FIXED CAPACITORS FOR USE IN ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT –

Part 1-1: Generic blank detail specification

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their
preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent
rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

INTRODUCTION
This introduction is not intended to be copied into the drafted detail specification. Therefore, it
is positioned in front of the conventional document structure and clause numbering range. It
nevertheless contains normative requirements to the drafted detail specification.
Scope of this generic blank detail specification
This part of IEC 60384-1 is applicable to the drafting of detail specifications for fixed capacitors
for use in electronic equipment.
Function of this generic blank detail specification
This generic blank detail specification is a supplementary document to the sectional
specifications and contains requirements for style, layout and minimum contents of detail
specifications. Detail specifications not complying with these requirements shall not be
considered as being in accordance with IEC specifications nor shall they be described as such.
The detail specification should contain a table of contents prior to the first page of the actual
specification.
In the preparation of the detail specification, the relevant content of the related sectional
specification IEC 60384-X shall be taken into account.
Units, graphical symbols and letter symbols should be chosen, wherever possible, from the
various parts of the IEC 60027 series, the ISO 80000 series and ISO/IEC Guide 99.
This blank detail specification uses for its purpose two different kinds of notes:
For notes which give additional information intended to assist the understanding or use of the
resulting document and therefore shall be copied as NOTE into the drafted detail specification.
As outlined in the ISO/IEC directives, these notes shall not contain any requirement, instruction,
recommendation or permission.
For instructions to the specification writer, COMMENTS are used instead of NOTES. For a clear
distinction, these comments are formatted as IEC-Instructions, as shown in the example below:
COMMENTS For editorial notes which are intended to aid and direct the specification writer and
therefore shall not be copied into the drafted detail specification. In order to accomplish their
function, editorial notes require the use of instructions, recommendations and permissions
addressed to the writer of the detail specification.
Identification of the detail specification and the capacitor
The first page of the detail specification should have a layout starting with a title block as
recommended on the following page.
The numbers in square brackets are editorial references, which are not intended to be copied
into the drafted detail specification, and which correspond to the following information on the
contents which shall be inserted in the indicated positions.
[1] "International Electrotechnical Commission" or the name of the standardization organization
under whose authority the detail specification is published and, if applicable, the
organization from whom the detail specification is available.

[2] The number allocated to the detail specification by the IEC or by the responsible
standardisation organisation, together with the date of issue and issue number, as
applicable. Further reference details required by the responsible standardisation
organisation or quality assessment system may be given here, including an established

8 Quality assessment procedures
8.1 General
8.1.1 100 % test
All capacitors according to this specification are subject to a 100 % test during the
manufacturing process. The following tests shall be performed.
The capacitors shall be measured during the manufacturing process as specified in the
sectional specification, resulting in the removal of all nonconforming items.
This test shall be followed by a re-inspection by sampling to monitor the outgoing quality level
according to IEC 61193-2.
All non-conforming units shall be considered for the calculation of the quality level values.
A lot shall be rejected if one or more non-conforming items occur in the sample.

8.1.2 Certificate of conformity (CoC)
The conformity is declared by marking the packaging in accordance with the relevant system
rules if components are qualified to this specification by a certification body of a quality
assessment system (e.g. IECQ-CECC).
NOTE Such specified conformity marking typically involves the use of a specific mark of conformity, the use of
which is regulated by a marks licence, granted only upon an achieved approval.
An additional certificate of conformity is not required for qualified components.
8.1.3 Certified test records of released lots
Certified test records according to IEC 60384-1:2021, Q.1.5, can be supplied if agreed between
the customer and the manufacturer.
8.2 Qualification approval
Product qualification shall be performed according to the quality assessment system selected.
Examples are given in IEC 60384-1:2021, Annex Q.
Inspection lots shall be formed and tested according to the related sectional specification.
An example of a template for test schedules is given in Table 5.
8.3 Maintenance of a qualification approval
8.3.1 Quality conformance inspection
The product quality conformance inspections shall be performed according to the quality
assessment system selected. Examples are given in IEC 60384-1:2021, Annex Q.
Inspection lots shall be formed and tested according to the related sectional specification.
An example for the lot-by-lot tests and for the periodic tests is given in Table 6.
8.3.2 Non-conforming item
All tests of a sub-group shall be repeated on a new sample if one non-conforming item is
obtained during quality conformance inspection tests. Then, no non-conforming items are
permitted. Release of product may continue during repeat testing.

After 100 % measurement and removal of nonconforming items, a re-inspection shall be performed in order to
monitor the outgoing quality level, according to 8.1.1. A lot shall be rejected if one or more nonconforming
items occur in a sample during re-inspection.
e
This test may be replaced by in-production testing if the manufacturer installs SPC on dimensional
measurements or other mechanisms to avoid parts exceeding the dimensional limits.
f
All tests of the sub-group shall be repeated if one or more nonconforming item is obtained. No nonconforming
items are permitted in the repeat testing. Release of products may continue during repeat testing.
