Scope

This part of IEC 61587 specifies mechanical tests, climatic tests and safety aspects for cabinets, racks, subracks and chassis as defined in the standards of the IEC 60917 series and the IEC 60297 series for indoor applications. It applies in whole or part only to the mechanical structures of cabinets, racks, subracks and chassis, but it does not apply to electronic equipment or systems. Tests dedicated to outdoor enclosures are standardized in IEC 61969-3. Some suitable parts of IEC 61587-1 apply to IEC 61969-3.
