13、product between different locat ions. The environmental conditions classified do not take into account the use profile of the product, .e. whether the product is used only during a temporary stationary state, during the state of transfer or arbitrarily. The conditions of portable and non-stationary
14、use to which products may be exposed include land-based and offshore, weatherprotected and non-weatherprotected locations. The conditions further include transfer which is a part of the portable and non-stationary use. The environmental conditions specified in this standard are limited to those whic
15、h may directly affect the performance of products. Only environmental conditions as such are considered. No special description of the effects of these conditions on the product is given. Environmental conditions directly related to fire or explosion hazards and conditions related to ionizing radiat
16、ion are excluded. Any other unforeseen incidents are also excluded. The possibility of their occurence should be taken into account in special cases. Microclimate within a product is not included. Conditions of stationary use, use in vehicles, and ships, and conditions of storage and transportation
17、are given in other sections of IEC 721-3. A limited number of classes of environmental conditions is given, covering a broad field of application. The user of this standard should select the lowest classification necessary for covering the conditions of the intended use. STD-BSI BS EN b0721-3-7-ENGL

24、f IEC 721-1, the following definitions apply to this standard: 3.1 portable and non-stationary use: The product is frequently moved from place to place. During transfer there is no special packaging for the product. The total transfer time may amount to a significant portion of the products lifetime
25、. The product is not permanently mounted on any structure or placed at a fixed site. The product may be operated while being either in a stationary or in a transfer state. 3.2 weatherprotected location: A location at which the product is protected from weather influences: - totally weatherprotected
26、location (enclosed location): direct weather influences are totally excluded; - partially weatherprotected location (sheltered location): direct weather influences are not completely excluded. STD.BSI BS EN b072L-3-7-ENGL L99b Lb24bb9 0bZLiLOb 2T Page 6 EN 60721-3-7 : 1995 3.3 non-weatherprotected l
27、ocatlon: A location at which the product is not protected from direct weather influences. 4 General For further general guidance, see IEC 721-3-0. Products in portable and non-stationary use are sometimes transferred from one location to another without being switched on. During this transfer the en
28、vironmental conditions bearing on the product may affect the product in a different way than during operation. If environmental conditions during operation are considered separately from those during transfer, another class, e.g. a lower one, may be selected for this part of the use. The severities
29、specified are those which will have a low probability of being exceeded. All specified values are maximum or limit values. These values may be reached, but do not occur permanently. Depending on the local situation there may be different fre- quencies of occurrence related to a certain period of tim
30、e. Such frequencies of occurrence should be considered for any environmental parameter. They should additionally be specified if applicable. Information on duration and frequency of occurence is given in IEC 721-3-0 as clause 6. Attention is drawn to the fact that combinations of the environmental p
31、arameters given may increase the effect on a product. This applies especially to the presence of high relative humidity in addition to biological conditions, or to conditions of chemically or mechanically active substances. The environmental conditions present at a location may be affected by other
32、influences, e.g. heat dissipation sources, special process conditions, etc. Measurements of the environmental conditions present at a location should be made at a representative point in the vicinity of the product. It is recognized that extreme or special environmental conditions may exist. Specifi
33、cations for products to operate under such special conditions are a matter of negotiation between supplier and user. 5 Classlflcatlon of groups of environmental parameters and thelr severities A number of classes for climatic conditions (K), special climatic conditions (Z), biological conditions (e)
34、, chemically active substances (C), mechanically active substances (S) and mechanical conditions (M) are specified in tables 1 to 6. This classification allows a number of possible combinations of environmental conditions, which bear upon products wherever used. It represents the real situation in r
35、espect of worldwide conditions of use, due to local influences of open-air climate, construction of buildings, mounting, process conditions, etc. (See also clause 6.)

36、cludes all classes with lower severity digits. For certain parameters it has not yet been possible to specify quantitative severities. For a given use or product, reference should be made to the total set of classes, e.g. ex A explains the basis of the classes. It contains a summary of the condition
37、s .;vered by each class and gives a survey of conditions affecting the choice of environ- mental parameters and their severities. Annex B contains a climatogram showing the interdependence of air temperature, relative humidity and absolute humidity. Annex C gives three examples for practical applica
38、tion of this classification. 5.1 Climatic conditions The climatic conditions specified for classes 7K1 to 7K5 represent the conditions of portable and non-stationary use of products. They have been experienced worldwide over a long period of time taking into account all the parameters that can influ
39、ence them. e.g. external (open-air) climatic conditions, type of building construction. temperature/humidity controlling systems, means of transfer and internal conditions, ag. heat dissipation from other equipment, presence of humans, etc. The conditions should cover all normal cases, but not excep
