Environmental Testing IEC 60068-2-2 : 2007

IEC 60068-2-2:2007 is the definitive international standard for assessing the resilience of electrotechnical products against high-temperature, low-humidity environments (“Dry Heat”). This test simulates extreme thermal stress to verify structural integrity and operational stability during storage, transportation, and usage.

  • Specimen Classification: Distinct testing methods (Tests Bb, Bd, Be) are applied based on whether the product is heat-dissipating (active) or non-heat-dissipating (passive).
  • Failure Analysis: Detects potential issues such as material warping, seal degradation, and electronic drift under thermal load.
  • Operational Integrity: Ensures devices maintain performance functionality without thermal runaway in harsh climates.

Reference Standards & Equivalence

  • Primary Standard: IEC 60068-2-2:2007 (Environmental testing – Part 2-2: Tests – Test B: Dry heat).
  • Indian Standard Equivalent: IS 9000 (Part 3) / IS/IEC 60068-2-2.
  • European Standard: EN 60068-2-2.
  • Related Standards: Often performed in conjunction with IEC 60068-2-1 (Cold Test) and IEC 60068-2-14 (Change of Temperature).

Target Product Domains

This standard is applicable to a wide spectrum of equipment that may be exposed to elevated temperatures:

  • Consumer Electronics: Smartphones, Laptops, Tablets, and Wearables.
  • Power Electronics: Inverters, UPS Systems, SMPS, and Batteries.
  • Automotive Components: ECUs, Infotainment Systems, and Dashboard Sensors.
  • Industrial Equipment: Control Panels, Switchgear, and Relays.
  • Telecommunications: Routers, Switches, and Base Station Equipment.

Testing Scope & Technical Parameters

Our testing facility is equipped to handle the full range of severities defined in the standard:

  • Temperature Range: Ambient to +100°C (with capabilities up to +200°C for specialized components).
  • Duration: Standard exposure durations including 2 hours, 16 hours, 72 hours, and 96 hours.

Test Methods:

  • Test Bb: Gradual temperature change for non-heat-dissipating specimens.
  • Test Bd: Dry heat for heat-dissipating specimens (powered off during stabilization).
  • Test Be: Dry heat for heat-dissipating specimens (powered on throughout).

Laboratory Accreditation

  • ISO/IEC 17025 Accredited: Our reports are generated by an NABL-accredited laboratory, ensuring global acceptance.
  • ILAC MRA Signatory: Valid for international compliance and export requirements.

Estimated Turnaround Time (TAT)

  • Standard Processing: 3 to 5 working days (subject to the specific duration required by the product standard).
  • Expedited Services: 24-48 hour slots available for urgent compliance needs (dependent on test cycle duration).

Sample Submission Requisites

  • Quantity: 1 to 2 functional units (one for testing, one as a control sample is recommended).
  • Accessories: All necessary power adapters, cables, and connectors required to power the device (if performing Test Be).

Commercials & Pricing

Pricing is dependent on the size of the product (chamber volume required), the duration of the test cycle, and whether functional monitoring is required during the test.
