SIST EN 168200:2002 + A1:2002

SIST EN 168200:2002 + A1:2002 is a SIST standard for quartz crystal units, issued as a sectional specification for qualification approval. It is the Slovene adoption of EN 168200:1993/A1:1993 and gives a common technical basis for qualifying these components in manufacture and procurement.

What does SIST EN 168200:2002 + A1:2002 specify?

SIST EN 168200:2002 + A1:2002 specifies qualification approval for quartz crystal units. In practice, it is the product-specific standard people use when they need a shared basis for approving these components.

As a sectional specification, the document focuses on one device family rather than the whole electronics field. That matters because manufacturers, laboratories, and buyers need the same reference when they decide whether a quartz crystal unit is acceptable for use.

The standard is classified under ICS 31.140, Piezoelectric and dielectric devices. It also states that it supersedes CECC 68 200 Issue 1:1990.

• Subject: quartz crystal units
• Purpose: qualification approval
• Type of document: sectional specification
• Replaces: CECC 68 200 Issue 1:1990
• Slovene adoption: identical to EN 168200:1993/A1:1993

What are the key requirements of SIST EN 168200:2002 + A1:2002?

SIST EN 168200:2002 + A1:2002 is centered on qualifying quartz crystal units against a defined specification. For users, that means the document is the reference point for deciding whether a component family is approved for supply or use.

The main practical point is the approval method. Qualification approval is the process of showing that the product meets the specification before it is accepted into service, into a supply chain, or into a controlled parts list.

Because the standard is a sectional specification, it is the product-family version of the approval rules. That matters in procurement and quality work: it is the document you cite when you need requirements specific to quartz crystal units, not a broad rule for all piezoelectric devices.

The document’s classification under piezoelectric and dielectric devices also helps engineers place it in the right standards set. For a design or quality team, that means the standard belongs with other component-control documents used to define acceptance and traceability for electronic parts.

In practice, the standard is mainly used to:

• qualify quartz crystal units against a common basis
• support supplier approval and part acceptance decisions
• give laboratories a shared reference for qualification work
• let buyers and quality managers specify the correct component standard in purchasing documents

What terms does SIST EN 168200:2002 + A1:2002 define?

• Quartz crystal units - Components that use a quartz resonator to provide a frequency reference in electronic circuits.
• Sectional specification - A standard that gives product-specific requirements for one defined family within a wider standards structure.
• Qualification approval - Approval based on demonstrating that a product meets the specification before it is accepted for use.
• Piezoelectric and dielectric devices - The ICS category used to classify this standard within electronic component standards.
• EN 168200:1993/A1:1993 - The European standard to which this Slovene standard is identical.

Who uses SIST EN 168200:2002 + A1:2002?

SIST EN 168200:2002 + A1:2002 is used by manufacturers of quartz crystal units, test laboratories, quality managers, and purchasing teams. It is also relevant to engineers who need to specify approved parts in electronic equipment.

These users rely on it for qualification, supplier approval, incoming inspection, and technical procurement. It gives them a common reference so they can talk about the same component family using the same approval basis.

What changed in SIST EN 168200:2002 + A1:2002 from the previous edition?

SIST EN 168200:2002 + A1:2002 supersedes CECC 68 200 Issue 1:1990. The Slovene standard is identical to EN 168200:1993/A1:1993.
