What are the environmental conditions required for a compliant thermal inspection?

For accurate results, the IEC 62446-3:2017 standard requires:

• Clear sunny sky conditions with at least 600W/m² of solar irradiance.
• Minimal wind speeds to avoid heat dissipation from convection cooling and affecting thermal readings.
• No Rain, Moisture, Dew, Snow, Mist to avoid heat dissipation from convection cooling and affecting thermal readings.

These conditions ensure precise thermal imaging and prevent false readings due to environmental interference.
