UNE-EN IEC 60721-3-3:2019

This section of IEC 60721-3 classifies groups of environmental parameters and their severities to which products are subjected when installed for stationary use at weather-protected locations.The environmental conditions specified in this standard are limited to those which may directly affect the performance of products. Only environmental conditions as such are considered. No special description of the effects of these conditions on the products is provided.Environmental conditions directly related to explosion hazards, microclimate within a product, fire extinction and ionizing radiation are excluded. Any other unforeseen incidents are also excluded. The possibility of their occurrence should be considered as special cases. This standard does not cover equipment covered by building standards, codes or regulations.Conditions of stationary use at non-weatherprotected locations, portable and non-stationary use, use in vehicles and ships, conditions of storage and transportation, and microclimates inside products are given in other sections of IEC 60721-3. 93A limited number of classes of environmental conditions is given, covering a broad field of application. The user of this standard should select the lowest classification necessary for covering the conditions of the intended use.
