    TEMPERATURE TESTS
    (SOURCE: NORME ISO 16750-4 [2006])


    Operate the device (functional test) as soon as the entire device reaches Tmin. This test shall be as short as possible, but it shall be capable of controlling the correct operation of the device. The latter shall also operate between the 210th minute and the 410th minute of the cycle (see Figure 2). Use operating mode 3.2, in accordance with ISO 16750-1 for phases with electrical operation. Temperature variations shall be in accordance with Table 2. For tests with a hot stop temperature (TmaxHS), see Figure 3 and Table 3. A long voltage period starting at 20 °C is necessary to allow condensation on the device. A permanent switch to Tmin would avoid this, due to the dissipation of electric power. Additional drying of the test chamber air is not permitted.
    Perform 30 test cycles as specified.

    CHUTE TEST
    (SOURCE: NORME ISO 16750-1 [2006])


    SEA: tested device
    A system or component may fall on the ground during handling (e.g. during the car manufacturer's manufacturing chain). If a system or component is visibly damaged after a fall, it will be replaced. But if it is not visibly damaged, it will be installed in the vehicle and must then function properly. The failure mode of this test is the mechanical deterioration (e.g. a condenser that detaches into the housing of an electronic control module, as a result of the high accelerations that appear when the device hits the ground).
    Test
    Parts that, obviously, are damaged by the fall should not be checked (e.g. projectors). Parts that can withstand a fall without visible damage must be checked as follows.
    Number of SEAs: 3.
    – number of falls by SSD: 2;
    – Fall height: 1 m of free fall or actual handling height according to accepted conventions;
    • impact surface: concrete floor or steel plate;
    • SEA orientation: first fall of each SSD to a different dimensional axis, the second drop of SSD according to the same axis but on the opposite side of the case;
    ― operating mode of the SSD: 1.1 (depending on source: ISO 16750-1);
    temperature: to be agreed between the customer and the supplier.
    Visually examine SSDs after their fall.
    No hidden damage is allowed. Minor damage to the housing is tolerated as long as it does not affect the operation of the SSD. Its proper operation must be demonstrated after the test.
    The functional state must be Class C (according to the source: ISO 16750-1).


    A N N E X E I
