TESTS AND REQUIREMENTS
All executed tests are carried out in accordance with the 
following specifications:
EN 60115-1, generic specification
EN 60115-8 (successor of EN 140400), sectional 
specification
EN 140401-802, detail specification
IEC 60068-2-xx, test methods
The parameters stated in the Test Procedures and 
Requirements table are based on the required tests and 
permitted limits of EN 140401-802. The table presents only 
the most important tests, for the full test schedule refer to 
the documents listed above. However, some additional 
tests and a number of improvements against those 
minimum requirements have been included.
The testing also covers most of the requirements specified 
by EIA/IS-703 and JIS-C-5201-1.
The tests are carried out under standard atmospheric 
conditions in accordance with IEC 60068-1, 4.3, whereupon 
the following values are applied:
Temperature: 15 °C to 35 °C
Relative humidity: 25 % to 75 %
Air pressure: 86 kPa to 106 kPa (860 mbar to 1060 mbar).
A climatic category LCT / UCT / 56 is applied, defined by the 
lower category temperature (LCT), the upper category 
temperature (UCT), and the duration of exposure in the 
damp heat, steady state test (56 days). The components are 
mounted for testing on boards in accordance with EN 
60115-8, 2.4.2 unless otherwise specified.
