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 2.59 of that series.

To provide a standard procedure for determining, by the sine-beat method, the ability of a specimen to withstand specified severities of transient vibration.
