IS 9000 : Part 11 : 1983 Basic environmental testing procedures for electronic and electrical items: Part 11 Salt mist test

0. FOREWORD

0.1 This Indian Standard (Part XI) was adopted by the Indian Standards Institution on 17 February 1983, after the draft finalized by the Environmental Testing Procedures Sectional Committee had been approved by the Electronics and Telecommunication Division Council.

0.2 The differences in environmerital testing procedures for component type and equipment type items are fast disappearing in the context of technological developments. It is, therefore, felt necessary to have uniform testing procedures wherever possible. This series of standards on environmental te5ting procedures ( IS : 9000) has been prepared with this objective. This is also in line with the principle adopted by IEC/TC 50 'Environmental testing' in developing unified series of standards on environmental testing procedures by the International Electrotechnical Commission.

0.2.1 It is proposed to withdraw the existing Indian standards, namely, IS: 589-1961 * and IS : 2106t series dealing with environmental tests for electronic components and equipment respectively, as soon as the tests mentioned therein are covered in the new series ( IS : 9000 ).
