BS EN 60695-10-3:2016 specifies a mould stress relief distortion test. It is applicable to
electrotechnical equipment including parts made from polymeric materials.This test method is intended to evaluate the effects caused by relief of the residual processinduced
stress, set in a moulded polymeric assembly of an end product. This stress relief
occurs when the sample (energized or not), is exposed to conditioning at a defined
temperature for a defined period of time. The test specimen is considered to have
satisfactorily withstood the test if, after conditioning to room temperature, it meets defined test
criteria.This basic safety publication is primarily intended for use by technical committees in the
preparation of standards in accordance with the principles laid down in IEC Guide 104 and
ISO/IEC Guide 51. It is not intended for use by manufacturers or certification bodies.One of the responsibilities of a technical committee is, wherever applicable, to make use of
basic safety publications in the preparation of its publications. The requirements, test methods
or test conditions of this basic safety publication will not apply unless specifically referred to
or included in the relevant publications.Cross References:IEC 60050IEC 60216-4-1IEC 60695-4:2012IEC Guide 104ISO/IEC Guide 51ISO 13943:2008EN 60216-4-1EN 60695-4:2012EN ISO 13943IEC 60695-1-10IEC 60695-1-11IEC 60050-151EN 60695-1-10EN 60695-1-11All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
