Mechanical structures for electronic equipment - Tests for IEC 60917 and IEC 60297 series - Part 1: Environmental requirements, test set-up and safety aspects for cabinets, racks, subracks and chassis under indoor conditions

IEC 61587-1:2011 specifies environmental requirements, test set-up, as well as safety aspects for empty enclosures, i.e. cabinets, racks, subracks and chassis under indoor conditions. The purpose of this standard is to establish defined levels of physical performance in order to meet certain requirements of storage, transport and final location conditions. It applies in whole or part only to the mechanical structures of cabinets, racks, subracks and chassis, but it does not apply to electronic equipment. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2007. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: - Rephrasing 'performance level' by 'classification'; - Reference to fire hazard testing according to IEC 60695-11-10 in 8.2.1; - Intended applications replaced by application examples; - Static load test, distributed dummy load locations for ETSI and 19' removed; - Table 'Static load distribution within the cabinet' IEC 60297-2 changed to IEC 60297-3-100; - IEC 60917 subrack 625 mm wide has been removed, as it is not a common width; - Parts of the document relevant to outdoors have been removed (reference to 61969 series).

Structures mécaniques pour équipement électronique - Essais pour les séries CEI 60917 et CEI 60297 - Partie 1: Exigences environnementales, montage d’essai et aspects de la sécurité des baies, bâtis, bacs à cartes et châssis dans des conditions d’intérieur

La CEI 61587-1:2011 spécifie les exigences environnementales, le montage d'essai, ainsi que les aspects de la sécurité des enveloppes vides, c'est-à-dire des baies, bâtis, bacs à cartes et châssis, dans des conditions d'intérieur. L'objet de la présente norme est d'établir des niveaux définis de performance physique, afin de satisfaire à certaines exigences de stockage, de transport et de conditions d'emplacement final. Elle ne s'applique totalement ou partiellement qu'aux structures mécaniques des baies, bâtis, bacs à cartes et châssis, mais elle ne s'applique pas aux équipements électroniques. Cette troisième édition annule et remplace la deuxième édition parue en 2007. Elle constitue une révision technique. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente: - Reformulation de 'niveau de performance' en 'classification; - Référence aux essais relatifs aux risques du feu, conformément à la CEI 60695-11-10, en 8.2.1; - Applications prévues remplacées par exemples d'applications; - Essai de charge statique, emplacements des charges de simulation réparties pour ETS1 et 19' supprimés; - Dans le Tableau 'Répartition des charges statiques à l'intérieur d'une baie', CEI 60297-2 modifiée en CEI 60297-3-100; - Suppression de la largeur de bacs à cartes de 625 mm selon la CEI 60917, qui n'est pas une largeur commune; - Suppression des parties du document applicables à l'extérieur (référence à la série CEI 61969).

Mehanske strukture za elektronsko opremo - Preskušanje za IEC 60917 in IEC 60297 - 1. del: Okoljevarstvene zahteve in preskusi, varnostni vidiki za ohišja, stojala, okvire in šasije

Ta del standarda IEC 61587 določa okoljevarstvene zahteve, vzpostavitev preskusov ter varnostne vidike za prazne okrove, tj. ohišja, stojala, okvire in šasije v notranjih pogojih. Namen tega standarda je vzpostaviti opredeljene ravni fizičnega delovanja za izpolnjevanje določenih zahtev v zvezi s pogoji shranjevanja, transporta in končne lokacije. V celoti ali v delih velja le za mehanske strukture ohišij, stojal, okvirov in šasij, vendar ne velja za elektronsko opremo. Ta izdaja vključuje naslednje znatne tehnične spremembe glede na prejšnjo izdajo: 1) Zamenjava pojma »raven delovanja« s pojmom »razvrstitev«. 2) Sklicevanje na požarno ogroženost v skladu s standardom IEC 60695-11-10 v točki 8.2.1. 3) Nameravani načini uporabe so zamenjani s primeri uporabe. 4) Preskus statične obremenitve, lokacije razporejene navidezne obtežbe za ETSI in 19” so odstranjeni. 5) Tabela »Razporeditev statične obremenitve v ohišju« IEC 60297-2 je spremenjena v IEC 60297-3-100. 6) Okvir širine 625 mm iz standarda IEC 60917 je odstranjen, ker ni običajne širine. 7) Deli dokumenta, relevantni za uporabo na prostem, so odstranjeni (sklicevanje na skupino 61969).
