The Japan Standards Association (JSA) (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo, Director General: Hiroshi Asahi) announced on Wednesday, April 1, 2026, the start of sales of Japanese translations for international standards that evaluate the environmental resistance of electronic equipment and parts: "IEC 60068-2-1 Ed. 7.0:2025 (b) Environmental testing - Part 2-1: Tests - Test A: Cold" and "IEC 60068-2-2 Ed. 6.0:2025 (b) Environmental testing - Part 2-2: Tests - Test B: Dry heat," along with Japanese translations of three other IEC standard amendments.
■ The Standard for Environmental Testing Changed in 2025
Revised in 2025, IEC 60068-2-1 Ed. 7.0:2025 (b) and IEC 60068-2-2 Ed. 6.0:2025 (b) demand more precise temperature control and data reliability than before. This is driven by advancements in technologies where failure is not an option, such as autonomous vehicles, high-power semiconductors, and 5G/6G base stations installed in harsh environments.
