This part of IEC 60695 specifies the mould stress relief distortion test as a test method for use
by product committees.
It is applicable to electrotechnical equipment including parts made from polymeric materials.
This test is intended to simulate the effects caused by the relieving of moulding stresses by
conditioning the product or part at a temperature higher than the maximum normal operating
temperature and observing the nature of the resulting changes.
One of the responsibilities of a technical committee is, wherever applicable, to make use of
basic safety publications in the preparation of its publications.
