scope:
This part of IEC 60216 specifies the calculation procedures used for deriving thermal endurance characteristics from experimental data obtained in accordance with the instructions of IEC 60216-1 and IEC 60216-2 [1]1, using fixed ageing temperatures and variable ageing times.
The experimental data can be obtained using non-destructive, destructive or proof tests. Data obtained from non-destructive or proof tests can be incomplete, in that it is possible that measurement of times taken to reach the end-point will have been terminated at some point after the median time but before all specimens have reached end-point.
The procedures are illustrated by worked examples, and suitable computer programs are recommended to facilitate the calculations.
