Mechanical structures for electrical and electronic equipment - Tests for IEC 60917 and IEC 60297 series - Part 1: Environmental requirements, test setups and safety aspects
IEC 61587-1:2022 specifies environmental requirements, test set-ups, as well as safety aspects for empty enclosures, i.e. cabinets, racks, subracks, chassis, chassis integrated subracks and associated plug-in units under indoor condition use and transportation. It defines classifications (product performance levels) for these products, regarding and simulating the usually arising loads during their use. For mechanical static and dynamic load tests typical examples with dummy loads are used. The purpose of this document is to establish defined levels of physical performance in order to meet certain requirements of manufacture, storage, transport and final location conditions. This document applies in general only to the above cited mechanical structures. This fifth edition cancels and replaces the fourth edition published in 2016. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) Modification of title. b) Revision of Clauses 6, 7 and 8 including new defined test setups. c) Compatibility with IEC 61587-2, IEC 61587-3 and IEC 61587-5.

Structures mécaniques pour les équipements électriques et électroniques - Essais pour les séries IEC 60917 et IEC 60297 - Partie 1: Exigences environnementales, montages d'essai et aspects liés à la sécurité
IEC 61587-1:2022 spécifie les exigences environnementales, les montages d’essai, ainsi que les aspects liés à la sécurité des enveloppes vides, c’est-à-dire des baies, bâtis, bacs à cartes, châssis, bacs à cartes intégrés au châssis et unités enfichables associées dans des conditions d’utilisation intérieure ou de transport. Elle définit les classifications (niveaux de performance des produits) pour ces produits, en considérant et simulant les charges habituellement générées pendant leur utilisation. Pour les essais de charge mécanique statique et dynamique, des exemples typiques avec des charges de simulation sont utilisés. L’objet du présent document est d’établir des niveaux définis de performances physiques afin de satisfaire à certaines exigences de fabrication, de stockage, de transport et de conditions d’emplacement final. Le présent document s’applique en général uniquement aux structures mécaniques citées ci-dessus. Cette cinquième édition annule et remplace la quatrième édition parue en 2016. Cette édition constitue une révision technique. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l’édition précédente: a) modification du titre; b) révision des Articles 6, 7 et 8, qui incluent de nouveaux montages d’essai définis; c) compatibilité avec l’IEC 61587-2, l’IEC 61587-3 et l’IEC 61587-5.
Mehanske strukture za električno in elektronsko opremo - Preskušanje za seriji IEC 60917 in IEC 60297 - 1. del: Okoljevarstvene zahteve, preskusi in varnostni vidiki (IEC 61587-1:2022)
Ta del standarda IEC 61587 določa okoljevarstvene zahteve, preskuse in varnostne vidike za prazne okrove, tj. ohišja, stojala, okvire, ogrodja, ogrodja z vgrajenim okvirom in povezane vtične enote v notranjih pogojih uporabe oziroma transporta. Opredeljuje razvrstitve (ravni delovanja izdelkov) za te izdelke v zvezi z obremenitvami, ki običajno nastanejo med njihovo uporabo, ter s simuliranjem takšnih obremenitev. Za mehanske statične in dinamične preskuse obremenitve so uporabljeni običajni primeri z navideznimi obtežbami. Namen tega dokumenta je vzpostaviti opredeljene ravni fizičnega delovanja za izpolnjevanje določenih zahtev v zvezi s pogoji proizvodnje, shranjevanja, transporta in končne lokacije. Ta dokument se na splošno uporablja samo za zgoraj navedene mehanske strukture.
