General IEC 60068 Environmental Testing

IEC 60068 provides tests designed to assess the ability of specimens under expected  environmental conditions of storage, transportation and all aspects of operational uses. The purpose of IEC 60068 is to provide a series of reproducible methods of testing with standard atmospheric conditions. 

These standard environmental IEC test methods are primarily designed to provide information on two specific properties of test items:

1. The ability to operate within specified limits of temperature, pressure, humidity, mechanical stress and other environmental conditions. This includes combinations of these conditions.
2. The ability to withstand conditions of transportation and storage.

As a certified environmental lab, we realize the importance of IEC 60068 testing. Meeting the environmental IEC requirements can be difficult. We understand the challenges and guide companies through the process. Keystone takes pride in providing the peace of mind that all of your needs will be met.
