EN 60068-2-27 Shock BSR Testing for Vehicle Electronics
The EN 60068-2-27 standard outlines the procedures for performing shock tests on various types of products, including vehicle electronics. This type of testing is crucial in identifying potential issues related to Buzz, Squeak & Rattle (BSR) that can arise due to mechanical stress or environmental conditions during transportation and use.
When it comes to automotive electronics, the integrity and reliability are paramount. In this context, BSR refers to the unwanted sounds and vibrations that occur when components within the vehicle undergo mechanical shock. These issues can be particularly problematic in high-stress environments such as those experienced by vehicles during transportation or under harsh environmental conditions.
The purpose of EN 60068-2-27 testing is to ensure that the tested components and systems are capable of withstanding the expected levels of mechanical shock without failure. This standard helps in maintaining product quality, enhancing safety, and reducing warranty claims by identifying any potential weaknesses early on.
The test setup involves subjecting the specimen to specified shock levels using a half-sine pulse waveform. The duration and amplitude of these pulses are defined according to the requirements outlined in EN 60068-2-27, which considers factors such as the type of vehicle electronics being tested and its intended use.
Preparation for this test includes ensuring that the specimen is correctly mounted on a fixture designed to replicate real-world shock conditions. It is also important to ensure that all connections are secure to prevent any accidental disconnections during testing, which could lead to false results or damage to the specimen.
The testing process itself involves applying controlled mechanical shocks to the specimen using a test machine capable of generating half-sine pulses within the specified frequency range. The goal is to simulate the shock conditions that the vehicle might encounter over its lifecycle.
Once the testing is complete, detailed reports are generated, providing comprehensive information about how each component or system performed under shock conditions. This includes not only pass/fail results but also insights into any issues detected during the test run. These reports are invaluable for quality assurance and continuous improvement efforts within automotive manufacturers.
