Technical Information
Tests and Testing Procedures per IEC/EN Standards (continued)
The following tests show how product reacts when exposed aggressive environment. After less than half an
hour, the test specimen fully saturated by
the condensing vapors and exposed this
atmosphere for eight hours.

Depending the test severity, the specimen
is exposed both these conditions several
times.
After exposure humid atmosphere, the
test specimen subjected dry and cooler
conditions room temperature for hours. The test procedure usually consists of
192 temperature cycles, for example, each cycle having duration minutes (see diagram).
This test shows the change voltage drop over longer periods under temperature cycling conditions. After the test, inspection must show changes that would
impair further use the product. The voltage drop measured the end the 192nd
cycle must not exceed 1. The gas-tightness the clamping unit

In other test procedures, products are

or chloride gas. Climatic chambers simulate standard atmo-
spheres that could impact the long-term consistency clamping units. These tests can per-

Environmental Tests
All WAGO products meet the requirements the following environmental tests:
• Temperature Cycling Test per IEC/EN 60947-7-1, IEC/EN 60998-2-2
• Industrial Atmospheres per ISO 6988, IEC/EN 60068-2-42, IEC/EN 60068-2-60
