    Defines a set of basic environmental requirements and tests, as well as safety aspects for outdoor enclosures under conditions of non-weatherprotected locations above ground.

    Scope - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    This part of IEC 61969 specifies a set of basic environmental requirements and tests, as well as safety aspects for outdoor enclosures under conditions of non-weatherprotected locations above ground.

    The purpose of this standard is to define a minimum level of environmental performance in order to meet requirements of storage, transport and final installation. It is the intention to establish basic environmental performance criteria for outdoor enclosure compliance.
