Guidance on the selection amongst the shock test methods included within the IEC 60068 -2 series.
The IEC 60068-2 series contains eight different documents directly related to shock testing of electrotechnical equipment plus one vibration test which could be used for that purpose. Some of these test methods are quite old but some are relatively new recent. The more recent test methods permit the use of new test facilities with the consequential potential for reduced cost and provide for more accurate testing. Moreover, some of the older tests utilise facilities that are no longer commonly available. Additionally some of the various test methods overlap in scope, purpose and methodology, the subtleties of which can be difficult for non-specialist to appreciate, with the potential to cause confusion amongst test specifiers with the potential for undertaking an inappropriate test. This proposed document is intended to provide guidance to test specifiers on the selection amongst the available test methods for specific applications. The guidance reflects guidance already provided for the selection amongst vibration tests (60068-3-8).
