            conditions and on surface temperatures of
            test specimens

    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    IEC 60068-3-1:2011 provides guidance regarding the performance of cold and dry heat tests. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition, published in 1974, and constitutes a technical revision. The main changes with regard to the previous edition are as follows:
    - removal of guidance regarding thermal characteristics of chamber walls;
    - revision of sections that address environmental chambers that do not use movement of air for temperature control.
