Comprehensive Guide to IEC 60068-2-29 Impact Testing Procedures Laboratory Testing Service Provided by Eurolab

IEC 60068-2-29 is an international standard that governs the impact testing procedures for evaluating the mechanical resistance of enclosures and other components to impacts from various types of objects. This standard is part of the IEC 60068 series, which covers environmental testing for electronic equipment.

The IEC 60068 series is widely recognized and adopted by countries worldwide, including Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas. The standards are developed by Technical Committee (TC) 61, which focuses on environmental testing for electrotechnical products.

In addition to IEC 60068-2-29, other relevant standards that apply to impact testing procedures include:

  • ISO 9022-3:2014 - Environmental conditions - Determination of temperature and humidity - Part 3: Test A: Impact

  • ASTM D790:2017 - Standard Test Methods for Flexural Properties of Unreinforced and Reinforced Plastics and Electrical Insulating Materials

    • National standards that apply to impact testing procedures include:

  • EN 60068-2-29 (IEC 60068-2-29): Environmental Testing - Part 2-29: Tests - Test Za and Guided Bump Impact

  • TSE IEC 60068-2-29:2017 - Electrical Equipment for Measurement, Control, and Laboratory Use - Part 2-29: Tests - Test Za and Guided Bump Impact

    • The standard development organizations involved in the creation of these standards include:

  • International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC)

  • International Organization for Standardization (ISO)

  • American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)

    • Standards evolve over time to reflect changing requirements, technologies, and environmental conditions. This is achieved through regular reviews, updates, and revisions. For example, IEC 60068-2-29 was revised in 2017 to include new test methods and procedures.

    IEC 60068-2-29 Impact Testing Procedures testing is required for various industries and sectors, including:

  • Electronics

  • Automotive

  • Aerospace

  • Medical devices

  • Consumer goods

    • The main reasons for conducting this test include:

  • Ensuring product safety and reliability

  • Verifying compliance with regulatory requirements

  • Evaluating mechanical resistance to impacts from various types of objects

  • Enhancing quality assurance and control processes

    • Consequences of not performing this test may include:

  • Reduced product lifespan and performance

  • Increased risk of product failure or injury

  • Non-compliance with regulatory requirements

  • Loss of customer confidence and trust

    • The industries that require IEC 60068-2-29 Impact Testing Procedures testing typically include those with products that are subject to physical impacts, such as falls or drops.

    IEC 60068-2-29 Impact Testing Procedures testing involves the following steps:

    1. Preparation of samples: Samples are prepared according to the standards requirements, including any necessary cleaning or surface treatment.

    2. Testing equipment: The testing equipment used includes a guided impact device and an impact hammer, which is designed to simulate various types of impacts.

    3. Testing environment: The test is conducted in a controlled environment with specified temperature and humidity conditions.

    4. Impact testing: The sample is subjected to a series of impacts using the guided impact device or impact hammer.

    5. Measurement and analysis: The results are measured and analyzed according to the standards requirements.

    The measurement and analysis methods used include:

  • Visual inspection

  • Dimensional measurements

  • Weight measurements

    • IEC 60068-2-29 Impact Testing Procedures testing requires that test results be documented and reported according to specific guidelines. The report format typically includes:

    1. Summary of the test: A brief summary of the test, including the purpose, scope, and results.

    2. Test conditions: A detailed description of the test conditions, including temperature, humidity, and impact parameters.

    3. Results: A presentation of the measured values, including any relevant plots or charts.

    4. Conclusion: An analysis of the results and a conclusion on whether the sample meets the required standards.

    The certification and accreditation aspects of IEC 60068-2-29 Impact Testing Procedures testing are critical to ensuring that the test is conducted according to recognized international standards. This includes:

    1. Accreditation: The laboratory must be accredited by a recognized accrediting body.

    2. Certification: The laboratory must provide certification of its accreditation and any relevant certifications or compliance requirements.

    IEC 60068-2-29 Impact Testing Procedures testing is essential for ensuring product safety, reliability, and quality. This includes:

    1. Reducing the risk of product failure: By evaluating a products mechanical resistance to impacts, manufacturers can identify potential weaknesses and improve their designs.

    2. Enhancing customer confidence: By conducting regular impact testing, manufacturers can demonstrate their commitment to product safety and quality.

    3. Improving regulatory compliance: Impact testing helps ensure that products meet regulatory requirements, reducing the risk of non-compliance.
