DIN 50 014
Standard Climates
This standard specifies 3 standard climates for ambient air in terms of temperature, relative humidity, dewpoint temperature, pressure and air speed. These 3 climates are referred to by their temperature and relative humidity only, using the following abbreviations:
23/50 = +23C & 50%RH
20/65 = +20C & 65%RH
27/65 = +27C & 65%RH
In addition, each of these climates can have 1 of 3 different tolerances for the maximum deviation of temperature and humidity, using the following class numbers:
0.5 = +/-0.5C & +/-1.5%RH
1 = +/-1.0C & +/-3.0%RH
2 = +/-2.0C & +/-6.0%RH
The above abbreviations and class numbers appear after the main standard number as a suffix. So, for example, the full DIN reference for a standard climate of +23C +/- 1.0C & 50%RH +/-3.0%RH is DIN 50 014-23/50-1.

VG 95 210
Electronic & electrical component parts: Salt Spray (Corrosion)
Can be used to test the relative resistance to corrosion of coated and uncoated specimens, when exposed to a salt spray climate at an elevated temperature.
Test specimens are placed in an enclosed chamber and exposed to a continuous indirect spray of neutral (pH 6.5 to 7.2) salt water solution, which falls-out on to the specimens at a rate of 0.5 to 3.0ml/80cm²/hour, in a chamber temperature of +35C. This climate is maintained under constant steady state conditions. The test duration is variable.

DIN 50 021-CASS
DIN 50 021-CASS Copper Chloride Acetic Acid Salt Spray Test
Can be used to test the relative resistance to corrosion of coatings, when exposed to a copper accelerated acetic acid salt spray climate at an elevated temperature.
Test specimens are placed in an enclosed chamber and exposed to a continuous indirect spray of acidified (pH 3.1to 3.3) salt water solution, which falls-out on to the specimens at a rate of 1.0 to 2.0ml/80cm²/hour, in a chamber temperature of +50C. This climate is maintained under constant steady state conditions. The test duration is variable.

DIN 50 021-ESS
DIN 50 021-ESS Acetic Acid Salt Spray Test
Can be used to test the relative resistance to corrosion of coatings when exposed to an acetic acid salt spray climate at an elevated temperature.
Test specimens are placed in an enclosed chamber and exposed to a continuous indirect spray of acidified (pH 3.1to 3.3) salt water solution, which falls-out on to the specimens at a rate of 1.0 to 2.0ml/80cm²/hour, in a chamber temperature of +35C. This climate is maintained under constant steady state conditions. The test duration of DIN 50 021-ESS is variable.

DIN 50 021-SS
DIN 50 021-SS Neutral Salt Spray Test
Can be used to test the relative resistance to corrosion of coatings, when exposed to a salt spray climate at an elevated temperature.
Test specimens are placed in an enclosed chamber and exposed to a continuous indirect spray of neutral (pH 6.5 to 7.2) salt water solution, which falls-out on to the specimens at a rate of 1.0 to 2.0ml/80cm²/hour, in a chamber temperature of +35C. This climate is maintained under constant steady state conditions. The test duration of DIN 50 021-SS is variable.

This test standard is based upon test standard DIN 50 017. Please see elsewhere in this document for details of DIN 50 017.
DIN 50 017-KFW
Condensed Water Test Climates
DIN 50 017-KFW
Test specimens are placed in an enclosed chamber, and exposed to a changing climate that comprises of the following two part repeating cycle. 8 hours exposure in a heated, saturated mixture of air and water vapour, at a temperature of +40C and a relative humidity of 100%RH. This is followed by 16 hours exposure to room temperature (+18 to +28C according to DIN 50 014) and a relative humidity of less than 100%RH. The number of cycle repeats and therefore the test duration is variable.

Condensed Water Test Climates
Test specimens are placed in an enclosed chamber, and exposed to a changing climate that comprises of the following two part repeating cycle. 8 hours exposure in a heated, saturated mixture of air and water vapour, at a temperature of +40C and a relative humidity of 100%RH. This is followed by 16 hours exposure to room temperature (+18 to +28C according to DIN 50 014) whilst the relative humidity is maintained at 100%RH. The number of cycle repeats and therefore the test duration is variable.

DIN 50 017-KK
Condensed Water Test Climates
DIN 50 017-KK
Test specimens are placed in an enclosed chamber, in which a climate is created that comprises of a heated, saturated mixture of air and water vapour, at a temperature of +40C and a relative humidity of 100%RH.This climate is maintained under constant steady state conditions. The test duration is variable.
