LATEST, NEW & UPDATED STANDARDS IN THE FIELD OF ENVIRONMENTAL TESTING Written and compiled by Consultant David Richards Hon.FSEE, CEng, CEnv


This report includes a number of documentswhich are “new” in that they do not supersede or amend existing British standards. Some of these relate to sustainability issues such as soil and air quality aswell as sustainability products. Although the latter relatemostly towind turbines and photovoltaic devices, the principles of some of thesemay have broader relevance as they relate to weathering and protracted exposure to climatic conditions at fixed locations. There are also a number of newdocumentswhich relate tomore traditional environmental engineering issues including vibration,

acoustics, EMC and the operation of cleanrooms aswell as guidelines on the setting up of tests to acquire aging data and undertakingmaterial tests.


PD IEC/TR 62131-6 Environmental conditions – vibration and shock of electrotechnical equipment. Transportation by propeller aircraft.


This provides information on themechanical environments that electrotechnical equipmentmay experience during transportation and handling. Previously published documents in this series encompass the vibration and shock conditions arising during transport by


road, rail, jet aircraft as well as storage and handling. The original purpose of this series was to provide a documented base fromwhich themechanical environmental severities of BS EN 60721-3 and the test severities, included within themechanical test procedures of BS EN 60068-2, could be updated. Nonetheless, the series of documents also provides users with useful information on the potential severities of the various transportation and handling environments. The documents also provide guidance on the cause, source and variability of the different environmental conditions.
