Figure 9 shows a small extract of the various tests. The extract shows that the conditions in the
individual tests are to be regarded as considerably stricter than stated in the standards. For example,
the significantly higher temperatures or the loads that are up to 5 times greater during a corrosive gas
test (H
2
S concentration according to the norm: 10 ppm / H
2
S concentration in the test: 50 ppm). The
green fields show the differences to the less critical requirements according to the norm.
Single-pin qualification according to IEC 60532-5
