30、parameters and their severities towhich products are subjected when mounted forstationary use at locations which are non-weatherprotected, including periods of erection work, downtime, maintenance and repair. Locations which are non-weatherprotected, where products may be mounted for stationary use

31、permanently or temporarily, include land-based and offshore locations. Use in and on vehicles is excepted. The environmental conditions specified in this standard are limited to those which may directly affect the performance of products. Only environmental conditions as such are considered. No spec

32、ial description of the effects of these conditions on the products is given. Environmental conditions directly related to fire or explosion hazards and conditions related to ionizing radiation are excluded. Any other unforeseen incidents are also excluded. The possibility of their occurrence should

33、be taken into account in special cases. Microclimate within a product is not included. Conditions of stationary use at weatherprotected locations, portable and non-stationary use, use in vehicles and ships, and conditions of storage and transportation are given in other sections of IEC721-3. A limit

34、ed number of classes of environmental conditions is given, covering a broad field of application. The user of this standard should select the lowest classification necessary for covering the conditions of the intended use. Some guidance for this is given inAnnex A. 2 Normative references The followi

35、ng normative documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this section of IEC721-3. At the time of publication, the editions indicated were valid. All normative documents are subject to revision, and parties to agreements based on this section of IEC72

36、1-3 are encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the most recent editions of the normative documents indicated below. Members of IEC and ISO maintain registers of currently valid International Standards. IEC 721-1:1990, Classification of environmental conditions Part 1: Environmental pa

38、n of groups of environmental parameters and their severities Section0: Introduction. Amendment1 (1987) 3 Definitions In addition to the definitions in clause3 of IEC 721-1, the following definitions apply to this standard: 3.1 stationary use the product is mounted firmly on the structure or on mount

39、ing devices, or it is permanently placed at a certain site. It is not intended for portable use, but short periods of handling during erection work, downtime, maintenance and repair at the location are included 3.2 location which is non-weatherprotected a location at which the product is not protect

40、ed from direct weather influences 4 General For further general guidance, see IEC721-3-0. During periods of erection work, which are often connected with downtime, the user should be aware that conditions might differ from those during operation. Therefore, the selection of another class may be nece

41、ssary for this period, unless special precautions have been taken. The severities specified are those which will have a low probability of being exceeded. All specified values are maximum or limit values. These values may be reached, but do not occur permanently. Depending on the local situation, th

42、ere may be different frequencies of occurrence related to a certain period of time. Such frequencies of occurrence have not yet been included in this standard, but should be considered for any environmental parameter. They should be specified additionally if applicable. Information on duration and f

43、requency of occurrence is included in IEC721-3-0 as clause6.EN60721-3-4:1995 4 BSI 04-2000 Attention is drawn to the fact that combinations of the environmental parameters given may increase the effect on a product. This applies especially to the presence of high relative humidity in addition to bio

44、logical conditions, or to conditions of chemically or mechanically active substances. The environmental conditions present at a location may be affected by other influences, for example heat dissipation sources, special process conditions,etc. Measurements of the environmental conditions present at

45、a location shall be made at a representative point in the vicinity of the product. It is recognized that extreme or special environmental conditions may exist. Specifications for products to operate under such special conditions are a matter for negotiation between supplier and user. 5 Classificatio

46、n of groups of environmental parameters and their severities A number of classes for climatic conditions (K), special climatic conditions (Z), biological conditions(B), chemically active substances (C), mechanically active substances (S) and mechanical conditions (M) are specified inTable 1 toTable

47、6. This classification allows a number of possible combinations of environmental conditions which bear upon products wherever used. It represents the real situation in respect of worldwide conditions of use, due to local influences of open-air climate, mounting, process conditions, etc. (Seealsoclau

48、se6.) A class indicated with higher digit conditions normally includes classes with lower digits. For certain parameters, it has not yet been possible to specify quantitative severities. For a given location or product, reference should be made to the total set of classes, for example 4K2/4Z1/4Z4/4Z

49、6/4B1/4C2/4S2/4M4. Annex A explains the basis of the classes. It contains a summary of the conditions covered by a class and gives a survey of conditions affecting the choice of environmental parameters and their severities. Annex B contains a climatogram showing the interdependence of air temperature, relative humidity and absolute humidity. Annex C gives examples for practical application of this classification. 5.1 Climatic conditions The climatic conditions specified for classes4K1 to4K4 refer to the groups
