IEC 60068-2-27 Shock Testing Laboratory Testing Service: A Comprehensive Guide

Introduction

As a leading laboratory testing service provider, Eurolab offers comprehensive IEC 60068-2-27 Shock Testing services to help businesses ensure the reliability and safety of their products. In this article, we will delve into the world of shock testing, exploring its importance, requirements, test conditions, methodology, reporting, and benefits.

The IEC 60068-2-27 standard specifies the procedures for testing the resistance of enclosures to impacts. This standard is part of the IEC 60068 series, which covers environmental testing of electronic equipment. The standard is widely accepted and adopted by various industries, including electronics, automotive, aerospace, and medical devices.

Legal and Regulatory Framework

The legal and regulatory framework surrounding shock testing is primarily governed by national and international standards, such as:

  • ISO/IEC 17025:2017 (General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories)
  • IEC 60068-2-27:2008 (Environmental testing Part 2-27: Test Cf: Impact
  • EN 60068-2-27:1999 (VDE 0884, part 1) (Environmental testing Part 2-27: Test Cf: Impact)
  • TSE 1003:2016 (Turkish Standard for Environmental Testing)
  • Standard Development Organizations and Their Role

    The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is responsible for the development and maintenance of international standards. The IEC works in partnership with national electrotechnical committees, such as the British Standards Institution (BSI), Deutsches Institut für Normung (DIN), and Association Française de Normalisation (AFNOR).

    Evolution of Standards
