22、2 h + 12 h cycle) 1 Scope This part of IEC 60068 determines the suitability of components, equipment or other articles for use, transportation and storage under conditions of high humidity combined with cyclic temperature changes and, in general, producing condensation on the surface of the specimen
23、. If the test is being used to verify the performance of a specimen whilst it is being transported or stored in packaging then the packaging will normally be fitted when the test conditions are being applied. For small, low mass specimens, it may be difficult to produce condensation on the surface o
24、f the specimen using this procedure; users should consider the use of an alternative procedure such as that given to IEC 60068-2-38. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

27、e cycles in which the relative humidity is maintained at a high level. Two variants of the cycle are given which are identical except for the temperature fall period; during this part of the cycle, variant 2 allows wider tolerances of relative humidity and the rate of temperature fall. The upper tem
28、perature of the cycle and the number of cycles (see Clause 5) determine the test severity. Test profiles illustrating the procedure are shown in Figures 1, 2a, 2b and 3. 4Licensed Copy: Wang Bin, na, Tue May 09 07:40:05 BST 2006, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSI 5 EN 60068-2-30:2005 The tolerances stated
29、in this standard do not take measurement uncertainty into consideration. 4 Testing chamber Construction requirements 4.1 The temperature can be varied cyclically between 25 C 3 K and the appropriate upper temperature specified with the tolerance and rate of change specified in 7.3 and Figures 2a or
30、2b, as applicable. The total temperature tolerance of 3 K is intended to take account of absolute errors in the measurement, slow changes of temperature, and temperature variations of the working space. However, in order to maintain the relative humidity within the required tolerances, it is necessa
31、ry to keep the temperature difference between any two points in the working space at any moment within narrower limits. The required humidity conditions will not be achieved if such temperature differences exceed 1 K. It may also be necessary to keep short-term fluctuations within 0,5 K to maintain
32、the required humidity. 4.2 The relative humidity in the working space can be maintained within the limits given in 7.3 and in Figures 2a or 2b, as applicable. 4.3 Care shall be taken to ensure that the conditions prevailing at any point in the working space are uniform and are as similar as possible
33、 to those prevailing in the immediate vicinity of suitably located temperature and humidity sensing devices. The chamber shall meet the performance criteria as detailed in IEC 60068-3-6. 4.4 The specimens under test shall not be subjected to radiant heat from the chamber conditioning processes. 4.5
34、Water used for the maintenance of chamber humidity shall have a resistivity of not less than 500 m. Condensed water shall be continuously drained from the chamber and not used again until it has been re-purified. Precautions shall be taken to ensure that no condensed water is allowed to fall on the
35、specimens. 4.6 The dimensions, properties and/or electrical loading of the specimens under test shall not appreciably influence conditions within the chamber. 5 Severities 5.1 The combination of the upper temperature and the number of cycles define the severity of the test. 5.2 The severity shall be
36、 chosen from the following: a) upper temperature: 40 C, number of cycles: 2, 6, 12, 21, 56; b) upper temperature: 55 C, number of cycles: 1, 2, 6. Licensed Copy: Wang Bin, na, Tue May 09 07:40:05 BST 2006, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSIEN 60068-2-30:2005 6 6 Initial measurements The specimens shall be v
37、isually inspected, and functionally tested, as required by the relevant specification. 7 Conditioning The specimens shall be introduced into the chamber either in the unpacked, switched-off, ready-for-use state, or as otherwise specified in the relevant specification. Where no specific mounting is p
38、rescribed, the thermal conduction of the mounting shall be low, so that for all practical purposes the specimen is thermally isolated. 7.1 Temperature tolerances The total temperature tolerance of 2 K and 3 K given in this standard is intended to take account of absolute errors in the measurement, s
39、low changes of temperature, and temperature variations of the working space. However, in order to maintain the relative humidity within the required tolerances, it is necessary to keep the temperature difference between any two points in the working space at any moment within narrower limits. The re
40、quired humidity conditions will not be achieved if such temperature differences exceed 1 K. It may also be necessary to keep short-term fluctuations within 0,5 K to maintain the required humidity. 7.2 Stabilizing period The temperature of the specimens shall be stabilized at 25 C 3 K (the definition
41、 of temperature stability is given in IEC 60068-1 and IEC 60068-5-2). This shall be achieved by either a) placing the specimens in a separate chamber before introducing it into the test chamber, or, b) adjusting the temperature of the test chamber to 25 C 3 K after the introduction of the specimens
42、and maintaining them at this level until the specimens attain temperature stability. During the stabilization of temperature by either method, the relative humidity shall be within the limits prescribed for standard atmospheric conditions for testing. Following stabilization, with the specimens in t
43、he test chamber, the relative humidity shall be increased to not less than 95 % RH at an ambient temperature of 25 C 3 K. 7.3 Description of the 24 h cycle 7.3.1 The temperature of the chamber shall be raised to the appropriate upper temperature prescribed by the relevant specification. The upper te
44、mperature shall be achieved in a period of 3 h 30 min and at a rate within the limits defined by the shaded areas in Figures 2a and 2b. During this period, the relative humidity shall not be less than 95 % RH. During the last 15 min it shall not be less than 90 % RH. 6Licensed Copy: Wang Bin, na, Tu
45、e May 09 07:40:05 BST 2006, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSI 7 EN 60068-2-30:2005 Condensation may occur on the specimen during this temperature-rise period. NOTE The condensation condition implies that the surface temperature of the specimen is below the dew point of the air in the chamber. 7.3.2 The tem
46、perature shall then be maintained within the prescribed limits for the upper temperature (2 K) until 12 h 30 min from the start of the cycle. During this period, the relative humidity shall be 93 % RH 3 %RH. During the first and last 15 min it shall be between 90 % RH and 100 % RH. 7.3.3 The tempera
47、ture shall then be lowered in accordance with one of the two variants given below. Variant 1 (see Figure 2a) The temperature shall be lowered to 25 C 3 K within 3 h to 6 h. The rate of fall for the first one and one half hours shall be such that, if maintained as indicated in Figure 2a, it would res
48、ult in a temperature of 25 C 3 K being attained in 3 h 15 min. The relative humidity shall be not less than 95 % RH. During the first 15 min it shall be not less than 90 % RH. NOTE 1 See Annex A for descriptions of the type of specimen suitable for Variant 1. Variant 2 (see Figure 2b) The temperatur
49、e shall be lowered to 25 C 3 K within 3 h to 6 h, but without the additional requirement for the first hour and one half as in variant 1. The relative humidity shall be not less than 80 % RH. NOTE 2 See Annex A for descriptions of the type of specimen suitable for Variant 2. 7.3.4 The temperature shall then be maintained at 25 C 3 K with a relative humidity of not less than 95 % RH until the 24 h cycle is completed. 8 Intermediate measure
