CENELEC - EN 61587-2

Mechanical structures for electronic equipment - Tests for IEC 60917 and IEC 60297 - Part 2: Seismic tests for cabinets and racks

active, Most Current
Organization: CENELEC
Publication Date: 1 October 2011
Status: active
Page Count: 18
ICS Code (Mechanical structures for electronic equipment): 31.240
scope:

This part of IEC 61587 specifies seismic tests for cabinets and racks accommodated with IEC 60917 and 60297 series. It applies, in whole or in part, only to the mechanical structures of cabinets and racks for electronic equipment according to the above cited series of standards, while it does not apply to the electronic equipment or systems deemed to be installed within these mechanical structures. This standard does not apply either to a cabinet or a rack having an anti-seismic isolation structure, either external or internal.

This standard aims to provide test conditions and criteria that constitute a reference to evaluate the ability of the mechanical structure of the cabinets or racks to acceptably withstand specified seismic intensities. For this purpose, this standard specifies test specimen conditions, such as dimensions (i.e. height, width and depth) of the cabinet and the rack, load distribution, structural test condition and the RRS (required response spectra) of singleaxis or tri-axis acceleration as the seismic test wave condition. The single-axis or tri-axis acceleration is selectable.
