This sectional specification prescribes the preferred values for characteristics and ratings and also the
inspection requirements for fixed film resistors of assessed quality. These resistors generally have wire
terminations and are primarily intended to be mounted directly on to printed boards. It selects from the
generic specification, EN 60115-1, the appropriate methods of test to be used in detail specifications derived from this specification.
Associated with this specification are one or more blank detail specifications each referenced by an
EN number. A blank detail specification which has been completed as specified in 1.2 of this specification forms a detail specification. Such detail specifications may be used for the grant of qualification approval and for the performance of quality conformance inspection in accordance with an established quality assessment system (e.g. the IECQ-CECC system).
