What is BS EN IEC 61969‑3 about?
BS EN IEC 61969‑3 is the third part of the multi-series European standard that specifies guidelines, test methods and requirements for mechanical structures for electrical and electronic equipment.
BS EN IEC 61969‑3 specifies a set of basic environmental requirements and tests, as well as safety aspects for outdoor enclosures under conditions of non-weather protected locations above ground.
Who is BS EN IEC 61969‑3 for?
BS EN IEC 61969‑3 on mechanical structures is relevant to:
electrical and electronic equipment is useful for:
- Manufacturer of electronic devices
- Electricians
- Electrical engineers
- Researchers and scientists
- Local regulatory board
Why should you use BS EN IEC 61969‑3?
Mechanical and electrical engineering encompasses the manufacture and repairing of a diverse range of electrical and electronic products, such as engines, electrical products, consumer electronics, computers, mobile phones and others.
BS EN IEC 61969‑3 helps you in detecting cracks, rusty parts and other deterioration parts which will not impact the mechanical structure. This will help in reducing the cracks and rusty parts which will result in sustaining the mechanical structures in different climatic conditions. This BS EN IEC 61969‑3 helps in designing a mechanical structure. This designed structure will protect electromagnetic interference and also protect earthing contact where no corrosion is permitted.
BS EN IEC 61969‑3 provides methods to withstand the handling, storing, transporting and protecting installed equipment from exposure to mechanical stress.
BS EN IEC 61969‑3 provides methods for protecting you and preventing you from hazardous electronic devices. As it helps in avoiding defects such as sharp edges, burrs in electronic devices. BS EN IEC 61969‑3 helps to consider Power emission, thermal management and noise limitations which result in protecting the environment.
