scope:

This Recommendation applies to cylindrical capacitors and resistors for use in electronic equipment and having two axial terminations. The object of this Recommendation is to give a method of measurement of the dimensions of a component. In clause 3, a methode is given for measuring the length of the body and the length of the terminations. The maximum length of the termination that is covered by coating material can be defined by the method shown in Clause 4. Clause 5 gives a gauge for checking the over-all diameter.
