Environmental testing - Part 2-30: Tests - Test Db: Damp heat, cyclic (12 h + 12 h cycle)

Scope

IEC 60068-2-30:2025 specifies a test procedure to determine the suitability of components, equipment, or other articles for use, transportation, and storage under conditions of high humidity combined with cyclic temperature changes and, in general, producing condensation on the surface of the specimen. This test method can also be used to validate the packaging of specimen for transportation and storage.

This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition published in 2005. This edition constitutes a technical revision.

This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:

a) revision of the requirements for the test chamber;

b) change of the temperature tolerances of the test to limits;

c) updating of the figures for clarification purposes;

d) revision of the limits of the temperature and relative humidity during conditioning;

e) revision of the intermediate measurements;

f) revision of standardized requirements for the test report.
