Environmental conditions directly related to fire or explosions are not included.
Conditions of stationary use, portable and non-stationary use, use in vehicles and ships, and conditions of transportation are given in other subparts of the IEC 60721-3 series.
The object of this document is to classify environmental parameters and their severities to which a product can be exposed during storage. Transfer and handling during storage and transport are addressed in IEC 60721-3-2.
