This testing method is broken down into two procedures.

Procedure I (storage) exposes the system to high temperatures while it is turned off, and its purpose is to test the durability of the materials that make up the system. The chamber temperature is 75°C and the test duration is 96 hours.
Procedure II (operation) is to test how the device puts up with heat while having it turned on and used.
The chamber temperatures used in an operational cyclical test is 75°C, and the test duration is 72 hours. The temperature needs to cycle from one end to the other a minimum of three times while testing that the device functions at every point in the test.

There are two parts in this test to determine whether the system can persevere in extremely cold environment.

Procedure I (storage) exposes the system to low temperatures while it is turned off, and its purpose is to test the durability of the materials that make up the system. The chamber temperature is -40°C and the test duration is 96 hours.
Procedure II (operation) testing involves slowly cooling the device to the low temperature and leaving it at that temperature for at least two hours, checking to see that it is still functioning during that time. The chamber temperature is -40°C and the test duration is 72 hours.
