Environmental testing - Part 2-87: Tests - UV-C exposure of materials and components to simulate ultraviolet germicidal Irradiation or other applications

Scope

IEC 60068-2-87:2024 describes exposures of materials and components to UV-C radiation during ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) treatments or other processes that require UV‑C exposure and test procedures to simulate those environments. Severities representing various frequencies and intensities of UV-C exposures are described. Test conditions are described and limited to devices that utilize low pressure mercury lamps which emit most of their radiation at a single spectral line at 254 nm.
