, is a series of standards that specify test methods and general requirements for various types of solderless electrical connections. These connections are fundamental to the reliability of almost every electronic device and piece of equipment you use, from a smartphone to a car.
If you are a testing lab, you may access standards through IECEE (IEC System of Conformity Assessment Schemes for Electrotechnical Equipment and Components). iec 603525 pdf
The connection must exhibit low contact resistance. The standard defines maximum allowable resistance changes after environmental testing (e.g., rapid change of temperature, damp heat). C. Mechanical Strength
The current version of the standard is the fifth edition, published in July 2020. It establishes general requirements, test methods, and practical guidance for solderless press-in (press-fit) connections used in electrical and electronic equipment. 1.

The 2020 edition (IEC 60352-5:2020) replaced the 2012 version with several significant updates:
Strict tolerance requirements for drilling and plating the PCB holes.
: Added definitions for metal boards and other non-PCB substrates, acknowledging that press-in technology is no longer limited to standard FR4. Refined Testing :
