涉及适用于非散热和散热试样的冷试验。对于非散热试样，试验Ab和Ad基本上与之前的问题没有偏离。试验Ae主要用于要求在整个试验期间（包括调节期）运行的试验设备。 冷态试验的目的仅限于确定部件、设备或其他物品在低温下使用、运输或储存的能力。 本标准涵盖的冷态试验不能使试样在待评估的温度变化期间承受或运行。 在这种情况下，有必要使用IEC 60068-2-14。 冷态试验细分如下: -非散热试样的冷态试验 *随着温度的逐渐变化，Ab； -散热试样的冷态试验 *随着温度的逐渐变化， *随着温度的逐渐变化，试样在整个过程中都会产生声发射。 本标准中给出的程序通常适用于在试验程序执行期间达到温度稳定性的试样。 按照IEC 60068-3-5和IEC 60068规范建造和验证温度室- 3-7. 有关干热和冷试验的更多指南，请参见IEC 60068-3-1和IEC 60068-1中的一般指南。 第六版涉及适用于非散热和散热试样的冷试验。对于非散热试样，试验Ab和Ad基本上与之前的问题没有偏离。试验Ae主要用于要求在整个试验期间（包括调节期）运行的试验设备。 具有符合IEC指南104的基本安全出版物的状态。

Deals with cold tests applicable to both non heat-dissipating and heat-dissipating specimens. For non heat-dissipating specimens, Tests Ab and Ad do not deviate essentially from earlier issues. Test Ae has been added primarily for testing equipment that requires being operational throughout the test, including the conditioning periods. The object of the cold test is limited to the determination of the ability of components, equipment or other articles to be used, transported or stored at low temperature. Cold tests cover by this standard do not enable the ability of specimens to withstand or operate during the temperature variations to be assessed. In this case, it would be necessary to use IEC 60068-2-14. The cold tests are subdivided as follows: - Cold tests for non heat-dissipating specimens * with gradual change of temperature, Ab; - Cold test for heat-dissipating specimens * with gradual change of temperature, Ad, * with gradual change of temperature, specimen powered throughout, Ae. The procedures given in this standard are normally intended for specimens that achieve temperature stability during the performance of the test procedure. Temperature chamber(s) are constructed and verified in accordance with specifications IEC 60068-3-5 and IEC 60068-3-7. Further guidance for dry heat and cold tests can be found in IEC 60068-3-1 and general guidance in IEC 60068-1. This sixth edition deals with cold tests applicable both to non heat-dissipating and heat-dissipating specimens. For non heat-dissipating specimens, Tests Ab and Ad do not deviate essentially from earlier issues. Test Ae has been added primary for testing equipment that requires being operational throughout the test including the conditioning periods. Has the status of a basic safety publication in accordance with IEC Guide 104.
