This part of IEC 61969 contains design guidelines for outdoor enclosures and is applicable
over a wide field of mechanical, electromechanical and electronic equipment and its
installation where a modular design is used. The objective of this standard is to provide an
overview of specifications for enclosures focused on requirements for outdoor applications for
stationary use at non-weather protected locations. These enclosures are considered to
contain any equipment and provide protection for the outdoor installed facilities against
unwanted environmental impacts. The installed equipment may be, but is not limited to,
subracks according to IEC 60917-2-2 or IEC 60297-3-101. A typical outdoor enclosure is
shown in Figure 1.
