The BOSMAL Automotive Research and Development Institute Sp. z o. o. in Poland from Europe region has released this tender for The subject of the order is the supply of a completely new dust chamber with horizontal air movement for testing resistance to dust ingress and testing the resistance of materials and surfaces to dust. The dust chamber must ensure that tests are carried out in accordance with the methodologies current on the date of the offer, as follows: • PN-EN 60068-2-68 method LC1 • MIL STD 810 method 510.7 Procedure I and Procedure II • NO-06-A107 p. 4.12.4 Method 1 2. Test objects. The chamber will primarily test electrical and electronic devices and components or their housings, as well as material samples. The dimensions of the working space of the chamber should be appropriate to meet the requirements of the above-mentioned standards for testing workpieces with maximum dimensions HxWxD [m] of 1 x 1 x 1. 3. Required parameters of the dust chamber: The required parameters are given in Table 1. Table 1 No. Required parameters 3.1 Dimensions of the working space: The dimensions of the usable working space should enable testing of objects with maximum dimensions HxWxD [m] of 1 x 1 x 1. 3.2 Performing tests in accordance with PN-EN 60068-2-68 method LC1, MIL STD 810 method 510.7 Procedure I and Procedure II, NO-06-A107 p. 4.12.4 Method 1. 3.3 Monitoring and acquisition of humidity and temperature inside the chamber, flow velocity, dust concentration. The chamber should have the ability to save data on a network drive or, if necessary, be equipped with a computer based on the latest Windows operating system. 3.4 Test dust drying system 3.5 The dust distribution system should enable the use of dust types (composition/gradation) for testing that comply with the standards listed in point 3.2. 3.6 The chamber should be equipped with a vacuum pump to apply negative pressure to the tested object. 3.7 The chamber should be equipped with at least 3 channels for measuring and acquiring the temperature of the tested object (compatible with K or Pt100 type thermocouple sensors). 3.8 The chamber walls (or the wall and door) should be equipped with penetrations with a diameter of 200 mm – 2 pcs in total. 3.9 The chamber should be equipped with lighting of the working space. 3.10 The door to the workspace should be equipped with an inspection window with dimensions of at least 300x300 mm. 3.11 The chamber should have the ability to remotely control the test status and parameters – connection e.g. to a LAN network and dedicated software. 3.12 Digital inputs / outputs of the chamber: • at least 4 programmable digital outputs (programmable on/off times from the moment of starting the test) • digital input enabling the test to be started by another external device • digital output signaling the dusting phase • digital output signaling the alarm status. 3.13 Detailed guidelines for the test procedure and required parameters of the dusting system and the dusts used: according to PN-EN 60068-2-68 method LC1, MIL STD 810 Method 510.7 Procedure I and II, NO-06-A107 p. 4.12.4 Method 1. 3.14 The chamber should enable the replacement of working dust; the offer should include a description of the dust removal method/system and its loading 3.15. Minimum 24-month warranty. Additional requirements: No. Required parameters: 3.16. The contractor will specify in the offer the chambers construction method: whether it will be delivered as a whole or in modular form (working chamber as a whole + machine room and control as subsequent modules), or whether the device will be integrated/assembled on-site from components (panel sheathing, bolted sheet metal, etc.). This information is necessary to ensure appropriate parameters of the installation room (e.g., height/width of entrance gates and room). 3.17. Software. If the chamber will be equipped with software installed on a computer with a system compatible with the Clients Windows system. If an equivalent system is offered, the contractor must demonstrate in the offer, also through the relevant means of proof, that the other system will meet the requirements of the BOSMAL LAN network and the software used by the Client. The contractor will provide continuous access to all necessary software updates. Updates will be free of charge for a period of 3 years from the date of signing the Final Acceptance Protocol and should be available for a period of at least 10 years. The control computer (if applicable, if part of the delivery) to be connected to the BOSMAL LAN must have an operating system currently supported by the manufacturer (technical parameters must be consistent with the operating system suppliers requirements). Its version must natively support operation in the Microsoft Active Directory network available to the Ordering Party (at least MS Windows 11 Pro or MS Windows Server 2025 Standard as of the date of the Technical Specifications). If software is delivered as part of the order, both installed on the control computer and on other operator computers, it must be updated at least to address security vulnerabilities. Therefore, the supplier will provide access to updates of the software in question free of charge for a period of three years from the date of signing the Final Acceptance Protocol and will provide access to updates for a minimum period of 10 years. Software updates must be coordinated with operating system updates to ensure stable operation of all components covered by the order. The supplier will provide detailed documentation regarding the supplied software, backup methodology, and recovery methodology. Access to software versions, documentation, technical information, and releases must be provided to the Ordering Party on an ongoing basis via a dedicated digital platform or other equivalent solution. 4.
