This Indian Standard was first published in 2022 and was identical to IEC 60068-2-17 : 1994. The first revision of the Indian Standard has been taken up to align it with the latest version of IEC 60068-2-17 : 2023

The main changes are as follows:

a) Wherever the words 'International Standard' appears referring to this standard, they should be read as 'Indian Standard'; and

b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker while in Indian Standards, the current practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
