Foreword
GB/T 28046, Road Vehicles – Environmental Conditions and Testing for Electrical and
Electronic Equipment – Part 4. Climatic Loads, includes 5 parts.
-- Part 1. General;
-- Part 2. Electrical Loads;
-- Part 3. Mechanical Loads;
-- Part 4. Climatic Loads;
-- Part 5. Chemical Loads.
This Part is part 4 of GB/T 28046.
This Part was drafted in accordance with the rules given in GB/T 1.1-2009.
This Part was redrafted by modifying and adopting ISO 16750-4.2006, Road Vehicles
– Environmental Conditions and Testing for Electrical and Electronic Equipment – Part
4 Climatic Loads.
The technical differences between this Part and ISO 16750-4.2006 and their reasons
are as follows.
-- in order to maintain the correspondence and intercoordination with the serial
standards, "- 40°C" in the former 5.1.1.2.2 is replaced with Tmin (it is an obvious
mistake and it has been changed into Tmin in the revision of ISO 16750-4);
-- the instructions in Article 8 of the former standard have no guiding significance,
so they are deleted in this Part;
-- the requirements in the column of 5.6 in Table 4 of the former text is hard to
understand, so they are modified in this Part by referring to the corresponding
content of the revision of ISO 16750-4.
This Part was proposed by the National Development and Reform Commission.
This Part shall be under the jurisdiction of the National Technical Committee of Auto
Standardization (SAC/TC 114).

3 Terms and Definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in GB/T 28046.1
apply.
4 Operating Temperature Ranges
Table 1 defines operating temperature ranges. The applicable temperature ranges
shall be chosen from Table 1 and shall be given in the specification of the device under
test (DUT).
duration of 24 h unless otherwise specified in the DUT specification. The operating
mode of the DUT is 1.1.
5.1.1.1.3 Requirement
Functional status shall be class C as defined in GB/T 28046.1.
5.1.1.2 Operation
5.1.1.2.1 Purpose
This test simulates the exposure of the DUT to low temperatures with electrical
operation, e.g. the use of the system/components at very low ambient temperature.
Failure mode is electrical malfunction caused by low temperature, e.g. freezing of
capacitors with liquid electrolyte.
5.1.1.2.2 Test
Perform the test according to GB/T 2423.1 cold at a temperature of Tmin for a duration
of 24 h. The operating mode of the DUT is 3.2 as defined in GB/T 28046.1.
5.1.1.2.3 Requirement
The functional status shall be class A as defined in GB/T 28046.1.
5.1.2 High-temperature tests
5.1.2.1 Storage
5.1.2.1.1 Purpose
This test simulates the exposure of the DUT to high temperatures without electrical
operation, e.g. during the shipment of the system/component. Failure mode is
insufficient heat resistance.
5.1.2.1.2 Test
Perform the test according to GB/T 2423.2 dry heat at a temperature of 85°C for a
duration of 48 h unless otherwise specified in the DUT specification. The operating
mode of the DUT is 1.1.
5.1.2.1.3 Requirement
The functional status shall be class C as defined in GB/T 28046.1.
5.1.2.2 Operation
5.1.2.2.1 Purpose
This test simulates the exposure of the DUT to high temperatures with electrical
5.2.3 Requirement
The DUT shall take up its normal function at each temperature between Tmin and Tmax,
i.e. the functional status shall be class A as defined in GB/T 28046.1.
5.3 Temperature cycling
5.3.1 Temperature cycle with specified change rate
5.3.1.1 Purpose
This test simulates varying temperatures with electrical operation of the DUT, e.g.
during the use of the system/components at fast-changing ambient temperature. If a
system/component is exposed to hot-soak temperatures (e.g. engine-mounted
systems/components), an additional short temperature peak is added during the high
temperature phase of the profile to ensure proper function during short temperature
peaks. The electrical operation is switched off during phases of decreasing
temperature to avoid electrical heat dissipation of the system/component which would
inhibit reaching Tmin inside the system/component. Failure mode is electrical
malfunction during temperature change.
NOTE This test is not intended to be a life test.
5.3.1.2 Test
Perform the temperature cycling according to GB/T 2423.22.
Operate the DUT electrically (functional test) after the whole device has reached Tmin
for the shortest possible duration to check the correct function of the device. In addition,
operate it electrically between 210 min and 410 min of the cycle (see Figure 2). Use
operating mode 3.2 for the phases with electrical operation. The changes in
temperature shall correspond to the specifications given in Table 2. For tests including
hot-soak temperature (TmaxHS), see Figure 3 and Table 3. The long period of electrical
operation is started at 20°C in order to allow possible condensation of humidity on the
DUT. A permanent opera...
