From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, March 11, 2005 7:17 AM To: Jim Eichner; [email protected] Subject: Re: IEC 60068-2-6 Jim, That sine vibration standard describes three different types of testing: sweep, predetermined fixed frequencies, or endurance at fixed frequencies identified by means of a resonance search. I have some past experience with the IEC 60068-2-6 requirements as defined in ABS and DNV marine standards, but I'm not familiar with EN 60945. That standard should define the type of sine test as well as parameters. If you're only interested in information for the purpose of quoting or understanding the magnitude of the test then perhaps I can help you on-line. But if you're going to perform the test then I suggest that you purchase the standard. You probably have your own favorites but I'm partial to British Standards Institute. Carl From: "Jim Eichner" <[email protected]> on 03/10/2005 08:37 PM To: "EMC-PSTC - Forum" <[email protected]> cc: (bcc: Carl Newton/XYCOM) Subject: IEC 60068-2-6 We are looking at IEC/EN 60945 for marine equipment, and it calls out a vibration test to IEC 60068-2-6. I'm reluctant to go buy the standard to get the one thing I need out of it, so I wonder if anyone out there can tell me what vibration profile is that is called out in that standard? Or is it full of various profiles for various situations and I should get out my wallet? Thanks, Jim Eichner, P.Eng.
