The objective of this Standard is to provide the electrotechnology industry with a complete set of environmental test procedures published as a series under AS 60068 Environmental testing. This Standard is Part 2.65 of that series.

To provide standard procedures and guidance for conducting acoustic tests in order to determine the ability of a specimen to withstand vibration caused by a specified sound-pressure level environment to which it is, or is liable to be, subjected. For sound pressure level environments of less than 120 dB acoustic tests are not normally required.To determine mechanical weakness and/or degradation in the performance of specimens and to use this information, in conjunction with the relevant specification, to decide their acceptability. In some cases, the methods of test may also be used as a means of establishing the mechanical robustness or fatigue resistance of specimens.This part of IEC 60068 describes the procedures for conducting tests and for measurement of the sound pressure levels within the acoustic noise field and considers the need for measurement of the vibration responses at specified points on the specimen. It also gives guidance for the selection of the acoustic noise environment, spectrum, sound pressure level and duration of exposure.
