The AS 60068 Standards include a series of environmental testing procedures, information on the severity of tests, and information on atmospheric conditions for measurement and testing. Although primarily intended for electrotechnical products, many of the procedures are equally applicable to other industrial products.

This part of IEC 60068 is applicable to all electrical and electronic components whose terminations or integral mounting devices are liable to be submitted to stresses during normal assembly or handling operations.Table 1 provides details of the applicable tests.
