What is BS EN 60068-2-78 - Damp-heat and steady-state environmental testing about?
BS EN 60068-2-78 is a European standard and a part of the BS EN 60068 that discusses the test cab for damp-heat and steady-state environmental testing. Environmental testing is the measurement of the performance of equipment under specified environmental conditions, such as extremely high and low temperatures.
BS EN 60068-2-78 establishes a test method for determining the ability of components or equipment to withstand transportation, storage and use under conditions of high humidity. The object of BS EN 60068-2-78 is to investigate the effect of high humidity at a constant temperature without condensation on a specimen over a prescribed period. It applies to small equipment or components as well as large equipment and can be applied to both heat-dissipating and non-heat-dissipating specimens.
Who is BS EN 60068-2-78 - Damp-heat and steady-state environmental testing for?
BS EN 60068-2-78 on damp-heat and steady-state environmental testing applies to:
- Electrical engineers
- Manufacturers of electrical and electronic equipment and components
- Laboratory testing personnel
- Quality testing personnel
- Manufacturers of laboratory equipment
Why should you use BS EN 60068-2-78 - Damp-heat and steady-state environmental testing?
BS EN 60068-2-78 provides you with a test method of high humidity at a constant temperature without condensation on the specimen over a prescribed period. This test is performed to evaluate the specimen as it is influenced by the absorption and diffusion of moisture and moisture vapour.
BS EN 60068-2-78 provides you with the testing procedures in which the specimen is introduced in the unpacked, switched-off, ready-for-use state, or as specified in the relevant specification. This helps you with environmental testing. With BS EN 60068-2-78 you can be ensured that the products consistently meet and exceed quality assurance targets.
