Provides a uniform and reproducible method of confirming that temperature test chambers, without load, conform to the requirements specified in climatic test procedures of IEC 60068-2 and other standards.

This part of IEC 60068 provides a uniform and reproducible method of confirming that temperature test chambers, without load, conform to the requirements specified in climatic test procedures of IEC 60068-2 and other standards. This standard is intended for users when conducting regular chamber performance monitoring.
