Méthodes d'essais pour les matériaux électriques, les cartes imprimées et autres structures d'interconnexion et ensembles - Partie 1: Méthodes d'essai générales et méthodologie

Cette série porte sur les méthodes d'essais applicables aux cartes imprimées et équipées ainsi que sur la robustesse des matériaux et des composants employés sans tenir compte de leur mode de fabrication. Cette partie comporte des méthodes d'essai applicables aux matériaux utilisés pour constituer des structures d'interconnexion (cartes imprimées) et des ensembles électroniques. Ces méthodes sont décrites de telle sorte que l'uniformité et la reproductibilité des procédures et des méthodologies d'essai soient assurées.

Overview

EN 61189-1:1997 - published by CLC and adopted as SIST EN 61189-1:2001 - defines general test methods and methodology for evaluating electrical materials, printed boards (PCBs) and other interconnection structures and assemblies. This Part 1 sets out uniform procedures and principles to ensure reproducibility and comparability of test results for printed boards and related interconnection forms, irrespective of manufacturing method. The standard provides the methodological foundation used across more specific EN 61189 test methods.

Key Topics

  • General testing methodology: principles for preparing, conducting and reporting tests to achieve consistent, repeatable results.
  • Scope of materials and assemblies: applies to printed boards, printed board assemblies and related interconnection structures and components.
  • Uniformity and reproducibility: emphasis on standardized procedures, sample selection, conditioning and measurement practices to minimize variability.
  • Test documentation and reporting: guidance on recording test conditions, setups and results to support traceability and comparison.
  • Applicability across manufacturing methods: designed to be independent of fabrication or assembly techniques, so methods are relevant for diverse PCB technologies.

(Keywords: EN 61189-1:1997, general test methods, PCB testing, interconnection structures, reproducible test methodology)

Applications

  • Establishing a consistent testing framework for qualification and quality control of printed boards and interconnection components.
  • Serving as the baseline methodology for test laboratories producing comparative data on materials, finishes and assemblies.
  • Supporting manufacturers and suppliers in demonstrating product robustness and compliance to customers and downstream standards.
  • Informing development of more specific tests in the EN 61189 series and other industry test protocols.

(SEO keywords: printed board test methods, electrical materials testing, PCB assembly testing, interconnection testing)

Who should use this standard

  • PCB and electronics manufacturers for incoming inspection and process qualification.
  • Independent test laboratories requiring standardized methods to produce reproducible results.
  • Design and reliability engineers assessing materials, finishes and interconnection robustness.
  • Quality managers and procurement specialists verifying supplier test reports and conformity.

Related standards

  • Other parts of the EN 61189 series (specific test methods for particular properties or tests).
  • National adoptions such as SIST EN 61189-1:2001 (Slovenia) that mirror the EN text.

Use EN 61189-1:1997 as the foundational methodology when implementing or comparing PCB and interconnection test programs to ensure uniform, reproducible, and well-documented test results.
