26、2-7:2018 IEC 2018 3 INTERNATIONAL ELECTROTECHNICAL COMMISSION _ CLASSIFICATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS Part 2-7: Environmental conditions appearing in nature Fauna and flora FOREWORD 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
27、 all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards,
28、 Technical Specifications, Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparator
29、y work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organization
30、s. 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all interested IEC National Committees. 3) IEC Publications have the form of reco
31、mmendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any misinterpretation by a
32、ny end user. 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional pu
33、blication shall be clearly indicated in the latter. 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any services carried out by inde
34、pendent certification bodies. 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication. 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any
35、 personal injury, property damage or other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications. 8) Attention is drawn to the Normativ
36、e references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is indispensable for the correct application of this publication. 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsib
37、le for identifying any or all such patent rights. International Standard IEC 60721-2-7 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 104: Environmental conditions, classification and methods of test. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1987. This edition constitute
38、s a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) This edition has been entirely rewritten. BS EN IEC 6072127:2018 4 IEC 60721-2-7:2018 IEC 2018 The text of this International Standard is based on the following document
39、s: CDV Report on voting 104/741/CDV 104/792/RVC Full information on the voting for the approval of this International Standard can be found in the report on voting indicated in the above table. This document has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. A list of all parts in t
40、he IEC 60721 series, published under the general title Classification of environmental conditions, can be found on the IEC website. The committee has decided that the contents of this document will remain unchanged until the stability date indicated on the IEC website under “http:/webstore.iec.ch“ i
41、n the data related to the specific document. At this date, the document will be reconfirmed, withdrawn, replaced by a revised edition, or amended. A bilingual version of this publication may be issued at a later date. BS EN IEC 6072127:2018IEC 60721-2-7:2018 IEC 2018 5 CLASSIFICATION OF ENVIRONMENTA
42、L CONDITIONS Part 2-7: Environmental conditions appearing in nature Fauna and flora 1 Scope This document addresses the occurrence of fauna and flora, including its main effects on electrotechnical products. Exposure and damage from the effects of fauna and flora can occur at almost any time in a pr
43、oducts life cycle. Moreover, there are many agents of attack with various actions. This document addresses the occurrence and damage arising from fauna and flora in all locations a product can be stored, transported or used. Generally, fauna can be present and cause damage to products in both the na
44、tural environments experienced in open-air locations as well as in artificially created environments, such as in a warehouse or building. However, flora will predominantly be present and cause damage to products only in open-air locations. Fungus and bacteria can be present in both open-air location
45、s as well as in warehouses or buildings. 2 Normative references There are no normative references in this document. 3 Terms and definitions No terms and definitions are listed in this document. ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses: IEC E
46、lectropedia: available at http:/www.electropedia.org/ ISO Online browsing platform: available at http:/www.iso.org/obp 4 General The main attacking agents considered in this document are micro-organisms including fungi, bacteria, as well as insects, rodents, algae and marine organisms. Hazards due t
47、o other agents are considered to be of lesser importance and have been omitted. These include the corrosive action of juices secreted by some plants, the mechanical action due to the growth of the larger trees, which may be sufficiently great to destroy the foundations of a building or to break cabl
48、es, and the damage caused by animals such as monkeys and elephants. Birds in flight can be a hazard to aircraft, and in the region of bird colonies, widespread droppings can create corrosion problems. In addition, some agents which are mentioned have other modes of action which have not been include
49、d; for example both rodents and insects are occasionally responsible for chemical corrosion or soiling. The frequency of occurrence of fauna and flora with a possibility of damaging products very much depends on conditions of temperature and humidity. In geographical areas with warm damp climates, fauna and flora, especially insects and micro-organisms such as mould and bacteria, will find favourable conditions of life. Moreover, humid or wet rooms in buildings, or rooms for proces
