 4, 5 and 6.
4.7 Specification T 7.1: temperature-controlled locations - climatic
test
This specification in table 1 shall apply to use at, and direct transfer between, permanently temperature-controlled enclosed
locations where humidity is usually not controlled described in ETSI EN 300 019-1-7 [1]. See tables 1, 5 and 6.

no: This condition does not occur in this class.
none: See corresponding note for detail on why test severity is not required.
NOTE 1: (Air temperature, low).
The characteristic severity should be used as a cold start up temperature, but it may be modified (within the class characteristic severity range) by the product
specification. In this case, the cold start up test shall commence once low temperature stability is achieved.
NOTE 2: (Air temperature, high).
If two test temperatures are given, the lower test temperature applies if the equipment is protected against solar and heat radiation or the equipment is ventilated
(natural or forced). The higher test temperature includes the heating effects of solar and/or heat radiation. If a high temperature start up test is performed, the
characteristic severity should be used as a high start up temperature, but it may be modified (within the class characteristic severity range) by the product
specification. In this case, the high temperature start up test shall commence once high temperature stability is achieved.
NOTE 3: (Air temperature, change).
The change of temperature test is normally used to check design tolerancing. IEC test Na is recommended with severities equal to characteristic severities.
Whenever possible, the equipment function shall be monitored throughout the test.
NOTE 4: (Relative humidity, low).
There is no IEC 60068-2 series test method for this parameter.
NOTE 5: (Humidity, relative, high).
IEC 60068-2-78 [5] Test Cab shall be used with test values not higher than climatogram limits for this class.
NOTE 6: (Condensation).
IEC 60068-2-30 [6] Test Db shall be used with test values not higher than climatogram limits for this class.
NOTE 7: (Humidity, absolute, high).
This effect is considered to be partly included in the damp heat test IEC 60068-2-78 [5] Test Cab.
NOTE 8: (Air pressure, low and high).
No test is recommended for normal applications, because the effect of air pressure is evaluated at the component level.
NOTE 9: (Radiation, solar).
The higher test temperature as described in note 2 includes the heating effect of solar radiation. Photochemical tests can be made separately for components and
materials.
NOTE 10: (Radiation, heat).
The higher test temperature as described in note 2 includes the heating effect.
NOTE 11: (Chemically active substances).
The characteristic severities are given as mean/maximum values. These severities should be considered when designing the equipment and when choosing
components and materials. No test is recommended in the present document.
NOTE 12: (Mechanically active substances).
The characteristic severities are much lower than lowest test severity in IEC 60068-2-68 [i.3] Test Lb and therefore no test is recommended. This condition should
be considered when designing the equipment and when choosing components and materials.

no: This condition does not occur in this class.
none: See corresponding note for detail on why test severity is not required.
NOTE 1: (Air temperature, low).
The characteristic severity should be used as a cold start up temperature, but it may be modified (within the class characteristic severity range) by the product
specification. In this case, the cold start up test shall commence once low temperature stability is achieved.
NOTE 2: (Air temperature, high).
If two test temperatures are given, the lower test temperature applies if the equipment is protected against solar and heat radiation or the equipment is ventilated
(natural or forced). The higher test temperature includes the heating effects of solar and/or heat radiation. If a high temperature start up test is performed, the
characteristic severity should be used as a high start up temperature, but it may be modified (within the class characteristic severity range) by the product
specification. In this case, the high temperature start up test shall commence once high temperature stability is achieved.
NOTE 3: (Air temperature, change).
The change of temperature test is normally used to check design tolerancing. IEC test Na is recommended with severities equal to characteristic severities.
Whenever possible, the equipment function shall be monitored throughout the test.
NOTE 4: (Relative humidity, low).
There is no IEC 60068-2 series test method for this parameter.
NOTE 5: (Humidity, relative, high).
IEC 60068-2-78 [5] Test Cab shall be used with test values not higher than climatogram limits for this class.
NOTE 6: (Condensation).
IEC 60068-2-30 [6] Test Db shall be used with test values not higher than climatogram limits for this class.
NOTE 7: (Humidity, absolute, high).
This effect is considered to be partly included in the damp heat test IEC 60068-2-78 [5] Test Cab.
NOTE 8: (Air pressure, low and high).
No test is recommended for normal applications, because the effect of air pressure is evaluated at the component level.
NOTE 9: (Radiation, solar).
The higher test temperature as described in note 2 includes the heating effect of solar radiation. Photochemical tests can be made separately for components and
materials.
NOTE 10: (Radiation, heat).
The higher test temperature as described in note 2 includes the heating effect.
NOTE 11: (Chemically active substances).
The characteristic severities are given as mean/maximum values. These severities should be considered when designing the equipment and when choosing
components and materials. No test is recommended in the present document.
NOTE 12: (Mechanically active substances).
The characteristic severities are much lower than lowest test severity in IEC 60068-2-68 [i.3] Test Lb and therefore no test is recommended. This condition should
be considered when designing the equipment and when choosing components and materials.

7 ETSI EN 300 019-2-7 V3.1.1 (2024-09)
4.1 Equipment setup and configuration
The equipment shall be tested in its operational state throughout the test conditions described in the present document
unless otherwise stated. Input and load conditions of the equipment shall be chosen to obtain full utilization of the
equipment under test. The heat dissipation shall be maximized, except for the steady state, low temperature test, where
it shall be minimized.
4.2 Performance criteria
The following performance criteria shall apply in the tests defined by the present document.
Performance criterion A:
The equipment shall function according to the manufacturer specifications before, during and after the tests. No
degradation of performance or loss of function is allowed below the performance level specified by the manufacturer
when the apparatus is used as intended. If the minimum performance level is not specified by the manufacturer, then
this may be deduced from the product description and documentation and what the user may reasonably expect from the
apparatus if used as intended.
Performance criterion B:
The equipment shall function according to the manufacturer specifications before and after the tests. During the test it is
not required to monitor the equipment functionality. No degradation of performance or loss of function is allowed
below the performance level specified by the manufacturer when the apparatus is used as intended. If the minimum
performance level is not specified by the manufacturer, then this may be deduced from the product description and
documentation and what the user may reasonably expect from the apparatus if used as intended.
Performance criterion C:
The equipment shall function according to the manufacturer specifications before and after the tests. No degradation of
performance or loss of function is allowed below the performance level specified by the manufacturer when the
apparatus is used as intended. If the minimum performance level is not specified by the manufacturer, then this may be
deduced from the product description and documentation and what the user may reasonably expect from the apparatus if
used as intended.
During the application of the test, temporary loss of function is allowed but after the test the equipment shall restore to
the normal functionality without replacement of components, manual rebooting or human intervention.
The equipment shall sustain the test without permanent structural or mechanical damage.
Performance criterion D:
This performance criterion applies to the enclosure of the equipment. No corrosion traces (e.g. rust) or deterioration of
the enclosure shall occur at the end of the test.
4.3 Specification T 7.1: temperature-controlled locations
The tests specifications T 7.1 of the present document shall apply to equipment, depending on the selected IEC
mechanical class, used at, and direct transfer between, permanently temperature-controlled and enclosed locations.

control. See tables 2, 5 and 6.
ETSI
8 ETSI EN 300 019-2-7 V3.1.1 (2024-09)
4.5 Specification T 7.3: partly weatherprotected and non-
weatherprotected locations
The tests specifications T 7.3 of the present document shall apply to equipment, depending on the selected IEC
mechanical class, used at partly weatherprotected locations in buildings of such a construction that extremely low
temperatures are avoided. This class also applies to use at non-weatherprotected locations in a Warm Temperate climate
and to transfer between these locations. During cold seasons non-weatherprotected use and transfer is limited. See
tables 3, 5 and 6.
4.6 Specification T 7.3E: partly weatherprotected and non-
weatherprotected locations - extended
The tests specifications T 7.3E of the present document shall apply to equipment, depending on the selected IEC
mechanical class, used at partly weatherprotected locations in buildings of any construction - except in extremely cold
and cold climates - where extremely low temperatures shall be avoided. This class also applies at non-weatherprotected
locations in moderate open-air climates and to transfer between these conditions (during extremely cold days use and
transfer is limited). See tables 4, 5 and 6.
4.7 Specification T 7.1: temperature-controlled locations -
climatic test
This specification in table 1 shall apply to use at, and direct transfer between, permanently temperature-controlled
enclosed locations where humidity is usually not controlled described in ETSI EN 300 019-1-7 [1]. See tables 1, 5 and
6.

no: This condition does not occur in this class.
none: See corresponding note for detail on why test severity is not required.
NOTE 1: (Air temperature, low).
The characteristic severity should be used as a cold start up temperature, but it may be modified (within the class characteristic severity range) by the product
specification. In this case, the cold start up test shall commence once low temperature stability is achieved.
NOTE 2: (Air temperature, high).
If two test temperatures are given, the lower test temperature applies if the equipment is protected against solar and heat radiation or the equipment is ventilated
(natural or forced). The higher test temperature includes the heating effects of solar and/or heat radiation. If a high temperature start up test is performed, the
characteristic severity should be used as a high start up temperature, but it may be modified (within the class characteristic severity range) by the product
specification. In this case, the high temperature start up test shall commence once high temperature stability is achieved.
NOTE 3: (Air temperature, change).
The change of temperature test is normally used to check design tolerancing. IEC test Na is recommended with severities equal to characteristic severities.
Whenever possible, the equipment function shall be monitored throughout the test.
NOTE 4: (Relative humidity, low).
There is no IEC 60068-2 series test method for this parameter.
NOTE 5: (Humidity, relative, high).
IEC 60068-2-78 [5] Test Cab shall be used with test values not higher than climatogram limits for this class.
NOTE 6: (Condensation).
IEC 60068-2-30 [6] Test Db shall be used with test values not higher than climatogram limits for this class.
NOTE 7: (Humidity, absolute, high).
This effect is considered to be partly included in the damp heat test IEC 60068-2-78 [5] Test Cab.
NOTE 8: (Air pressure, low and high).
No test is recommended for normal applications, because the effect of air pressure is evaluated at the component level.
NOTE 9: (Radiation, solar).
The higher test temperature as described in note 2 includes the heating effect of solar radiation. Photochemical tests can be made separately for components and
materials.
NOTE 10: (Radiation, heat).
The higher test temperature as described in note 2 includes the heating effect.
NOTE 11: (Chemically active substances).
The characteristic severities are given as mean/maximum values. These severities should be considered when designing the equipment and when choosing
components and materials. No test is recommended in the present document.
NOTE 12: (Mechanically active substances).
The characteristic severities are much lower than lowest test severity in IEC 60068-2-68 [i.3] Test Lb and therefore no test is recommended. This condition should
be considered when designing the equipment and when choosing components and materials.
