AS 60068.2.1:2023 adopts and modifies IEC 60068 2 1:2007, which specifies cold tests applicable to both non heat-dissipating and heat-dissipating specimens. 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 covered by this document do not enable the ability of specimens to withstand or operate during the temperature variations to be assessed
