Emphasizes on failure mechanisms associated with interconnecting devices and passive components. It determines the dominant failure mechanism and the related test. It also gives a choice of relevant tests from all the IEC 61300 series tests for each known failure mechanism and failure effects related to certain failure modes.

Applies to failure mechanisms for interconnnecting devices and passive components. It introduces a choice of relevant tests from the IEC 61300 series tests for each known failure mechanism and failure effects. See IEC 62005-5 for the extension of severity for environmental categories.
