1 Scope
This part of IEC 60721 deals with environmental conditions appearing in nature related to earthquake vibrations
and shocks.
Its object is to define some fundamental properties and quantities for characterization
of earthquakes as background material for the severities to which products are liable
to be exposed during storage and use. The accelerations given are for ground surface
conditions only. Conditions related to structures are referred to but restricted to
general case descriptions.
