Standard Details

IEC 60068-2-78:2025 establishes a test method for determining the ability of components or equipment to withstand transportation, storage and use under conditions of high humidity. The object of this document is to investigate the effect of high humidity at constant temperature without condensation on a specimen over a specified period. It is applicable to small equipment or components as well as large equipment and can be applied to both heat-dissipating and non-heat-dissipating specimens. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2012. 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) revision of the severities and including the dew point temperatures;
c) change of the temperature tolerances of the test to limits;
d) inclusion of a specified preconditioning procedure;
e) inclusion of a new figure for clarification purposes;
f) revision of standardized requirements for the test report.
