Applies to reproducing equipment for videodisks for home use. Defines and lists the characteristics that affect the performance of videodisk players, establishes conditions and measurement methods of those characteristics, and standardizes the presentation of results. Does not apply to specify limiting values of the various quantities for acceptable performances. Measurement methods are intended to make it possible to assess the performance of the complete player.

IEC 60721-4-1:2001+A1:2003 Deals with the correlation and transformation of the condition given in IEC 60721-3-1 to the environmental tests defined in IEC 60068-2. An environment may consist of a number of environmental conditions such as dynamic, climatic, and biological and other effects, due to chemically and mechanically active substances. In this report, only dynamic and climatic conditions have been considered. The purpose of this technical report is to provide the specification writer with guidance together with a set of easy-to-use tables which correlate and transform these conditions. It has the status of a horizontal standard in accordance with IEC Guide 104. This consolidated version consists of the first edition (2001) and its amendment 1 (2003). Therefore, no need to order amendment in addition to this publication.
