IEC 62059-31-1:20 08提供了通过加速可靠性测试估计产品寿命特性的几种可能方法之一。在该标准中，应用升高的、恒定的温度和湿度来实现加速。该方法考虑了电压和电流变化的影响。适用于IEC TC 13范围内用于能量计量、资费和负荷控制的各类计量设备。本标准中给出的方法可用于在批量生产之前和期间估计（给定置信限）此类设备的产品寿命特性。该方法也可用于比较不同的设计。2008年12月更正的内容已列入本副本。 该出版物与智能电网高度相关。

IEC 62059-31-1:2008 provides one of several possible methods for estimating product life characteristics by accelerated reliability testing. In this standard, elevated, constant temperature and humidity is applied to achieve acceleration. The method takes into account the effect of voltage and current variation. It is applicable to all types of metering equipment for energy measurement, tariff and load control in the scope of IEC TC 13. The method given in this standard may be used for estimating (with given confidence limits) product life characteristics of such equipment prior to and during serial production. This method may also be used to compare different designs. The contents of the corrigendum of December 2008 have been included in this copy.
