Apply 2/3 rated voltage (Ur) at 125ºC for 1000 hours

through a circuit impedance of ≤0.1Ω/V. Stabilize at

room temperature for 1-2 hours before measuring.

Store at 125ºC, no voltage applied, for 1000 hours.

Stabilize at room temperature for 1-2 hours before

measuring.

Apply rated voltage (Ur) at 85ºC, 85% relative

humidity for 1000 (500) hours. Stabilize at room

temperature and humidity for 1-2 hours before

measuring.

Apply 1.3x 2/3x rated voltage (Ur) at 125ºC for

1000 cycles of duration 6 min (30 sec charge,

5 min 30 sec discharge) through a charge /

discharge resistance of 1000Ω
