Thermal endurance test could be done using the below listed three cases depending upon the
ambient temp and the service temp.
Case #1 (When the maximum service temperature is less than or equal to 75°C)
The sample(s) will be subjected to a thermal endurance to heat to continuous storage
for four weeks in an environment of __________ (90 ± 5) % relative humidity and at a
temperature of ____________°C (20 ± 2K above the maximum service temperature,
but at least 80°C).
Case #2 For Category 3( zone 2) apparatus (When the maximum service temperature is
less than or equal to 75°C)
The sample(s) will be subjected to a thermal endurance to heat to continuous storage
for four weeks in an environment of __________ (90 ± 5) % relative humidity and at a
temperature of ____________°C (10 ±2K above the maximum service temperature,
but at least 80°C).
After subjecting the sample(s) to the selected case above, the sample(s) was subjected to the
following cold test.
The sample(s) will be subjected to a thermal endurance to cold test for 24 hrs in an
environment of __________°C (corresponding to the minimum service temperature
reduced by at least 5 K but at most 10 K).
Impact test:
The impact was created by dropping a 1 kg weight, concentrated at a 1 inch (25.4 mm)
diameter ball of hardened steel, from the height shown onto the surface indicated.
IP5X - The enclosure excluded the entry of dust in sufficient quantity to interfere with
satisfactory operation.
Unsatisfactory - The sample did not exclude the entry of dust in accordance with either
of the above evaluations.
