IEC 60068-2-53:2010提供了在综合气候和动态条件下测试设备或部件的测试方法和指南的描述。组合测试的目的是调查设备或部件在多大程度上受到气候和动态测试的影响。第二版取消并取代了1983年出版的第一版IEC 60068-2-50， 1983年出版的IEC 60068-2-51第一版和1984年出版的60068-2-53第一版构成技术修订。与上述所有三个标准的前几个版本相比，主要变化是更新和分组测试。以这种方式，它允许使用不同种类的振动激励的可能性: -正弦、随机或混合模式； -或冲击，对气候条件进行不同的测试； -寒冷、干热、温度变化或恒定和循环湿热。

IEC 60068-2-53:2010 provides a description of test methods and guidance for testing equipment or components under combined climatic and dynamic conditions. The purpose of combined testing is to investigate to what extent the equipment or components are affected by combined climatic and dynamic tests. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition of IEC 60068-2-50, published in 1983, the first edition of IEC 60068-2-51, published in 1983 and the first edition of 60068-2-53, published in 1984 and constitutes a technical revision. The main changes with respect to the previous editions of all three standards cited above is to update and group tests. In this way it allows for the possibility to use different kinds of vibration excitation:
- sine, random or mixed mode;
- or shocks, with different tests for climatic conditions;
- cold, dry heat, change of temperature or constant and cyclic damp heat.
