CEI EN 61587-2

BILINGUAL

This part of IEC 61587 specifies seismic tests for cabinets and
racks accommodated with IEC 60917 and 60297 series. It applies, in
whole or in part, only to the mechanical structures of cabinets and
racks for electronic equipment according to the above cited series
of standards, while it does not apply to the electronic equipment
or systems deemed to be installed within these mechanical
structures. This standard does not apply either to a cabinet or a
rack having an anti-seismic isolation structure, either external or
internal.

This standard aims to provide test conditions and criteria that
constitute a reference to evaluate the ability of the mechanical
structure of the cabinets or racks to acceptably withstand
specified seismic intensities. For this purpose, this standard
specifies test specimen conditions, such as dimensions (i.e.
height, width and depth) of the cabinet and the rack, load
distribution, structural test condition and the RRS (required
response spectra) of single-axis or tri-axis acceleration as the
seismic test wave condition. The single-axis or tri-axis
acceleration is selectable.
