No, 60529 is concerned only with degrees of protection provided by enclosures; i.e. Ingress Protection. 60068 is environmental test standards, and includes all sorts of environmental tests such as temperature (steady-state, shock, dry, damp, etc), humidity, vibration, shock, and so on. Both standards may be applied in assessing your product. Regards

En 60721 series is a great help in defining your environment. Ideally, start with the latter to define your environment, and then use the former to define your test regime. There are many cross references between the two.

Can anyone suggest any good reference documents etc on environmental testing of electrical equipment. The testing I am concerned with is primarily as part of the requirements of EN 61010-1:2001 but could also involve remedial work. If there is an IEEE group which covers this aspect then please let me know. Ian Gordon Sent by E2V TECHNOLOGIES PLC or a member of the E2V group of companies.
