Abstract

Provides a standard test procedure to determine the
suitability of non heat-dissipating components,
equipment or other articles for use and/or storage
under conditions of high temperature and for which
the subjection to a sudden change of temperature has
no detrimental effect.

RECONFIRMATION NOTICE
Major stakeholders of this publication have reviewed the content of this publication and in accordance with Standards Australia procedures for reconfirmation, it has been determined that the publication is still valid and does not require change.
Certain documents referenced in the publication may have been amended since the original date of publication. Users are advised to ensure that they are using the latest versions of such documents as appropriate, unless advised otherwise in this Reconfirmation Notice.

Scope

To provide a standard test procedure to determine the suitability of non heat-dissipating components, equipment or other articles for use and/or storage under conditions of high temperature and for which the subjection to a sudden change of temperature has no detrimental effect.
This procedure is for specimens which are subjected to an elevated temperature for a time long enough for the specimen to achieve temperature stability.
In this procedure, the test duration is normally measured from the time when the specimen achieves temperature stability. For cases where this does not apply, see clause 1 of the introduction.
