6、environmental data relative to these conditions. 2 Definition and object of a “storage test“ A “storage test“ is intended to simulate the effects of one or more environmental stresses acting on products during their normal storage life, and when the assumption of fatigue accumulation is likely, to e

7、stablish whether: a) storage prevents the use of the product in its intended application, for example the solderability characteristics of component leads or printed circuit boards are worsened, the drift of electrical parameters is excessive, open circuits or short circuits are caused, or b) signif

8、icant performance and/or reliability degradation occurs for products operated after storage, or c) for emergency equipment, the ability of products to function correctly and reliably is not impaired after prolonged non-operation. NOTE - For the reliability determination of relatively new products or

9、 those stored for long periods, and for the determination of functioning reliability after storage, reference should be made to the IEC standards dealing with reliability and maintainability. 3 Examples of degradation mechanisms and of failure types under storage conditions The following are typical

10、 examples of failure mechanisms and failure types occurring as a result of storage: 3.1 Component leads and printed circuit board solderability can be degraded due to oxidation or diffusion processes between base material and overplating. These processes are accelerated by heat, resulting in the for

11、mation of surfaces with greatly reduced solderability. Humid corrosion phenomena, perhaps accelerated by polluting substances in the atmosphere, may also be active. O BSI 03-2000 Page 4 3.2 Other examples of failure mechanisms due to humidity changes are: EN 6068-2-48:1999 3.2.1 Prolonged action of

12、very low humidity, even at relatively low temperatures, can produce a considerable drying of plastics; electrical and mechanical properties of these materials can be degraded with consequent damage or failure during operation after storage. 3.2.2 A high humidity during storage can be more dangerous

13、than it will be during operation, due to the absence of any self-heating effect. Prolonged storage at relative humidity levels lower than 80 % can also adversely influence functional characteristics and reliability of the stored products. 3.2.3 The internal humidity of imperfectly sealed containers

14、can progressively increase when stored under conditions of high relative humidity with high repetitive peak values, or cyc!iy tempratiiv on ?i mndorsitely hlqh re!?!ve !?vmld!y.

15、decrease. 3.2.4 Products stored under conditions of high relative humidity and temperature can be affected by mould growth, especially if organic materials are present. These conditions also accelerate the effects of chemical action such as salt mist and industrial gases. 3.3 Other examples of failu

16、re mechanisms are: 3.3.1 Prolonged exposure in a high temperature environment can cause the drying of electrolytic capacitors and of batteries; loss of rigidity in thermoplastics; softening and creeping of protective compounds and of impregnating waxes. Generally, the ageing of materials is accelera

17、ted under these conditions. 3.3.2 Prolonged exposure in a low temperature environment can produce brittleness, cracking and breaking not only of rubber and plastics but also of metallic parts. Some seals can be degraded by shrinking or cracking. 3.4 Blocking (seizing) of mechanical parts due to high

18、 temperature oxidation or to humid corrosion. 3.5 The functional parameters of products may drift beyond specified limits. Open circuits or short circuits may occur. 4 Choice of the applicable test It is obviously not possible to define a single storage test as different parameters produce different

19、 stresses which may result in different types of deterioration or modes of failure. The standard tests described in IEC 60068 may be conveniently used for the simulation of specific storage conditions. Usually storage tests are based upon Tests A: Cold; B: Dry heat; and Ca: Damp heat, steady state.

20、The test duration is generally long, possibly up to several months (the maximum period for Test Ca is given as two months). Other tests can be more significant for some cases (e.g. salt mist, industrial atmosphere) and they should be considered during the preparation of a detailed storage specificat

21、ion. O BSI 03-2000 STDaBSI BS EN bOOb8-2-48-ENGL 2000 = lb24bb9 0829147 lb7 Page 5 It is recognized that standard tests are not intended to simulate actual conditions and it may be necessary to perform special tests in some circumstances. However, technical and economic considerations suggest that s

22、tandard tests should be used wherever possible. EN 60068-2-48:1999 In the choice of the applicable test, the writer of the relevant specification should take into consideration: a) the required object: see clause 2; b) the degradation mechanism and failure modes to be expected: these may be known fr

23、om previous experience or from an analysis of the characteristics of the product and of the storage conditions, related to the interactions between environment and materials: see clause 3; c) the significant environmental stresses involved and whether they can be considered as acting individually, i

24、n combination or in sequence; d) the possibility of accelerating the degradation mechanisms, without substantially altering the failure modes or introducing new ones. 4.1 Reference should be made to the Guidance documents applicable to the test methods of IEC 60068. Some considerations are given her

25、e regarding special criteria to be followed in the choice of test severities, taking account of the object of a storage test. 4.2 A test acceleration, useful in order to reduce the test duration, cannot always be obtained with a stress increase because important changes of the degradation mechanisms

26、 can arise, giving results which have no practical usefulness. Such a consideration applies for example to: a) humid corrosion phenomena, with or without the action of atmospheric pollutants: increasing the relative humidity results in corrosion products which morphologically are totally different f

27、rom those formed in natural conditions; b) consequences of water vapour absorption by insulating materials, especially those related to the irreversible effects due to structural changes: humidity conditions less stringent than those specified in Test Ca of IEC 60068-2-3 with lower temperature and/o

28、r lower relative humidity may be appropriate, particularly when analysing the effects on poorly protected products; c) slow deformation phenomena in some materials, so important for the parameter drift in electronic components: under natural conditions, such phenomena are often very different from t

29、hose produced by rapid changes of temperatures over an extended range. 4.3 In some cases, the storage test may last a long time. The usefulness of the test is then due not to the reduction in time needed to obtain results, but to the fact that the phenomena occur under controlled and reproducible co

30、nditions. Generally, for these tests with limited stress acting for a long time, greater changes of test conditions can be tolerated than for highly accelerated tests. Test equipment control and regulation is therefore simplified. 4.4 In other cases, the test can be accelerated by an increase of the

31、 stress without substantially changing the deterioration mechanisms, for example: a) a test temperature increase can accelerate the drying, for example, of electrolytic capacitors and of batteries and in general all the ageing processes of materials exposed to dry heat; b) brittleness, cracking and

32、breaking of rubber, plastics and also some metallic parts, caused by low temperatures, can be accelerated by exposure to temperatures suitably lower than those of the actual storage conditions. 0 BSI 03-2000 Page 6 5 Test procedure details EN 868-2-48:1YYY Storage tests as such do not require more a

33、ttention than tests applied for other purposes (determination of characteristics, qualification, etc.). The normal precautions taken when carrying out tests, especially those related to the control of test equipment and associated instrumentation, are applicable to storage tests. Special care should

34、 be taken in the measurement of functional parameters particularly during and after very long duration tests. Recovery conditions following the test will often be important. For instance, dehydrated materials may start to absorb moisture, or materials which have absorbed or adsorbed moisture may sta

35、rt to dry out. In such cases the recovery conditions should be clearly defined and closely controlled, :ufv:u:c2 keir!:n, !z:udc tv fhc tzsts i: !EC vccvv-2.
