PART 6 CLIMATIC TESTS AND SOLDERING TESTS
@ BlS 1991
FOREWORD
This Indian Standard ( Part 6 ) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft
finalized by the Electromechanical Components for Electronic Equipment Sectional Committee
had been approved by Electronics and Telecommunication Division Council.
The object of this standard ( Part 6 ) is to lay down uniform methods of tests for climatic and
soldering tests on electromechanical components.
This standard ( Part 6 ) is based, without any technical change on IEC Pub. 512-6 ( 1977 )
‘Electromechanical components for electronic equipment, basic testing procedures and measuring
methods : Part 6 Climatic tests and soldering tests’, issued by the International Electrotechnical
Commission (TEC).
In reporting the result of a test or analysis made in accordance with this standard, if the final
value, observed or calculated is to be rounded off, it shall be done in accordance with IS 2 : 1960
‘Rules for rounding off numerical values ( revised )‘.

Gtandard Mark
The use of the Standard Mark is governed by the provisions of the Bureau of Indian
Standards Act, 1986 and the Rules and Regulations made thereunder. The Standard Mark on
products covered by an Indian Standard conveys the assurance that they have been produced
to comply with the requirements of that standard under a well defined system of inspection,
testing and quality control which is devised and supervised by BIS and operated by the pro-
ducer. Standard marked products are also continuously checked by BIS for conformity to
that standard as a further safeguard. Details of conditions under which a licence for the use
of the Standard Mark may be granted to manufacturers or producers may be obtained from
the Bureau of Indian Standards.
