The climatogram is shown in figure 1. Seismic environment: zone 4 as defined in IEC 60721-2-6 [1]. Option zone 4 (modified Mercalli scale ≥ 9): if earthquake conditions are specified by the customer, the conditions stated in clause 5.6 apply. This class shall apply to a permanently temperature controlled enclosed location. Humidity is usually not controlled. The climatogram is shown in figure 1. Heating, cooling, forced ventilation and humidification are used as necessary to maintain the required conditions - especially where there is a significant difference between the room environment and the external ambient. The climate-controlling systems could be periodically switched on or off but extremely high or low temperatures are prevented. This class shall apply to locations: • where installed equipment may be exposed to solar radiation and to heat radiation. It may also be exposed to movements of the surrounding air due to draughts in buildings. They are not subjected to condensed water, precipitation, water from sources other than rain or icing; • without particular risks of biological attacks. This includes protective measures, e.g. special product design, or installations at locations of such construction that mould growth and attacks by animals, etc. are not probable; • with normal levels of contaminants experienced in urban areas with industrial activities scattered over the whole area and/or with heavy traffic; • without special precautions to minimize the presence of sand or dust, but which are not situated in proximity to sources of sand or dust; • with insignificant vibration and shock. The conditions of this class may be found in: • normal living or working areas, e.g. living rooms, rooms for general use (theatres, restaurants); • offices; • shops; • workshops for electronic assemblies and other electrotechnical products; • telecommunication centres; • storage rooms for valuable and sensitive products; • data centres; • computer halls.

Class 3.1 is a combination of classes 3K3/3Z2/3Z4/3B1/3C2(3C1)/3S2/3M1 in IEC 60721-3-3 [i.2].
The climatogram is shown in figure 1.
Seismic environment: zone 4 as defined in IEC 60721-2-6 [1]. Option zone 4 (modified Mercalli scale ≥ 9): if earthquake
conditions are specified by the customer, the conditions stated in clause 5.6 apply.
This class shall apply to a permanently temperature controlled enclosed location. Humidity is usually not controlled.
The climatogram is shown in figure 1.
Heating, cooling, forced ventilation and humidification are used as necessary to maintain the required conditions -
especially where there is a significant difference between the room environment and the external ambient. The
climate-controlling systems could be periodically switched on or off but extremely high or low temperatures are
prevented.
This class shall apply to locations:
• where installed equipment may be exposed to solar radiation and to heat radiation. It may also be exposed to
movements of the surrounding air due to draughts in buildings. They are not subjected to condensed water,
precipitation, water from sources other than rain or icing;
• without particular risks of biological attacks. This includes protective measures, e.g. special product design, or
installations at locations of such construction that mould growth and attacks by animals, etc. are not probable;
• with normal levels of contaminants experienced in urban areas with industrial activities scattered over the
whole area and/or with heavy traffic;
• without special precautions to minimize the presence of sand or dust, but which are not situated in proximity to
sources of sand or dust;
• with insignificant vibration and shock.
The conditions of this class may be found in:
• normal living or working areas, e.g. living rooms, rooms for general use (theatres, restaurants);
• offices;
• shops;
• workshops for electronic assemblies and other electrotechnical products;
• telecommunication centres;
• storage rooms for valuable and sensitive products;
• data centres;
• computer halls.

4.2 Class 3.2: Partly temperature-controlled locations
This class is a combination of classes 3K5/3Z2/3Z4/3B2/3C2(3C1)/3S3/3M2 in IEC 60721-3-3 [i.2].
Seismic environment: zone 4 as defined in IEC 60721-2-6 [1]. Option zone 4 (modified Mercalli scale ≥ 9): if earthquake
conditions are specified by the customer, the conditions stated in clause 5.6 apply.
This class applies to an enclosed location having neither temperature nor humidity control. The climatogram is shown
in figure 2.
Heating may be used to raise low temperatures especially where there is a significant difference between the conditions
of this class and the open-air climate. Building construction is designed to avoid extremely high temperatures.
This class shall apply to locations:
• where installed equipment may be exposed to solar radiation and heat radiation. They may also be exposed to
movements of the surrounding air due to draughts in buildings, e.g. through open windows. They may be
subjected to condensed water. They are not subjected to precipitation;
• where mould growth or attacks by animals, except termites, may occur;
• with normal levels of contaminants experienced in urban areas with industrial activities scattered over the
whole area and/or with heavy traffic;
• in close proximity to sources of sand or dust;
• with vibration of low significance, e.g. for products fastened to light supporting structures subjected to
negligible vibrations.

NOTE: This can decrease the relative humidity.
relative humidity: ratio of the partial pressure of the water vapour in moist air at a given temperature, to the partial
pressure of the water vapour in saturated air at the same temperature
stationary use: use of equipment which is mounted firmly on a structure, or on mounting devices, or permanently
placed at a certain site
NOTE: It is not intended for portable use, but short periods of handling during erection works and for which
down time, maintenance and repair at the location are included.
weatherprotected location: location at which the equipment is protected from direct weather influences
