Prior to the execution of this service life test, a check shall be condected to ascertain whether the high test acceleration using the test parameters 65¡æ and 93%RH. Exceeds the physical limits of the materials used in the components (eg. Hydrolysis of plastics). Where applicable, the contractor and client shall agree to changes in the test temperature and test humidity (eg. To +55¡æ and 93%RH) while increasing the test duration as per the Lawson model such that the physical limits of the materials used are not exceeded during the test. The overall severity of the testing shall, however, remain unchanged. The test humidity shall not exceed the level of 93% RH.
[Deviating test sequence for components with reduced performance at high temperatures]
For components with reduced performance (e.g. reduction of backlight of LCD displays at high temperatures staring at T (op, max) (£¼65¡æ) the test shall not - deviating from table 73: Test oarameters K-14 Damp heat, steady state- severity 2 - be carried out at a constant test temperature of 65¡æ, but with the following parameters (see table 73)
