scope:

This part of IEC 60384 applies to fixed aluminium electrolyticsurface mount capacitors with conductive polymer solid electrolyte,primarily intended for d.c. applications for use in electronicequipment. Fixed aluminium electrolytic surface mount capacitorswith solid (MnO2) are not included but are covered by IEC 60384-18.These capacitors are primarily intended for use in electronicequipment to be mounted directly on substrates for hybrid circuitsor to printed boards. Capacitors for special-purpose applicationsmay need additional requirements.
