IEC 60068-2-14 Change of Temperature Testing

IEC 60068-2-14 testing, also called the change of temperature test, is intended to determine the ability of components, equipment, and other items to withstand a change of temperature or a succession of changes of temperature. The IEC 60068-2-14 test is not intended to show effects that are due only to high or low temperatures. Testing to those conditions is specified in the following related standards:

• IEC 60068-2-1, Environmental testing – Part 2-1: Tests – Test A: Cold
• IEC 60068-2-2, Environmental testing – Part 2-2: Tests – Test B: Dry heat
• IEC 60068-2-17, Environmental testing – Part 2-17: Tests – Test Q: Sealing

• Values of high and low conditioning temperature between which the change is to be affected.
• The conditioning times for which the test specimen is kept at these temperatures.
• The rate of change between these temperatures.
• The number of cycles of conditioning.
• The amount of heat transferred into or from the specimen.
