Overview
This standard is a design guideline for outdoor enclosures to be used at non-weather protected locations above ground and is applicable over a wide field of mechanical, electromechanical and electronic equipment in which equipment and installations with a modular design are used. The objective of this standard is to provide an overview of specifications for enclosures, particularly requirements for outdoor applications for stationary use at non-weather protected locations. These enclosures allow for inclusion of all equipment and provide protection for the outdoor installed facilities against unwanted environmental impacts. The responsible committee is K 662 "Bauweisen" ("Structures") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
